Confluence Sites and Spaces

When With a Confluence license, you get an assigned Web address. In my case, the web site is: skywebteam.atlassian.net.

Spaces are a way to organize pages and content into logical categories that can be separately managed ( much like a simple, flat folder system ). Administrators can provide different access and permissions easily to a space. In addition, you can optionally set a space to public access allowing anonymous users access to the space.

Spaces ( and their pages can be imported, exported and archived. I can email you a small space with a few pages that an administrator at your site can import.

Confluence registered users

As a Web CMS ( Content Management System ), Confluence makes it easy for registered users with the right permissions to add, edit and delete pages

Confluence anonymous users

The Confluence Cloud paid licenses offer optional access to anonymous users. If I want to create a general knowledge base to share with anyone, I can set my Confluence site or an individual space to allow anonymous user access.

Admin Page showing Spaces and default permissions by role

Spaces are a convenient way to segregate content.  The Space administration page below shows 3 categories of users:

• Confluence users - normal users registered on the site
• Administrators - manage the space

In the page below, you can manage the specific permissions eacch role has on the space.

In addition, adminstrators can create individual spaces and set individual permissions
