Overview

The creator of a collection (the Collection Manager) can manage the Confluence users and user groups who can

  • add snapshots to a collection (collection contributor)

Collection contributers and collection viewers and can both view the collection and the added snapshot documents.

A user can only be given permission to view or contribute to the collection by the user who created collection - the Collection Manager.

Add collection contributors

Collection contributor permissions can be added by the collection manager in the space snapshot publishing dashboard when

  • creating a new collection using the Add Collection option
