Managing access to Secrets
DECember 2023 We have released an improved version with enhanced security of Security and Encryption for Confluence Cloud. Check out the next steps for administrators.
Overview
This page covers who can create, view, update, and delete secrets.
You need to ensure that users or groups have been granted Add/Delete Restrictions to allow for continued creation and editing of secrets
space admins are users that have been granted Add/Delete Restrictions permission in a space
non-space admins are users who have not been granted Add/Delete Restrictions permission in a space.
Creating a secret
To create a Secret macro, you must have the following requirements:
You have access to the space where you want to add the Secret macro.
You have Edit permission for the page where you want to add the Secret macro.
You have Add/Delete Restrictions permission in that space.
Updating a secret
To edit a Secret macro, you must be the owner of the secret, either as an individual “User Owner” or a member of a “Group Owner”.
When a user edits a secret, the user will be made User Owner automatically, as long as the user is part of the group. By default, the secret creator is also the owner.
The secret owner can add other users as owners. For details refer to creating and editing secrets documentation.
Granting access to Confluence users to create secrets
For individual users
in Space permissions, in the Individual Users section
grant the user Add/Delete permission under Restrictions
Granting the permission allows the user to add/delete restrictions to other pages in that space.
For groups
in Space permissions, in the Groups section
grant a group Add/Delete permission under Restrictions
Granting the permission allows the members of the group to add/delete restrictions to other pages in that space.
