Advanced use cases

Use case

Solution

I want to inherit the edit permission but want to exclude a branch.

Define two edit permission inheritances. One on the head of your “tree” the other one on the head of your “branch”. The edit permission inheritance of the “tree” will skip the “branch”.

I want to inherit an edit permission for the whole space.

Despite the fact that the can handle this you should consider to change the space settings instead.

I want to know on which pages an edit permission inheritance is configured.

Frequent support cases

Observation/Question

Explanation/Answer

I started an inheritance on a page with many descendants. It seems to take a lot of time before all child have the proper set of edit permissions.

The app is intentionally slow not to overstress the interface to Atlassian Cloud. Please consider something around 1 second per descendant/child page.

I checked whether a child page got the inheritance - but it has not.

Please reload the page and check again. Confluence Cloud is very special in reloading / caching information and simply does not notice the change although it already happened.To be continued…
