Option selected | Inheritance behavior |
|---|---|
None | When you hit the apply button all descendants get the same edit permissions as the parent page. Additional edit permissions are kept. |
Remove additional edit permissions during inheritance | Same as "None" but additional edit permissions on child pages are removed. |
Always grant an edit permission to the creator of the page | Same as "None" but the creator of a page will always get an additional edit permission. |
Only apply edit permission changes not the whole set | Same as "None" but only the edit permission changes done on the parent page are inherited not the whole set. This might be useful in case you changed the permissions of child pages and don’t want to loose those changes. Example: in case and edit permission was already present on the parent page before the change of permissions and is still present after the change but the current child page does not have that particular edit permission it will not be added in case this option is selected as nothing changed on the parent side. |
Messages shown in the edit permission inheritance dialog
Message | Further explanation | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| This message indicates that an edit permission inheritance is still being processed on this page. You should calculate with ~1 second per descendant. 💡 The message is NOT updated. You have to close the dialog and open it again. | ||
| This message indicates that the edit permission inheritance was successful:
💡 Please remember that descendants might still have their own permissions. This message does NOT mean that all child pages have the same set of edit permissions. | ||
| This message indicates that the edit permission inheritance as not successful or that descendants exists which have not been covered yet etc. The message also indicates the number of descendants which might not be on compliance and indicates the page Ids of the first 5 descendants which do not comply. 💡 You can use the offered link “Fix those pages” to fix the affected pages. | ||
| This message indicates that you can’t perform an edit permission inheritance as you don’t have a personal edit permission (an edit permission for your name). You have to add a personal edit permission first and then come back. 💡 The personal edit permission is needed due to technical reasons in Confluence Cloud. |
