What can guests do in Confluence?
- Tony Browne (Unlicensed)
Guests are a different type of user than a regular Confluence user — they can only have access to one space at a time (assigned by an admin) and that access has certain limitations.
Guests can also access any space allowing anonymous access
In addition to a guest’s single space, they will have access to any space that allows anonymous users to access it.
This applies even if anonymous users are restricted access to the site in global permissions.
Guests have different default space permissions
By default, guests will have the following space permission settings.
Space admins can grant guests all space permissions except the following:
Space admin
Export space
Restrictions
Guests have limited access to internal user info
Confluence blocks guests' access to the people directory, which contains site-wide user information.
Functions that query the people directory of the entire site include:
@ mentions
the Teams tab in the top nav bar
user search
user pickers
These are systemically blocked for all guests.
Apps
Guests are restricted from using Confluence’s system apps, including:
Analytics (site-level and space-level)
Team Calendars
Confluence Questions
Guests can, however, interact with page analytics.
Guests can’t add or manage any apps.
Marketplace apps
Just as guests have free access to Confluence, so will they have free access to all Marketplace apps you’re using on Confluence.
Third-party apps
If a third-party app used by 14 West is enabled in any spaces or on any pages that guests have access to, then those guests will be able to interact with it.
