RIT will permanently shut down the RIT Wiki (Confluence wiki) on February 2, 2024. Review the Wiki Shut Down Overview for information on alternative tools, exporting content from the wiki, and other FAQs.
In the "Space Admin" area of your wiki you can set the default capabilities of the individuals and/or groups that you would like to have as participants. In most cases, these permissions will be broad, because the nature of a wiki is that you want people associated with your space to be able to contribute as freely as possible. However, you may have specific pages in your wiki space that you do not want certain individuals or groups to view or edit, and for those instances you may want to utilize page level restrictions.
Adding Page Level Restrictions

Page Restrictions are not Permissions
A common mistake is a user who can edit pages on wiki space confusing Page Restrictions for Permissions.
Page Restrictions cannot grant access or grant privileges a user does not already have from the Permissions on the wiki space.
Think of your wiki as a house. Permissions are the key to getting into the house from the outside, they are the first level of security for the house. Restrictions are the key to individual rooms or sections of the house. You have to be able to get into the the wiki space/house with Permissions before you even have to worry about the locks on rooms inside the house with the Restrictions.
Generally you only need to use Restrictions if a page or a page and its children require a different set of security compared to the rest of the wiki space. For example, a wiki for a club may be set up in Permissions so all members can view and edit pages, but you might have a Leadership page with Restrictions on it so only members of the leadership team can view and edit that page and it's children.

If a user is not granted permission in the Space Permissions, either directly or through a group they are a member of, adding them to Page Restrictions will have no effect. Please review the Granting users permission to view and use your wiki space documentation for details. |
Adding Page Level Restrictions
Restrictions determine any additional viewing or editing restrictions (above and beyond space level permissions) for that particular page and its children. You can set up restrictions for viewing and for editing.
Accessing the restrictions
You can access the restrictions on a page in two ways.
When viewing the page, choose Restrictions from the Tools menu.
If you are editing the page, near the bottom of every page is a section titled "Restrictions" where you can click on the Edit link.
Editing the restrictions
By default, there are no additional viewing or editing restrictions for any page in your wiki space. This does not mean that anyone in the world can view/edit this page. It means that the individuals and/or groups to whom you gave view/edit permissions in the "Space Admin" area are not currently restricted from viewing or editing this page.
To add an editing restriction, click on the "Restrict editing of this page" radio button; then click Choose me, Choose users (to search for a user), or enter a person's username in the text field, and then click on the Add button. In doing so, you have just restricted the editing of that page to a specific user. Even so, anyone who has space-wide viewing privileges can still view the page (unless, of course, you restrict viewing as well).
The process for restricting viewing is the same, only you would click on the "Restrict viewing of this page" radio button.
When you save your changes, your new page restrictions will save as well.
Note: Page level permissions will also be inherited by that page's child pages, or page family.
