Manage system operations

System operations automatically assign roles to users across your site. When a new Confluence site is provisioned, all system operations use Confluence’s default roles only. Read about disabling default roles

You’re able to change the assigned role for each operation. Doing this may expand or restrict what those users can do.

Change the role used by a system operation

To change which role a system operation uses:

  1. Go to Confluence settings, then select Permissions.

  2. Select System operations.

  3. Go to the system operation you would like to update and select a new role.

    • Choose Don't assign a role if you don’t want the operation to assign any access.

  4. Review the permissions changed (added and removed) by the selection.

  5. Select Change role.
