Manage user roles
Roles make managing user access to spaces consistent, predictable, and scalable. Each role has a different set of individual permissions associated with it, giving you confidence in what each user can do.
You can also assign roles broadly to different classes of users like All Confluence users or All Confluence admins, regardless of group membership.
Role based access control is currently in beta.
