Symptoms
Confluence Administrators Can't See Space Admin link. Confluence is integrated with Crowd.
Cause
The Hibernate Repository is enabled in confluence/WEB-INF/classes/atlassian-user.xml. Crowd does not require this repository and this can interfere.
Resolution
Remove this line from confluence/WEB-INF/classes/atlassian-user.xml and restart Confluence:
1
<hibernate name="Hibernate Repository" key="hibernateRepository" description="Hibernate Repository" cache="true" />
This file should only contain the Crowd repository configuration. Refer to Integrating Crowd with Atlassian Confluence for more details.
If the above procedure does not work, then try to change your current theme to the 'Default Theme' - more details about how to change the Theme can be found here.
