Set space admin controls

You can use this setting to control whether space admins can set a default classification level to any level of sensitivity, or restricted to a more sensitive level only.

To set whether users can update classification levels:

  1. Go to Atlassian Administration. Select your organization if you have more than one.

  2. Select Security > Data protection > Data classification.

  3. Select the Settings tab to display a list of settings.

  4. Select the Space admin controls setting.

  5. From the slide-out panel, select from the options available.

  6. Select Update, then Update again to confirm your choice.

Set a space default data classification level

Make sure your spaces are also set to any intended default classification levels.

The process for setting a default classification level at the app level varies depending on whether you are using Confluence or Jira apps.
