Space settings

Space-level configuration is optional. Use it when a program or mission space needs tighter classification policy than the rest of Confluence.

Open Space toolsClassifierConfiguration (as a space administrator).

Settings

Setting Description
Classification restricted Enables program-style enforcement; disables selective viewing in this space
Default classification Applied to pages with no valid marking; lazy backfill on first access
Allowed classifications Only listed markings participate in rollup
Space group prefix Prepended to group names for this space only

When to enable classification restriction

Enable only when:

  • Every page in the space must meet a minimum classification baseline.
  • Users must satisfy space access AND classification group (AND rule).
  • Selective paragraph viewing is not desired in this space.

Leave off for normal collaboration spaces that use selective restriction.

Default classification

If enabled with a default (for example Secret//SAP//REL TO USA):

  • New or empty pages may receive the default banner on first view.
  • Permissions are updated to match the default group.

Allowed list

Rollup ignores classifications not on the allowed list. On save, out-of-policy markings may be clamped to the default or allowed set.

Group validation

The space config UI can validate that groups referenced by space settings exist, including prefixed names.
