Classifier for Confluence adds data classification markings to Confluence pages and ties those markings to Confluence group permissions.

This guide walks you from installation through configuration to day-to-day use — for Confluence administrators, space admins, and authors.

How Classifier fits Confluence

  1. Authors mark content inline (text, images, blocks) or confirm a page-level banner on save.
  2. Classifier calculates the strictest classification on the page (the rollup) and displays it as the page banner.
  3. Confluence page restrictions are updated so the matching classification group (and configured grantees) control View and Edit.

Classifier does not replace Confluence permissions — it sets page restrictions based on classification.

Before you begin

  • Confluence 9.2.6+ (Server or Data Center)
  • Confluence administrator access for global configuration
  • A plan for Confluence groups that mirror your classification scheme
  • (Optional) A JSON template for your standard (DoD, NATO, ISO, UK, etc.)
