Viewing classified pages

What you see depends on your groups, the restriction mode, and whether the space is classification-restricted.

Everyone

  • Page banner at the top when the page is classified
  • Unclassified inline content (in selective mode)
  • Color-coded markers around content you are allowed to see

Selective restriction mode

Your membership What you see
Banner group Full page, all macros, edit if granted
Space/page View, not banner group Page shell + Unclassified + macros matching your groups; other macros blank
No page View Page not accessible

Edit buttons may be hidden for view-only users; Confluence Edit permission still controls whether edits are actually allowed.

Most restrictive mode

Your membership What you see
Banner group (+ admins) Full page
Not in banner group Page not accessible

Classification-restricted space

You must pass both:

  1. Space View/Edit grant, and
  2. Page classification group membership

Administrators retain admin access.

Macros in edit mode

In the editor, classification macros show their marking for authors. View mode applies access rules and may render empty for unauthorized classifications.

Banner vs live content

The displayed banner is the saved value on the page. If content changes without a save through Classifier, the UI may indicate that rollup needs update — publish again and confirm rollup to realign banner and permissions.
