Working with Groups and Group Permissions
Groups Overview:
Confluence Groups:
Confluence groups are created and managed by Confluence Administrators. Space administrators cannot add or remove members of Confluence groups.
Confluence groups can have any naming convention.
The confluence-users group is a Confluence group and contains every user who is able to log into the University Wiki Service.
Adding the confluence-users group to your wiki space will allow anyone who can log in to the wikis access your site at the level of permission you grant.
Custom Space User Management (CSUM) Groups:
CSUM groups are created by space administrators,. Space admins can add and remove members of these groups. Most of the groups that you will encounter other than the confluence-users group will be a CSUM group.
CSUM groups follow the naming convention: spacekey-groupname.
Creating a Group for your Space (CSUM Group)
- Select "Space Tools" in the bottom left corner of your screen
- Select "Custom Space User Management"
- Select "Create group
- Enter the name you would like to name the group in the "Group Name" field.

- For example if your space key is test and you chose admins as the name of the group it will be displayed as test-admins.
