Scoped Permissions

On every plan, including Free, you can override a member’s permissions for a specific space or page without changing their team role. This used to be a Pro+ feature; it is now available to every team.

Where to configure

• Space Settings → Permissions — /teams/:teamId/:spaceSlug/_settings/ → Permissions tab
• Page Settings → Permissions — …/:pageSlug/_settings/ → Permissions tab

Requires: Manage Spaces (space tab) or appropriate page manage access.

How overrides work

1. Start from the member’s team role permission set.
2. Space override replaces space-level bits (read/write/manage space).
3. Page override replaces page-level bits (read/write/delete/comment/attach/manage comments).

Overrides are per user. Search for a member, then toggle only the bits you want to change.

Example scenarios

• Contractor (Member role) — grant Write Pages on one page only via page override.
• Legal reviewer — Read Pages everywhere but Manage Comments on a compliance space.
• Space lead — Manage Spaces on Engineering space without full team Admin.

Clearing overrides

Remove overrides to fall back to team role defaults (set override mask to empty/zero).

Relation to visibility

• Private space/page still requires the user to be on the member list in addition to holding read permission.
• Public content on public teams may be visible to guests without any account—overrides do not apply to anonymous guests; team public visibility governs guest read access.
• Changing a space or page between Restricted/Private/Public still requires Pro or above—only the member-level overrides described here are free on every plan.
