Inherited Permissions

[John Robbins]

I was shocked to learn that inherited permissions only works for view restrictions.  What is the thinking here?

I want to setup a page and have all current and future nested pages have the exact same permissions.  Most can view, one group can edit.  The only way I can see to do this is to visit each page and apply the edit restrictions manually. And have everyone who creates a new page remember to do the same.  This is brain dead functionality.

Do I have this wrong?  What is the rationale for this? Is there a better way, natively within the product?

Hi @John Robbins ,

Yeah, you right ! only view permissions will be inherited and within native features, it is not possible to configure. Below is the on going Atlassian ticket and vote or watch to get further updates on it.

Alternatively apps like Edit page Inheritance can be used to inherit the edit permissions. 

Thanks,
