How to i get anonymous users to be able to access a confluence space?

[Deleted user]

I have allowed anonymous permissions to one of my spaces, but I think there should be another way to get anonymous users to access the space besides a link.

If your Confluence site is public, you can grant permissions to people who are not logged in. This is where you give them VIEW space permission.

So 3 different people now have come up with the same answer, but Jake doesnt think this is the answer, therefore I think we need a better explanation of what the set up is.

Let me explain the question better. Do I have to give people a link to my space or is there a way they can get to it by typing "confluence" into google.

[Victor Mutambuki]

yes, you've to give them the URL of your confluence....for example...https://confluence.nameofyourcompany.com if you're in confluence server.

Okay thank you. I guess my original question didn't convey that as well as I thought.

Jake,

It's a learning process. If our answers worked out, please don't forget to accept/vote.

What permissions did you give? (I wouldnt give write perms unless you want spam)

Below should be enough which you set in your 'Space Tools -> Permissions'

They only have view permissions but I don't see how that relates to the question

[Gavin McDonald]

View permissions should be all they need to see the space is what I was getting at.

By design, Anonymous folks do not need to login.

welcome Jake,

If your Confluence site is public, you can grant permissions to people who are not logged in.

Please see attached image. Go to permission --> Edit Permissions under Anonymous Access and grant users VIEW space permission.

No I mean how do they even get to my space if they don't have a login
