How do I allow individual page editing?

[Lisa Lee]

Can I grant a user permissions to edit a specific page or do I have to grant space permissions?

In this case the user already has space access, just can't edit the specific page within the space.

The user needs to have edit permission anyway. But besides that, you can restrict the pages / give exclusive edit rights via the lock icon on the page itself.

There's currently no restrictions on the page so I don't really want to alter that. I'm just wondering if I can allow edit permissions to this user without restricting the page itself. I would think anyone that can view the page can also edit it so it seems I'm missing something.

The restrictions can be set very differently. If someone can read a page, it does not mean that they can also edit it.

Yes, but oddly on the page itself I see this:

You should either set the restrictions for the entire space or for the corresponding page.
This is either within the individual page (ineffective) or for an entire space via the space permissions.
You use the appropriate user groups there, which you can create for each individual space (read rights, write-read rights, admin rights) and then assign the corresponding users.
When naming the group, you should choose the names so that you can quickly see for which space and with which rights the group is working. Example confluenc_spacename_r for read only and confluence_spacename_rw for read-write.
The addition confluence is practical for external user management to see which application the group stands for.

Thanks so much for the great reply. Luckily I wrapped my brain around it eventually. I edited individual space permissions and solved the issue.

Thanks all

Good :) Glad that it helped.
