Image shows 'You do not have permission to view this image'
What you are seeing
An image on a page shows 'You do not have permission to view this image'.
#Why it happens
The person viewing the page cannot read the space that holds the library image.
#What to do
Give them View permission on that space. Or move the image to the global library and check the permissions on the CAPABLEASSETSTORE space.
#Settings involved
Setting | Where | What it does |
|---|---|---|
Global settings → Capabilities | Confluence admin → Apps → Capable → Settings → Capabilities | - |
Global settings → Asset access | Capable settings → Asset access | - |
Global settings → Egress | Capable settings → Egress | - |
#Limits that apply here
Limit | Value | What happens |
|---|---|---|
Accepted file types for drag and drop | bmp, gif, ico, jfif, jpeg, jpg, png, svg | Anything else shows 'Invalid file type. Only image files are allowed'. |
Image size target for compression | 5 MB and 2500 px on the longest side | - |
Largest image the editor or library import can open | 3 MB | Larger files are resized to PNG to fit. If that still fails, you see an 'Image too large' error. |
