Restrict who can publish Confluence pages
To restrict who can publish Confluence pages, open Publishing Space settings, go to the Permissions tab, turn on Restrict publish permissions, add up to 50 people with Add users, and save. Only those people and space administrators can then publish pages from the byline.
#Before you start
You are a space administrator of the source space.
The people you add already have edit permission on the pages they will publish.
#Steps
Open the space and select Capable Publishing in the sidebar (in the Suite, Capable, then Publishing). Under Manage, select Space settings.
Select the Permissions tab.
Turn on Restrict publish permissions.
Select Add users and add each person who may publish. You can add up to 50.
Select Save.
#If it does not work
With the switch on but nobody in the list, everyone who can edit a page can still publish it. Add at least one person.
Space administrators can always publish, whether or not they are in the list.
The restriction covers manual publishing only. Publishing on approval and bulk runs started by administrators are not affected.
To stop manual publishing altogether, turn off Allow manual publishing on the Setup tab instead.
