# Restricted source page was published and now anyone in the target space can read it

**What you are seeing**

A restricted source page was published and now anyone in the target space can read it.

---

## Why it happens

Page restrictions are deliberately not copied. A restricted source page becomes an unrestricted page in the target space.

---

## What to do

Restrict the published copy yourself in the target space, or control access at the target space's permission level. Plan the target space's permissions on the assumption that everything published into it is visible to everyone who can see that space.
