Turned on "Restrict publish permissions" but everyone can still publish
What you are seeing
I turned on "Restrict publish permissions" but everyone can still publish.
#Why it happens
The restriction only takes effect when the Allowed publishers list has at least one person in it. Switched on with an empty list, publishing stays open to everyone with edit rights.
#What to do
Add at least one user to Allowed publishers (up to 50). There is no group option. You must name individual users.
#Settings involved
Setting | Where | What it does |
|---|---|---|
Enable publishing | Space settings → Publishing → Setup tab | - |
Target space | Space settings → Publishing → Setup tab | - |
Allow manual publishing | Space settings → Publishing → Setup tab | - |
#Limits that apply here
Limit | Value | What happens |
|---|---|---|
Publish comment length | 500 characters maximum | - |
Allowed publishers list | 50 users maximum; individual users only, | - |
"Publish all pages" / Full Sync | Reads at most 1000 items in a single que | - |
