Restrictions or Edit is missing from a variable's menu
What you are seeing
The row's ... menu has no Restrictions, or Edit is greyed out there and in the details sidebar. Trying to save may say You don't have permission to edit this variable.
#Why it happens
Option | Who gets it |
|---|---|
Restrictions | Space administrators (space variables), people who manage permissions for global Capable content (global variables), and the variable's author while they can edit it. |
Edit | Anyone Confluence lets edit the variable: edit permission in its space, and on the variable's restriction list if it has one. |
The Edit access column shows Only specific people can edit when a variable is restricted. Variables in a read-only space also show as locked.
#What to do
Ask the variable's author or a space administrator to add you to Can edit in its restrictions, or to make the change for you.
