Page and space permissions are too coarse
You can't give the right people the right access without over- or under-sharing.
The problem
Confluence permissions often force a choice between too open and too locked down. Fine-grained control at the page and space level is hard to express.
Who runs into this
Teams with sensitive pages in shared spaces who need precise access.
How Patcher fixes it
Patcher adds finer page- and space-level permission controls, so the right people see the right pages without blanket restrictions.
