Are page restrictions inherited by default?

• A. No, they are not inherited and must be set individually
• B. Yes, they are inherited
• C. They are inherited only down one level
• D. They are inherited only for public pages

Answer: (A)

Page restrictions are set on each page and do not automatically cascade to child pages. In Confluence, access controls control who can view or edit that specific page, and by default a child page does not automatically inherit restrictions from its parent. This design helps prevent unintentional exposure of content and gives you the flexibility to have a mix of open and restricted pages within the same space. If you want a child page to follow the same restrictions as its parent, you would enable inheritance for that page or apply the same restrictions explicitly to the child. The other options imply automatic or level-limited inheritance that isn’t how it works by default, and aren’t aligned with the typical per-page control model.
