What are the two tiers of admin permissions in Confluence?

• A. Space admins and global admins (Confluence admin and System admin)
• B. Content admins and User admins
• C. Page admins and Site admins
• D. Group admins and Project admins

Answer: (A)

In Confluence, admin permissions are organized into two levels: space-level administrators and global administrators. Space administrators have control over a single space—adjusting its settings, managing space permissions, and deciding who can view or edit content within that space. Global administrators oversee the entire instance, handling system-wide configuration, user and group management, global permissions, and maintenance tasks that affect all spaces.

That’s why the best answer pairs space admins with global admins, noting that global admins include roles such as Confluence administrators and system administrators. The other term combos don’t reflect how Confluence structures administration: there isn’t a standard pair like content admins and user admins, or page admins and site admins, or group admins and project admins within Confluence’s two-tier model.
