Which statement is true about restoration permissions?

• A. You must have Site Admin permissions
• B. You must have System Admin permissions
• C. You must have Space Admin permissions
• D. There are no permission prerequisites

Answer: (B)

Restoring a Confluence instance is a global operation that affects the entire system, not just a single space or page. Because this kind of restore touches user accounts, global settings, and the overall instance state, it requires access to system-wide administration tools and privileges. Space Admins manage only a specific space, so they don’t have the authority to perform a full site restore. Site Admin permissions handle site-level configuration but don’t grant the core system-wide restore capabilities. Therefore, system-level privileges are necessary for restoration tasks.
