Who becomes the space admin after the group with space admin is deleted?

• A. The creator of the space
• B. The original group remains admin
• C. The system assigns the first user as space admin
• D. No admin is assigned until a new group is created

Answer: (A)

In this scenario, the important idea is how Confluence handles space administration when the group that has admin rights is removed. If a space’s admin rights come from a group and that group is deleted, those permissions disappear. To ensure someone can still manage the space, the system promotes the space creator to Space Admin by default. That means the creator becomes the space admin after the admin group is deleted, guaranteeing there is always at least one administrator for the space. The other possibilities would either rely on the deleted group still having control, or would try to assign admin duties in ways the system doesn’t automatically do, or would leave the space without an admin until a new group is created.
