Page History

Space Administrators have permissions to use powerful features not available to other users. This page explains the tasks you can perform when you have Space Admin permissions.

Perform the functions of a space administrator

To perform the functions of a space administrator:

1. In any wiki space, click Image Added, the second icon to the right of the space name.
2. Click the link for the function you want to perform. Functional groups include Content, Space Tools, and Admin. If you click any option in the Space Tools group, the Space Tools page appears.

Avoid deleting the space

View and restore pages from the trash

To restore a page:

1. On the Space Tools page, click Content Tools > Trash. A list of pages in the trash opens.
2. Next to the page you want to restore, click the Restore link.
3. Click OK. It is restored in the space root, visible at Content Tools > Reorder Pages.

In general, NCI Wiki users do not delete (purge) pages from the trash. If you do purge a page, hover over Cancel while reading the warning.

View and manage restricted pages

To view and manage restricted pages:

1. On the Space Tools page, click Permissions > Restricted Pages. A list of the pages appears, showing who is allowed to view or edit each page.
2. To remove page restrictions from a page, in the row for that page, click the padlock icon.

Modify the permissions for the space

Refer to Setting Permissions in a Wiki Space for the steps and the rules.

Add a space template

To add a space template:

1. On the Space Tools page, click Content Tools > Templates.
2. Click Create New Template.
3. Enter the title for the template and the text for the page. Click Save. The system refreshes the list of templates. 

When you create a new page as described in Adding a Page or a Blog Post, you can select the template you want to use. For more instructions, refer to the following Atlassian Confluence help page:

Create a Template

View and edit the space details

The space administrator can view space details and edit any of those details except the space key. 

• You can change the space name. However, changing it so that it varies from the space key can cause confusion.
• You can enter a space description that briefly describes the content of the space.
• You can change the status from Current to Archived. This removes the space from the listing on the dashboard and from Confluence search results.
• You can set any page in the space to be the space Home Page.

To view and edit the space details:

1. On the Space Tools page, click Overview > Space Details. 
2. Click Edit Space Details. 

Add and modify Space Categories

To add or modify a space category label:

1. On the Space Tools page, click Overview > Space Details.
2. Next to Categories, click Edit.
3. Enter a label and click Add. (To remove an existing label, click the X.)

Modify the look and feel within guidelines

The space administrator can change the look and feel of the space in several ways:

• On the Space Tools page, click Look and Feel > Themes. Select the theme you want to apply and click Confirm. While the Global Look and Feel is the default theme of the NCI Wiki, it is identical to the Refined Theme, which is the only other theme option. The wiki administrator can modify the Refined Theme. Submit suggestions to Application Support.
• On the Space Tools page, click Look and Feel > Colour Scheme. You can use the color picker for each element to select colors according to an established NCI color scheme; otherwise use the defaults.
• Click the second icon to the right of the space name. Under Space Tools, click Space Logo. You can upload and apply a logo approved by NCI for the team, or you can turn the logo off

A Confluence wiki Space is a group of pages that can be administered together and may be browsed together.

For users who author and edit content, the Space serves to organize pages on closely related topics in one place. A Space can have many "page families," that is, a main or home page on a topic with any number of "child" pages. Each "child" page in turn can also have "child" pages, forming a hierarchical grouping of pages on one topic. The Tips page is an example of a "wiki home page" with many child pages.

All the pages in a Space can be administered together.

Note: Typically you do not need a Space in which to work. You can create a "page family" for your team in an existing Space.

This means the Space Administrator can set permissions for all the pages in a Space.

Note: If you need to hide all your pages, and your work covers many different topics (so you will have many page families), you should send a request to NCICB Application Support (ncicb@pop.nci.nih.gov) to ask that a Space and the LDAP Groups that can see and work in that Space be created. You need a USER Group (adds content) and a DEVELOPER Group (adds and removes content and can restrict page editing). Name your Space for your organization and your team or project, and name your Groups for your team.

Click the Browse Space link at the top right of any page, and click the tabs to see how you can view listings of the content of a Space, and monitor changes by watching the Space or subscribing to RSS.

The Space Administrator can also do the following for the entire Space.

• Edit the Space Details, except the Space Key, which can not be changed. The name of the Space can be changed.
• Edit the Space Labels.
• Remove the Space.
• Remove pages from the "Trash."
• View the restricted pages.
• Apply a Theme or Color Scheme to the Space.
• Apply a logo to the pages in the Space.
• Import pages from a text file on disk, where the filename is the page title.
• Create a template that can be applied to any page in the Space. (System administrators can create a template that can be applied to any page in the entir
• Export the Space or pages in the Space in PDF, HTML, or XML format.
