In-Depth Information
The Confluence administrator permission and the
confluence-administrators group are not related
.
Although the name suggests they are related, they
are not. Granting a user or group the Confluence
Administrator permission is not the same as adding the
user to the confluence-administrators group.
How the different roles are related to each other is illustrated in the following diagram:
Restricted

Confluence
Administrator
System
Administrator
Super User
As a user within the confluence-administrators group is allowed to view
and edit all content, it is recommended to use a different user account
for day-to-day work. With the System Administrator permission, all
administrative functions can be performed but your administrators aren't
allowed to view all content.
A super user account would only be needed if restricted content can't be
accessed by anyone anymore. The super user can still access the content
and restore the restrictions.
