To set up a new global space, you require the 'Create Space' permission. 'Create Space' is one of the global permissions that can be assigned by a Confluence administrator. See Security or contact a Confluence administrator for more information.
To create a new global space:
- Click Add Space located above the list of global spaces on the The dashboard. The 'Create Space' screen appears, as shown below.
Enter the following information about your new space:
Setting
Description
Space Name
A name for the space. Space names do not have to be unique.
Space Key
A simple key to identify your space (A-Z, a-z, 0-9). This key is a shorthand name for the space, used when linking content between spaces, for web URLs and for reports. For example, a 'Development Space' might have a space key of 'DEV'. The space key must be unique within the entire Confluence site.
Permissions
Choose who can view or contribute content to this space. A space administrator can change the permissions at any time after creating the space.
Theme
The look and feel for your space. A space administrator can change the theme later.
- Click OK. The 'Home' page for your new space is displayed. Note that the home page will automatically contain any default space content as defined by your Confluence administrator.
- Click OK.
Next, you can start adding pages to your space.
