Does an edit restriction on a page automatically apply to its child pages?

• A. Yes
• B. No
• C. Only if the parent is published
• D. Only for first-level children

Answer: (A)

In Confluence, edit restrictions are inherited by all descendant pages. This means that when you set who can edit a page, those edit rights flow down to its child pages, so the restrictions automatically apply unless you explicitly change a specific child page’s restrictions. This makes securing a whole section straightforward, though you can always override on individual child pages if you need different access.
