Metadata for confluence / Common-Questions

What is a restricted page/space?

Users can set restrictions on spaces and pages so they will be editable and/or viewable only by specific users, groups, and apps. In case "Metadata for Confluence Cloud" app has no write permissions, it can't store and search metadata from this page.

Default Values

In case you've defined default values for a metadata set and this specific space is restricted, once a page will be created under this space the app won't be able to automatically assign the default metadata on this page.
