Access to talks is defined by complex factors and is based mainly on the following principles:

  • A user needs to have either the Pages permission to edit a page or to add comments or Comments permission in order to be able to add a Talk comment/discussion while viewing a page
  • If the talk has restrictions, so only the users and/or user groups on the restrictions list can access the see this talk.
  • All users, who are allowed to view and edit the talk, can change its viewing restrictions.
  • The space administrator cannot access the talk , if he/she is not on the restrictions list.
