Confluence
Confluence is a wiki — a website that allows any authorized user to add, delete, or revise content via a web browser. This powerful collaboration tool by Atlassian can be used by teams to collect and document requirements, post project or individual status, publish environment links, and much more.
It is available for use upon request by any department or business unit at Stanford.

Get started
To request setup and access for your group or department, submit a help request with the Request Category set to Administrative Applications, and the Request Type set to Confluence.
Users will be assigned to confluence-user group for product access.
If not active for 18 months, they will be removed from confluence-users group and lose access to Confluence.
Default user privileges are:
- confluence-users group (access to the product and default read most projects)
Space Admins are responsible for managing access (adding/removing users) to their space and setting page restrictions as needed.
Default Space permissions upon creation of new spaces will NOT include “confluence-user” (which allows broad view and edit to all users) unless specifically requested at setup (13-Nov-2024). This change is being made to minimize risk to Stanford and your group.
