Which permission is required to restore a site or space?

• A. System Admin permissions
• B. Site Admin permissions
• C. Confluence Admin permissions
• D. Space Admin permissions

Answer: (A)

Restoring a site or a space is a system-level action. It affects the entire instance and involves access to backups and the ability to perform potentially destructive changes. That level of access is entrusted only to the System Administrator role, because it governs the entire application and its data, not just a single space or a subset of features. Space Admins can manage content and settings within one space, but they don’t have the authority to touch backups or perform site-wide restores. Confluence Administrators have broad configuration rights across the product, but the restore operation typically remains a system-level task reserved for System Administrators. Site Administrator roles, depending on the setup, don’t inherently grant the same privileged access to restore operations as the system-level role does. So, the correct choice reflects the need for the highest level of access to safely and reliably perform restoration tasks.
