Which statement about restrictions is true?

• A. View restrictions are not inherited.
• B. View restrictions are inherited, and Edit restrictions are not inherited.
• C. View restrictions are inherited, and Edit restrictions are inherited.
• D. View restrictions are inherited, but Edit restrictions are optional.

Answer: (B)

Access restrictions in Confluence are separate for viewing and editing, and they propagate differently through the page tree. View restrictions are designed to cascade to descendant pages—so if a parent page restricts who can view it, that restriction is inherited by its child pages, keeping the visibility consistent across the subtree. Edit restrictions, however, do not automatically cascade downward; editing rights on a parent do not automatically grant or restrict editing on its children, and you typically need to set edit restrictions on each page or configure inheritance for editing explicitly. This is why the true statement is that view restrictions are inherited, and edit restrictions are not inherited.
