SubSpace Navigation for Anonymous and Guest Users

Guest users and Anonymous users who access a Confluence space will not have access to the SubSpace Navigation app by default.

• What are Guest users?

Learn more about guest access here: Invite guests for external collaboration | Confluence Cloud | Atlassian Support. For Guest users, space access needs to be manually assigned.

When a Guest user accesses a Confluence space, they will not see SubSpace Navigation Menu.

• What are Anonymous users?

Anonymous users are external users who can use a Confluence instance without having to log in.

When an Anonymous user accesses a Confluence space, they will see a version of the SubSpace Navigation Menu with the message: "There is no navigation defined yet." (see Image 1).
