A collection is created and added to a space set up for snapshot publishing.
A collection manager user must have space administrator permission in a space and a must be member of the Confluence user group added to the app global Snapshot Publishers group Collection Managers group in the app global configuration.
The collection manager can create a collection and manage the collection settings
add and edit the collection name and description
add and edit the users who can view and/or contribute snapshots to the collection
The collection manager is also a user that sets up a space (in which they are a space administrator) for snapshot publishing and manages the collections added to or linked to the space.
Set up snapshot publishing
A collection manager is the space administrator who can set up snapshot publishing in a space using the space snapshot publishing dashboard and then .
Once snapshot publishing is setup in a space
the collection manager can create, link and manage collections in the space
snapshots can be created in the space and added to the collections in the space snapshot publishing dashboard
Other users who are collection managers can
link collections created in this space to spaces for which they have space administrator permission
To link a collection created in another space, the space administrator needs contributor permission for the collection set by the creator of that collection. Users in the space will also need contributor permission to add a snapshot.
This allows snapshots from different spaces to be added a collection by users who have been given contributor permission for that collection.
