I need help sharing a space/ page with my team given page admin left the company.
Asked by Thurayya Tabbara:

Hello, one of my colleagues created a space and a page based on the free package of confluence. This colleague has left the organization.

When I try to share the space or page with someone else, I receive a notification that we sent a request to your admin.

Welcome to the community !!

Can you explain how are you sharing the space or page ?   
Do you mean you are trying to grant access to space or page ?

As you are in [free](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/learn-about-confluence-cloud-plans/#Free) cloud version, you cannot manage spaces and recover the permissions.

The only solution I can provide you is to check what groups have the admin permission on the space and yourself to that group.

i.e. go to https://\<baseURL\>/wiki/spaces/spacepermissions.action?key=\<space_key\>

In the attached screenshot, confluence-admin and site-admins goups have the admin access to the space.

Now go to main settings (https://\<baseURL\>/wiki/admin/viewgeneralconfig.action) --\> **groups**. Search for the required group and add yourself to it.
