I am the admin and there is no page restriction but the edit button is not shown. Only at one page :(

Are you still facing this issue? And none of the above suggestions could help (especially checking page restrictions)?

Is this Confluence Cloud or Server?

Depending on the hosting type or version, there might not be an edit button but an icon - such as a pencil icon - in the top-left. You could also try pressing the keyboard shortcut "e" to see if that works.

If not, ask your Space Admin to check your permissions. There are no "edit" permissions in Confluence usually, you need add/create access to get these permissions.

A Space Admin can check via:

1. Go to Space Settings \> Space Permissions
2. Ensure your individual user account, or Group you are a member of, has *Add*permissions for the relevant component - Pages, Blog, Comments, etc

*** ** * ** ***

Is the issue happening with all pages, or just one page?

If it's just one, it could be Page Restrictions. These are additional restrictions beyond the Space's permissions which limit who can read and/or edit a Page.

You can see more detail on these for [DC here](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/page-restrictions-139414.html), or [Cloud here](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/add-or-remove-page-restrictions/), but in general...

* You'll need to find someone with the relevant access to manage the restrictions. Often this is a Space Admin, or they can help you identify the right contact
* These restrictions are managed through the *padlock icon*on each Page

Let us know if this helps resolve your issue - if not, perhaps provide us with a screenshot of what you're seeing so we can assist further :)

There's a suggestion for this you can vote/comment on - see [CONFCLOUD-38722](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-38722)

Quite an old request though, looks like it originally started as [CONFCLOUD-4087](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-4087) back in 2005!

Welcome to Atlassian Community !

Which platform are you -\> Confluence cloud or server ?

Did the space admin provide you the "Add" Pages option in confluence ? Does your user has confluence can use permissions ?

And there could be a possibility that the page is [restricted](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/add-or-remove-page-restrictions/) for edit access. In that case check and get added to that restrictions

Please check with admin to get it fixed, by mentioning the above possible reasons.

Regards,

Vishwas
