Unauthorized Access Is Prohibited Active Sky Next Crack

If a local AuthPoint user authenticates with an incorrect password more than ten consecutive times, AuthPoint automatically blocks the user account. This only applies to local AuthPoint user accounts, not users synced from an external identity. You can change the number of consecutive times a user can authenticate with an incorrect password before the user is blocked on the Settings page.
If a user fails three consecutive authentication attempts, AuthPoint automatically blocks the token used for authentication. The user cannot authenticate with the blocked token until an AuthPoint administrator unblocks the token. You can change the number of consecutive times a user can fail to successfully authenticate before a token is blocked on the Settings page.
AuthPoint considers authentications that do not have a valid response to be failed authentication attempts. This includes incorrect one-time passwords, incorrect verification codes for QR code authentication, and push notifications that are not valid.
A blocked user cannot authenticate with any of their WatchGuard tokens on any of their mobile devices. The general use case for this action is to completely block a user account when the user has been offboarded or if they may be compromised in some way.
When you block a user account, that does not affect third-party tokens that user has imported to the AuthPoint mobile app. A blocked user can still use their third-party tokens, such as Google Authenticator, to authenticate with third-party resources.
When you change the status of a token to blocked, the user cannot authenticate with that token, but can still authenticate with any other active tokens they have. The status icon next to each token in the Token column indicates whether the token is activated or blocked.
The general use case for this action is to prevent authentication from a specific mobile device that a token is activated on. For example, if a user loses their phone you could block the token that is activated on that device to prevent unauthorized access. This way, if the user has an active token on another device, they can still authenticate with that token.
In general, it is best practice to block a token first before you delete it. You can always change the status of a blocked token back to activated, but a deleted token cannot be restored. If you delete a token, you must create a new token for the user.
The status of the user's token is changed. If the token was activated, it becomes blocked and the user cannot authenticate with that token. If the token was blocked, it becomes activated and can be used for authentication.
I am having doubts that all of the restricted space access issues for even site admins is per design for Atlassian trying to sell you Premium and up. We are on a Standard plan and while I believe taking temp ownership of a user's account (with appropriate email notification sent) is an option, there is no way for a site admin to obtain access to restricted pages, which is super annoying.
I previously commented saying that accessing another user's restricted pages wasn't possible, however...I just realized that in addition to the solution posted by David Catriel, there is another method. If you are an admin and at least one user with page access is not, then (on Cloud) you can use Atlassian Admin to look up their account and "log in as user." (You do this from their account page, on the menu next to the product name.) Then, your access will be the same as theirs.
Yes, but this has the downside - user gets email notification that you have logged in to their account and this may raise some security concerns. I try to be very careful using that option, and notify user prior my login attempt - especially because we have different levels of information access in my company.
As an admin, to get access to a restricted page, go to the bottom left corner, space tools>permissions>restricted pages. If you cannot get to Space Tools go to Confluence Admin>Space Permissions and click Manage Permissions next to the desired space to add yourself as a space admin. Once you have the access you should be able to get page details.
Basically the point is A user with admin rights has, well, admin rights. Not the ability to see and do anything. They can grant themselves the ability to see and do anything, but the admin right does not grant them any "browse" rights automatically. They still have to be given those rights in the space permissions.
I am a Space Admin for all Spaces within Confluence, as I am part of an 'Admin' security group which is assigned to all spaces. When I am on the restricted page in question, there is no 'Space Tools' option listed in the bottom left corner. To test, I explicitly added my user account with 'Admin/Edit' rights for the space where the restricted page is hosted, but nothing has changed.
Hello @Srinatha T I have encountered same problem.
I am already admin to the particular space, my username is added in individual space permissions - all checkboxes are checked as on the picture below.
The page I am trying to reach is not on a restricted pages list neither. I am an Org admin to my Confluence instance and this is very frustrating I can't get to a page.
Contacting the page creator is not going to work, as the person has left company some time ago.
Please advise.
Hi @Srinatha T , I'm finding the exact same issue here. Even as a space admin I cannot access restricted pages. Seems like the only way to get around that is to find someone who does have access and then use user impersonation to go behind the scene and change the access. Seems excessively complicated.
I'm pretty sure this is intentional, and I can see the argument for it. I recall that one team in my department use Confluence to organize material related to hiring, which truly was not supposed to be visible outside a small group. If administrators can see any page at any time, and can make anyone else an administrator, it becomes very possible for companies with less-than-perfect policies or communication (i.e., most companies in my experience) to accidentally expose materials.
If they did want to allow admins to gain access to pages like this, then I think they would need to explicitly show (either through a warning or just through granting access) that Jira admins could see all the pages. That way, users would know what they were getting into. It could definitely cut down on the usability of Confluence for these purposes, though arguably Confluence is not the best place for such work anyway?
In any case, I definitely share your annoyance as users in my company are by and large not super-invested in Confluence, and rely on me to do a lot of basic things. Not being able to see all the pages can make troubleshooting a lot more difficult. But I do see the rationale for it.
@Joshua Carr I think this would miss the point of being a space admin, which by default does have access to everything on a given space so it could be maintained. On top of it, the "restricted pages" section does have an "unlock" icon for space admins to use when the pages need to be unlocked, but that doesn't work either (an "unauthorized" message show up, which makes little sense). I've opened a bug report with Atlassian about it and am hoping they can either fix this or provide a solution: -861055
If you're on Cloud, the location of the restricted pages space is different from what Srinatha mentioned in the first response. The way to find it is to go to Space Settings and then under "Manage pages" choose "Restricted." This will take you to a page where you can see all the restricted pages as well as who has permissions on them.
However, even with admin credentials you can't freely change restrictions or grant access to new users. I feel like there must be some way for Atlassian admins or people with really deep knowledge of the application to manage this, but as a normal admin it is not possible. The only help this solution actually provides is that it tells you to whom you need to reach out in order to be granted access. (I believe this is the same on Server and Data Center, though on those platforms there may be an easier way to unrestrict pages using direct database edits.)
You may be alerted to a security incident in the media, such as the discovery of the Heartbleed bug, or your computer could be stolen while you're signed in to GitHub.com. In such cases, changing your password prevents any unintended future access to your account and projects.
Add a passkey to your account to enable a secure, passwordless login. Passkeys are phishing-resistant, and they don't require memorization or active management. For more information, see "About passkeys" and "Managing your passkeys."
Review your SSH keys, deploy keys, and authorized integrations and revoke unauthorized or unfamiliar access in your SSH and Applications settings. For more information, see "Reviewing your SSH keys," "Reviewing your deploy keys," and "Reviewing and revoking authorization of GitHub Apps."
Verify all your email addresses. If an attacker added their email address to your account, it could allow them to force an unintended password reset. For more information, see "Verifying your email address."
Review your account's security log. This provides an overview on various configurations made to your repositories. For example, you can ensure that no private repositories were turned public, or that no repositories were transferred. For more information, see "Reviewing your security log."
