Scroll Viewport reaches end of life on September 30, 2026.
Updating Viewport sites is no longer possible - the Update site option has been disabled. To keep making changes to your documentation, upgrade your sites to Scroll Sites. Your live sites keep running in the meantime.
The following will explain which users can use Scroll Viewport for Confluence and how this can be configured.
Default Permissions
After installing Scroll Viewport for Confluence, only users that are part of the default group administrators can use the Scroll Viewport functions.
You can extend these default permission by adding a new group: scroll-viewport-admins.
The following table shows all Confluence user groups that have permissions to use the app:
|
Confluence user group |
Permissions |
|---|---|
|
Confluence administrators |
Full control:
|
|
Members of the group scroll-viewport-admins |
Extend Scroll Viewport Permissions Beyond Admins
To extend permission to use the app to users that are not Confluence administrators create a new group with the name scroll-viewport-admins and add users to it:
-
Go to your Confluence Cloud user groups configuration
-
Create the user group scroll-viewport-admins
-
Add the users to the group
All users within the user group scroll-viewport-admins have full control over the Scroll Viewport Cloud app. This means they are able to create a site, edit the theme, update the live site, or add/remove content sources to the site.
Still Can’t See the App?
If you still can not see the app after following the above instructions, there might be something wrong in the installation of the app. Please check out Cannot See Viewport in the Apps Menu for troubleshooting instructions.
