Resolution

You will need space administrator access to resolve this issue for your users. 

  1. Go to Space Settings > click General under Space Permissions.

  2. Under the Licensed Users section, check if the user is added as part of Groups or Individual Users

  3. Ensure that the user has the "Add" permission for Pages. In this example, users that are a part of the "confluence-users-site" do not have the "Add" permission.
