Access levels
Each Confluence account has an access level: Read-only, Read + write, and Full access. Squad refuses any agent action outside that level. You can also narrow or block single agents under Per-agent access.
Read + write is the recommended level. The connect window selects it for you, and you can choose another level.
The Confluence sign-in page asks you to approve full access to your account. This is expected. Squad does not narrow the sign-in. It checks every agent action against the level you chose, and it refuses actions outside that level.
What agents can do at each level
Each level opens with a short summary in plain tasks, then lists every action it adds, grouped by what the action works on. You do not need to name actions. Ask in plain words, and the agent searches for the matching action. Each action shows its name, a one-line description where the Confluence action catalog has one, and its slug. The slug is the ID that agents use when they call the action.Read-only

- Fix: choose a higher level in Manage scope, or change the agent’s row under Per-agent access.
- Cause: the agent is set to No access under Per-agent access, or the account is not connected.
- Fix: open Manage scope and change the agent’s row. If the account is missing, connect it again.
- Cause: your Squad subscription is not active.
- Fix: resubscribe. See Manage your subscription.
- Cause: the sign-in for that account is no longer valid.
