You can control which kind of user has access to a site. Note that Atlassian permissions still apply to all Atlassian content on your site.Site access permissions let you control who can visit your site.

All types of permissions are closely related and may impact each other. For example, a user who doesn’t have site access won’t have access to a Refined Page that’s set to be seen by “anyone”.
