Summary

Some customers may want to prevent Move or Copy options for pages, but there is no separate permission to disable those specific functions.  

Environment

Confluence 7.x, 8.x

Solution

As a workaround, we can hide the Move and Copy menus with below Javascript in General Configuration > Custom HTML, and the end of BODY section:

<script type='text/javascript'> 
AJS.toInit(function(){
  if (! AJS.params.isConfluenceAdmin) {
    AJS.$('#action-copy-page-link').hide();
    AJS.$('#action-move-page-dialog-link').hide();
 }
});
</script>

The above code hides those menus for all the users except for Confluence Administrators.  The changes will be applied immediately!
