Multiple Site Pages libraries to have different permissions when creating modern site pages

Question

We want to build a wiki-like site for our company where the info will be added inside modern pages, and we need each department to manage its own modern pages. To do so i added different document libraries then i added custom content types which inherit from the built-in Site Pages content type.

but this did not work, for example inside the HR Document library, i want to create a new modern page >>but when i click on "HR Site Page" content type which has the "Site Pages" content type as its parent:-

I will be redistricted to a blank page, as follow:-

so not sure how we can have multiple site pages libraries to store modern pages? since we want each library to have different permission settings (mainly different set of permissions for each department)?

Thanks

Hello,What is the reason to have all the pages within the same site?&nbsp;Could you not have different sites so that different department handles their sites?Then you could collect all the pages from the different sites and show it on a web part? :)&nbsp;Example:HR Site,HR EditorsAll company viewersIT Site,IT EditorsAll company viewersFinance site,Finance Editors,All company viewersWiki-site&nbsp;A web part showing the pages from the three sites above.&nbsp;Yours sincerely,Aref HalmstrandPlease mark as resolved if this was helpful 🙂

Thanks for your reply . Yes this is another approach, but i were thinking if i can do this inside the same site, since currently each department has only 20-30 articles they need to publish. so returning back to my original question, can not we have multiple site pages inside the same site?

Thanks

Use seperate communication sites, as these will be tagged (the blue highlighted):

This is best practice and easier for the users to understand.

Thanks for the reply @Nicolasekheirallah ,, yes i know i can do it inside different sites, but my question if i can do it inside different libraries under the same site, as i mentioned in my previous reply ,, each department have around 20-30 articles only ..thanks.. maybe in the future we will migrate those to separate sites, but for now i prefer to do them inside the same site.

No, content types in Pages don't work in that way as you've seen
