Confluence cloud: list up in which spaces a certain group is used for to grant permissions
Asked by Kristj?n Geir Mathiesen:

Hi all

We are about to off-board some groups and I need to find out if these groups are used to grant permission to any spaces in Confluence.

What is a good way to find out (apart from iterating through all the spaces manually)?

Thanks,  
KGM


Answers:
author: Kristj?n Geir Mathiesen
body: I ended up contacting Atlassian Support and go help :)

comments: author: Christian Mentor
body: Glad that worked out --- was there a solution you could do yourself or would we need to contact them each time we want to audit space permissions in bulk?


author: Jurgen Tyvaert
body: Hi Kristjan, can you share the solution of the Atlassian Support? I struggle with the same question.


author: BHUSHAN PATIL
body: Hi [@Kristj?n Geir Mathiesen](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1909016) ,

For determining which groups have permissions in various spaces can be achieved through the **Space Permissions overview** or **Global Permissions Overview.**

1. Go to Space Settings:  
   Navigate to the space for which you want to check group permissions.  
   Click on "Space Settings".
2. Access Permissions:  
   In the Space Settings, click on "Space Permissions".
3. View Group Permissions:  
   Look for the groups within the space's permissions.  
   Check the groups listed under various permission categories.
4. Repeat for Multiple Spaces:  
   Repeat this process for each space to identify if the off-boarding groups have permissions in any of the spaces.

**Global Permissions Overview**

* Global Permissions:
* Go to Confluence settings
* Access "Global Permissions."  
  Check Group Permissions: Review group permissions across various global settings to identify any instances where the off-boarding groups have specific global permissions.

Regards,  
Bhushan

comments: author: Kristj?n Geir Mathiesen
body: Thank you, [@BHUSHAN PATIL](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5097891) I have already gone over the Global Permissions.

I was hoping I would not have to go into each single Space and manually view the permissions, that there was a better way to do this. Like exporting all the Space Permissions to csv and then being able to ctrl-F look for the groups that way.

Thanks, KGM

How to use "Update ConfiForms Field value by filter" API
Asked by Denver Thomas:

/rest/confiforms/1.0/updateFieldValue/{pageId}/{formName}

/rest/confiforms/1.0/updateFieldValue/{pageId}/{formName}/{filter}  

Can I get an example of how to use this?  

It all seems straightforward enough, but where do I actually define the field I want to update and what I want to update it with?

What I've tried:  
confiforms/1.0/updateFieldValue/{pageId}/{formName}\&fv=sendemail:1


Answers:
author: Alex Medved _ConfiForms_
body: Hi [@Denver Thomas](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5339478)

You will need to put your form name instead of {formName} and page id (numeric) instead of {pageId}

Alex

comments: author: Denver Thomas
body: Thanks for getting back to me, Alex  

Right, right (I've got those variables defined elsewhere in my code),  

I'm just not sure how to format the,  

\&fv=sendemail:1  

part at the end


author: Alex Medved _ConfiForms_
body: /rest/confiforms/1.0/updateFieldValue/{pageId}/{formName}/{filter}?fv=sendemail:1

Will update the form's sendemail field matching the given filter with 1

Add data from Confluence page to custom field in jira issue on create.
Asked by Wade H:

Has anyone been able to add specific data from a confluence page to a custom Jira field when using automation to create a Jira issue? Not sure if it is possible yet out of the box with the automation.   

For instance: I have a page with headers and under headers there is a paragraph of data. If I could somehow tag that specific data and then use a smart value to populate a field in Jira when running automation to create the Jira issue it would be a big help.

Extract All information
Asked by John Straumann:

Hi all:

I am working with a customer who has a ton of data stored in an old on-prem Confluence instance which displays the data in web pages, and they want to get all the information out. So they were asking about using an RPA Bot to click through the web site and extract the information from each page, page-by-page, which to me seems a bit tricky, so I am wondering if there is a better way.

I thought pulling info directly out of the confluence database might be an option, it seems to be a proprietary DB, but the customer said they are a bit worried about pulling info out of the database because "things have been done on some of the pages that pulls information from other sources and they are concerned it might not be clearly mapped in the DB"  
Thanks for any ideas.  
John.

Automation workflow for inactive page
Asked by sshakya:

I am using Inactive page notification from Confluence that helps us keep content up to date. But users have been complaining about this and asking for few improvements. I wanted to know if below requirements are possible

- Send summary email of all the pages that's expiring, not a single email per page.

- Customize the notification so that there is more info in the email.


Answers:
author: Brant Schroeder
body: [@sshakya](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5239010) if you are using Confluence automation for this I do not know of a way to compile a list of pages but you can customize the notification. If you are using better content arching then you would have to contact their support and see if that is something you can do on cloud.


author: Levente Szabo _Midori_
body: [@sshakya](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5239010) What you mention are known limitations to A4C, and this is why it's not a viable tool for Confluence content lifecycle management. Notably, you can't customize what is considered "inactive", you will get as many emails as many pages you report, and branch rule execution cuts off at 150 pages. Meaning that if you ever need to report more than 150 pages, some people would never get an email.

[Better Content Archiving](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/123/better-content-archiving-for-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=overview&utm_campaign=gh&utm_medium=cac-comment-2551126&utm_source=cac) brings a flexible, automated notification mechanism that covers your pain points:

2. It sends page lists, not individual emails
3. You can send different emails for different purposes (expired pages, not viewed pages, archivable pages, etc)
4. You can customize the content of emails
5. You can select different recipients for your emails
6. You can even recreate and fix the [Confluence daily digest email](https://www.midori-global.com/blog/2024/01/24/confluence-daily-digest-email?utm_campaign=gh&utm_medium=cac-comment-2551126&utm_source=cac) experience

Safe to Uninstall Hipcheck Plugins?
Asked by Jonny Polivka:

Hello:

Recently upgraded our Confluence instances to 8.5.3 LTS and noticed a few Hipchat errors in the logs . Investing this discovered Hipchat was discontinued in 2019 so the question is, can all the Hipchat apps be uninstalled? The four apps are...

* Atlassian Hipchat Integration Plugin Core

* Confluence Hipchat Integration Plugin

* Confluence HipChat Plugin

Confluence Approval workflow
Asked by Freek Otsen:

In the 'old' Confluence environment we established an approval workflow but since Confluence has been migrated to Atlassian, this workflow is missing.

How can we get it back?

The proces was described as follows:

For most use cases you must use a marketplace addon. We make [Document Control for Confluence Cloud](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1217765/document-control-for-confluence-cloud) (free trial), and you can try different apps and see which one fits into your workflow and compliance requirements.

I Hate the new "converted page" look, How do I convert a page BACK?
Asked by assaf.haydu:

Why is the converted page centered out of the blue? It looks awful, especially when i have a mix of converted and non-converted pages (which are centered to the left, as they should)

Answers:
author: Clark Everson
body: Hi [@assaf.haydu](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5378890)

Welcome to community.

In regards to the changes, generally with cloud products (not just atlassian but overall, both personal and professional), even if you can currently go back I would recommend getting used to the new layout. At some point in time those changes to go back are fully removed and users have to use the new layout.

In regards of going back, without knowing your level of confluence, generally delays for layout changes are only reserved for Enterprise customers. So if you are an enterprise customer you maybe able to work with your admin team to hold off on the change. But if not the option may not exist.

Best,

Clark

There are a few ways that you can achieve this:

1. Here's an article on how to use the Office Excel Macro to get table data into Confluence: <https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/office-excel-macro-375849173.html>

2. You can also look into apps likeTable Filter and Charts for Confluence, which embed a table into Confluence with a CSV.

3. Lastly, spreadsheets that are designed to sync with Jira, like Visor, also provide an embed code.

Send custom email using scriptrunner to access Dashboard

Hi Community,

I have created a custom email template in post function Send custom email using scriptrunner.

In Condition section, I want to pass a condition that the custom email should only go to Reporter of the current issue. Need help how to write the correct condition regarding Reporter.

In Email Template, I want to pass a url where user can directly land on Issue Edit screen (/secure/editissue!default.jspa?id=${issue.id} and he can also access his own Dashboard (secure/Dashboard.jspa?selectPageId=XXXXX

I am able to fetch ${issue.id} for Issue Edit screen which automatically reflects the value once the issue is created.

I am facing difficulties to pass dynamic dashboard.jspa?selectPageId= in custom email.
