Can I use the personal access token directly in an URL?
Asked by QmUser:

Hello guys,

I have the following issue: I have created a personal access token for my account and if I use the REST API and curl I can see that access is granted and I get the json content. I'm new to Confluence and using the REST API and I wonder if the following is possible:

I would like to use my personal access token this way, e.g.:

https:\\\\my-site.atlassian.net\\wiki\\home?user=\<personal access token\>

and that this link will give me access to my personal user page in confluence. Does Confluence offers this type of access using a link?

If not and only thru REST API and curl, how can I navigate to my Wiki/Home page in Confluence?

Any assistance or tips will be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to the community!

To the best of my knowledge, you cannot use the API token to access the normal web interface of Confluence -- it only works with the REST API. And as you probably already know, there is no REST endpoint to retrieve the personalized home page.

You basically have three options here: a) you just try and fetch all the relevant information that's on the home page manually using [search](https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/rest/api-group-search/#api-wiki-rest-api-search-get) with different queries to get things like recently worked on etc. This might be cumbersome, but it's the best and most reliable way to work with the API.

The second approach is a bit more hackish and I would discourage going that route if at all possible. But if you really must: curl is not really different from your browser and you can make it send one or more cookies along. Most web apps -- including Confluence -- use session cookies to keep track of who you are. You can extract that cookie using the dev tools in your browser and use that to authenticate curl commands. Of course, that leaves you with the oh-so-great task of parsing the HTML \& JS that Confluence will through at you. Personally, I prefer the neat JSON I can get from the API.

Finally, the third way involves a tool like [Selenium](https://www.selenium.dev). Selenium allows you to write code to automate a web browser, like a remote control for Chrome. You could write code that tells Selenium to open https:\\\\yoursite.atlassian.net, log in as your user and navigate to the home page. You can then use Selenium to get the info you want from that page. This is slightly less hackish than option two, but still a lot of work.

So, my strong recommendation would be to find a way to find the info you need with the REST API, but there are other options out there.

Hope that helps,  
Oliver

How can I publish pages for public viewing
Asked by Blanca Marie Amada:

Hi,

I am trying to create a knowledge base/pages where our customers/clients can access our published files without them logging in or creating an account.


Answers:
author: Kishan Sharma
body: Hi [@Blanca Marie Amada](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4884601)

Welcome to the Atlassian Community!  

You can enable anonymous access in your space which lets you share the content in it externally with anyone who might need it, inside or outside your organization. You can refer detailed steps in [this documentation](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/make-a-space-public/).   

To learn more about anonymous access, what exactly an anonymous user is, what happens when anonymous users have access to your site, and how to enable it for your site, see [Share your site externally with anonymous access](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/set-up-public-access/).  

Hope this helps.

comments: author: Blanca Marie Amada
body: Thanks, [@Kishan Sharma](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/554991) . This works!

Another concern that I found are the contents. I am integrating my Jira links and details on the page. But, they are not visible on the anonymous access. Is it possible to display them in text format (no links)?


author: Kishan Sharma
body: Great that its working for you. You can try granting 'Browse Projects' permission in your Jira Project for "Anyone" [Allowing anonymous access to your project](https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjiracloud/allowing-anonymous-access-to-your-project-779172888.html) to see if that works.   

This is a common ask from many users, and a suggestion has been raised already with Atlassian - [JIRA Issue Macro should support Anonymous JIRA users](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-41399) which is currently in Gathering Interest status, I would suggest you to vote for it and watch it for further updates.

Is it possible to not notify watchers when adding/removing a file from a space?

Rather than clicking on the blue publish button if you click on the... and select publish without notifying watchers that should achieve your goal.

Blueprints vs Templates
Asked by Laurie Vazquez:

What's the best way to determine if you need a blueprint vs a template (i.e., a go-to-market plan that touches on multiple teams)?


Answers:
author: Elizabeth Barr
body: Hey [@Laurie Vazquez](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4612655) ! This is actually covered here: <https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/pre-format-your-content-with-templates/>

Administrator needs may play a role in the decision to go with blueprints versus templates, but also crucial is that blueprints are templates created by Atlassian or by third-party developers. So, if I'm understanding correctly, you could [create your own template](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/create-a-template-938044962.html) but not your own blueprint.


author: Srinatha T
body: Hi [@Laurie Vazquez](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4612655) ,

Welcome to Atlassian community.

Below is some useful info for you to understand more about templates and blueprints.

Templates in Confluence are essentially pages with pre-populated content.

Blueprints are a few steps beyond that, and provide some powerful features to assist users in easily creating pre-formatted pages in a standardized, guided manner. A few features specific to Blueprints include the following:

* Pages created using specific blueprints are automatically organized into an indexed list for easy access and page overviews.
* Blueprints are tailored precisely to specific use cases, such as team meeting notes, product requirements, and attachment lists, just to name a few.
* Blueprints can be highlighted on the "Create Page" dialog to help encourage their use and standardize page formatting.
* You can customize blueprint templates to make each blueprint do exactly what you need

You can go through the below web page for more info.

Multiple page property reports
Asked by Christian Feise:

Hello everyone,

I want to consolidate Information (a list with description of all risks per project) from multiple Confluence sites in one site using the page properties report. My problem is, that the page properties report only consolidates the first row per table per site. Is there a workaround for this? I have tried using nested tables as recommended elsewhere, but this does not seem to work. Also I have tried to create multiple page property reports per site, so each risk has its own table, but this also does not work.

Edit: I'd like to do this without an add-on.

Does anyone have an idea on how to bypass this? Thank you very much!


Answers:
author: Katerina Kovriga {Stiltsoft}
body: Hi [@Christian Feise](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4658387) ,

I see that you want to accomplish the case without an add-on, but still I can suggest trying our [Table Filter and Charts for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/27447/table-filter-and-charts-for-confluence?tab=overview&hosting=cloud&utm_source=atl_community&utm_medium=answer&utm_campaign=table-filter-traffic-sources&utm_vendorID=1216111) app and its [Table Excerpt/Table Excerpt Include](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/public/TFAC/How+to+use+Table+Excerpt+and+Table+Excerpt+Include+macros?utm_source=atl_community&utm_medium=answer&utm_campaign=table-filter-traffic-sources&utm_vendorID=1216111) macros.

The macros serve as an advanced version of the Page Properties Report macro and allow you to collect multiple-row tables.

What concerns the standard macros, the workaround may be to use one Page Property macro per page (but then you'll get a lot of pages and it may be not very convenient) or you may try the [Excerpt/Excerpt Include](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/insert-the-excerpt-include-macro/) macros (they may help you to list/reuse several tables on the master page).

comments: author: Christian Feise
body: Hi [@Katerina Kovriga {Stiltsoft}](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1464746) ,

thanks for your answer. The suggested Macro with Excerpt/Include is indeed a good alternative and does the job fine. Thank you!

Confluence fails to start after upgrade

comments: author: Hanwi
body: Yes


author: Brant Schroeder
body: [@Hanwi](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4884022) This is usually caused on MS SQL due to a lack of permissions on the account being used by Confluence to access the DB.

Check and make sure that the account has the proper permissions. Here is a guide you can follow: <https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/database-setup-for-sql-server-9258.html>

A quick check individuals do is to set the db-user as a sysadmin for the whole SQL Server. If it starts then you know it is a permission issue. Then you can remove sysadmin and follow the steps above to ensure proper permissions are in place.

Does my whole team have to have license to make updates Trello cards for Trello and Confluence ?
Asked by Wyatt Jankauskas:

I want to make a dashboard using Confluence and Trello macro. Does the whole team have to be licensed (if at all) for both Confluence and Trello in order to make their subteam updates to Trello cards?


Answers:
author: Michael Pryor
body: I guess it depends on what you want them to do in Trello.

Technically if you have less than 10 boards in a team, you do not need to pay for the team (regardless of how many people are on the board).

If you have a paid team, you can add as many people you want individually to the board and if they are only on that one board, then you don't pay any extra for them.

So, I guess there are different ways to possibly create the system you want without paying for your whole team but it may depend on what exactly you need to do and how you want to set it up.

Asked by Susan Bailey:

who can use butler automations and power ups
Asked by Fabian Bader:

Hi there,

we are implementing some automation rules via butler. The question now is, if people with a free account can also be added to those boards and use the implemented automation rules? And the same question for power ups. If a power up is implemented into a board, can users with a free account be added to those boards and also use those power ups?

Thanks for the support


Answers:
author: ManuR
body: Hi [@Fabian Bader](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4134079) ,

Free users will be able to trigger the rules you have enabled on your board as well as use the Power-Ups that are available.

For Butler, they'll be limited though as they can only see 1 card button and 1 board button per board so if you have multiple buttons enabled, they'll only be able to see one.

Joining other people's boards
Asked by Becky Marley:

I have a Trello account, but when colleagues send me a link to join their Boards, I get a message telling me I need to create a trello account to do so - even whilst my logged-in initials are on the same screen as that message! The invite links were sent to the same email address as my account email, so that isn't the problem. Since I already have an account, I can't follow the instructions to create one, and so don't know how to solve this issue. Any ideas?


Answers:
author: Torben_trello
body: Would you mind reaching out to trello.com/contact with the link to the board you have been invited to and a screenshot of what you see when trying to join the board? Our Support team would be happy to take a look.

comments: author: Becky Marley
body: This answer was spectacularly unhelpful. I went to trello.com/contact as you asked. Clicked the "Ask Trello Support" button as it appeared to be the way to do what you said. All it is is a chatbot, which, after I typed out my question again and pasted in the links, simply popped me up a couple of articles which were no use whatsoever. They asked whether the article was helpful at the bottom of them, but only gave a Yes option, not a No one! And when I clicked "still need support" it directed me back to reaching out to the Trello community with no other contact options.

You really might as well have not bothered answering me at all, and i could have saved 10 minutes of work time.

Trello calendars in Outlook for Microsoft 365
Asked by Jonathan Kelly:

Hi Guys

I am (brand) new to Trello and using it very simply at the moment, free version for now.

I have added the Calendar powerup to my board and followed the Trello instructions to sync with Outlook. The Calendar is shown just fine (I can see entries etc), however the calender is now shown in the 'My Calendar' list to the left. It doesn't matter whether I Open Calendar (internet calendar) using the button in the Ribbon above, or right clicking My Calendars, or creating a new group and right clicking that.

This means that I can't rename it, or turn it on and off (if I kill it, then the only way back is to Open Calendar). For now I can leave it on, but would like to name it and have it available when I need it rather than all the time.

Am I doing something wrong? Any assistance helpful.

Thanks


Answers:
author: Torben_trello
body: Hi Jonathan,

As far as I am aware, Calendars that you subscribe to such as the iCal feed ca not be renamed. However these questions would be more suited for our Colleagues at Microsoft.

They would probably be more suited to assist of what could be done within Outlook and what options there are to possibly hide or grouping the Calendars you subscribe to.

How do I separate my teams after they got merged into a single Atlassian profile?
Asked by Sek-Mun Wong:

I had multiple teams (say organisations, companies) that were attached to my trello login.

I have one account that uses Atlassian suite, and is Google SSO integrated.

When I migrated to Atlassian sign-on, it seems to have moved all of the other organisations into the single profile.

The problem is that if I ever leave that main Atlassian SSO account, will I also lose the other teams attached to that login (I feel so)

Therefore: How can I "detach" those teams from the Atlassian profile?


Answers:
author: ManuR
body: Hi [@Sek-Mun Wong](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/986768) ,

It looks like your Trello account was linked to your Atlassian SSO account when you migrated so indeed, if you lose access to that SSO account, you won't be able to access your Trello account either since they are linked.

What you could do is create a new Trello account with your personal email address and invite that new account to your current teams and boards as admin so even if you lose access to the Atlassian SSO account, you'll still be able to access your Trello data with your personal account (which will also be linked to its own Atlassian account).
