body: SSO functionality can be provided at different layers. Most Confluence users that use the tool either use Crowd SSO or an add-on.

* **Crowd** is ++middleware++ and would connect all applications to a single directory
* Add-ons allow you to terminate Kerberos, SAML, and other forms of SSO

Confluence user has access to page, but gets "not permitted" when clicking link to attachment
Asked by Dave Thomas:

We have a user who can access a certain page just fine, but when they click on a link contained on that page that points to one of the page's attachments, she gets a screen with the message "Not permitted".

As I understand it, there are no separate permissions for attachments in Confluence so I'm a bit puzzled by this behavior. This is confluence 5.2.5.


Answers:
author: Jonathan Holmes
body: Dave,

Did you ever find out the cause of this? Having exactly the same issue with another user and can't figure out why!

Thanks,

Jonathan


author: Dave Thomas
body: Thanks for the suggestion, but I checked that already. I even opened the attachments screen for the page and copied the link into an email and asked them to click it, just to be sure. They definitely have access to the page but Confluence refuses to serve them this attachment. Other users don't have a problem, so there's something unique about this user.


author: Rodney Hughes
body: You've probably checked ... but are you sure the link is to an attachment on THAT page?

If it is a link to an attachment on another page that they don't have access to, then it won't be permitted.

This error sometimes happens when links are copied from one page to another.
How to call the Copy pagetree built-in scripts (Confluence Script runner)
Asked by Koen Gillard (CalmWare):

Dear

I'd like to call the built-in [Copy Pagetree script](https://scriptrunner.adaptavist.com/4.3.4/confluence/builtin-scripts.html#_copy_page_tree) from within an existing Custom REST Endpoint.

Is this or any other interaction with the built-in scripts documented somewhere?

Like, what's the location of the script, what are the (required) arguments etc

Thanks in advance

Kind regards

Koen Gillard


Answers:

body: In order to tests where found when running them from Idea, package with your tests should be specified in Scriptrunner UI


author: Volodymyr Havryliuk
body: Hello, Koen Gillard. Did you find answers for your questions?


author: Jonny Carter
body: The class is com.onresolve.scriptrunner.canned.confluence.admin.CopyTree. You can find it in the plugin jar (after unzipping it) under com/onresolve/scriptrunner/canned/confluence/admin/CopyTree.groovy.

There are some notes in the JIRA documentation about [calling built-in scripts remotely via REST calls](https://scriptrunner.adaptavist.com/latest/jira/builtin-scripts.html#_executing_built_in_scripts_remotely) and [hacking together your own "canned" script](https://scriptrunner.adaptavist.com/latest/jira/builtin-scripts.html#_executing_built_in_scripts_remotely). The same concepts should roughly translate to Confluence.

Live Search Macro query parameters
Asked by Christian Kretzschmar:

Hi guys,

the Confluence Live Search Macro can be configured with different parameters e.g. space or labels. But those parameters only affect the search when typing a search term.

If the search form is submitted the parameters won't be part of the search action request. Currently, we use small JavaScript snippets to change the request and append the macro parameters to it.

Are there any plans to change the behavior of the Live Search Macro and add its parameters to the request when submitting the search form?

Regards,

Christian


Answers:
author: Giles B
body: Hi Christian,

Sounds like a good idea. If you'd like to make a suggestion re the functionality of the Livesearch macro, the best place to do it is through our [public JIRA instance](https://jira.atlassian.com/projects/CONF/). That way it'll be triaged so the right people can look at it.

Just log in, hit **Create** , and choose **Suggestion**.

Is the 5 user free license for ever or limited in time
Asked by Bart Gebruers:

I signed up for the 5 user license for both JIRA and Confluence in the cloud and can't access my account anymore. It doesn't recognize the password, so when I enter my username and say that I forgot my password, it says it sent me an email but nothing happened.

I was wondering if my 5 users free license has expired?

Thx

Bart


Answers:
author: Steven F Behnke
body: There are no free tiers for JIRA Cloud and Confluence Cloud. The cheapest option is $10/mo for JIRA Cloud and $10/mo for Confluence Cloud.

If you host yourself, for $10 you own the software and all versions related until you stop paying for maintenance. That means if you stop paying maintenance and JIRA 7.5 is out, you can use JIRA 7.5 indefinitely, but not JIRA 7.6.

What are the Storage and Page limits for Confluence Free Tier (up to 5 users)?
Asked by Sirach Vassallo:

*This question is in reference to Atlassian Documentation: [Atlassian Cloud storage policy](https://confluence.atlassian.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=744721619)*

What are the Storage and Page limits for Confluence Free Tier (up to 5 users)?


Answers:
author: Machadinho
body: Hi Sirach,

First, I would like to thank you for use the Atlassian Answers.

None of the Atlassian products have Page or Spaces restrictions (in numbers).

As you can see [in this page](https://www.atlassian.com/licensing/purchase-licensing#evaluations-1), Atlassian offers fully functional evaluations of Cloud products for a period of 7 days (can be extended to a maximum of 14 days), so you'll have the same limits described in [Atlassian Cloud storage policy](https://confluence.atlassian.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=744721619).

If instead your question is about the Server distribution of Confluence (witch means locally), the only storage limitations are those imposed by your own hardware (see [Confluence server requirements](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/server-hardware-requirements-guide-30736403.html)for detailed information).

In case of having any specific questions on the licensing and storage details or if you need further help to install Atlassian products, please, let us know right here, or rise an issue at [support.atlassian.com](http://support.atlassian.com).

Regards,  
Lucas.

How can I restrict access to a whole page but not excerpts?
Asked by Craig Day:

We are wanting to have a page dedicated to a product. On that page there will be information that we want to pull to our public facing product landing pages. But some information we do not want the public to see.

I have set up the Visibility and Multiexcerpt add-ons but the issue is that I still have to have the page itself viewable to anonymous. But I don't want anonymous access to the whole page.

Any ideas or other add-ons that can remedy this?


Answers:
author: Bill Bailey
body: Try this workaround. Add a page at root (so it doesn't appear in the left-hand ToC) and set its visibility to allow anonymous view (yes the page can be viewed, but when it is at doc root level, they would have to know where it is).

Place all your excerpts on the special page. Include the excerpts on both the internal and public pages. Now your content is visible on both, *and* you get around the permissions issue. Also having a standard _includes page can make it easier to manage lots of common content.

Page properties report not sorting by date
Asked by Josh Snelling:

We're using Confluence Server v5.8.4. I'm using the Page Properties Report macro to aggregate info about various projects. Within the data, there's a column named "Target release". I've set the Page Properties Report macro to sort by this column, but it's not working correctly. The content of the column is a string representing a date formatted using the "yyyy-MM-dd" format.

When I first load the page, the column is sorted like this:

<br />

After clicking the column header to manually sort the column, it sorts it correctly:

<br />

The strange thing is, if I were to start with only a couple pages to pull the report from, it seems to work, but as I add more pages the sorting stops working. I can't tell if the issue is somehow related to the content on the pages outside of the Page Properties macro, but it somewhat seems like it is.

Am I missing something about how this macro and sorting should work?
