body: Archived spaces are stored in the database the same active pages are stored. The difference is that archived pages are not scanned by the syncrony service so they won't be picked up by searches or available in the list of spaces.

Here's a link that talks about the differences: [https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/archive-a-space-284368719.html](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/archive-a-space-284368719.html?)

body: I told about postgresql base. But now i'm sure that there arent event about tagging people on page.


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: You don't have any access to the database behind Cloud, so I'm a bit stuck on what you're doing.

Even if you did have access to the database, you would be looking at the wrong tables.

Could you explain what you are trying to do instead of how? What do your end users get from what you are trying to do?


author: ????? ????????
body: Okey, lets go again.  

Maybe i chose wrong labels about cloud and confluence-cloud.

Im working with postgresql. I need to get people which are tagged by author or editor in page by @ . Understand?


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Yes, you did mislead us with the labels.

I would use the REST API to get the tags. The database is the worst possible way to try to find that (especially as you'll need to look in many places)

SSO configuration for Confluence
Asked by Venkatraman KM:

Hey Team,

We are now in **Confluence (Server)**plan and we need assistance in configuring the SSO with AD or Okta.

Kindly help us in this.


Answers:
author: Capi [resolution]
body: Hi [@Venkatraman KM](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4116004), If I understand correctly, you have a Confluence Server instance that you want to connect to AD or Okta for doing SSO.

You will need a third party add-on to do this, as there is no native SSO capability for Atlassian products in Server.

You can choose resolution's [SAML SSO for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1212129/saml-single-sign-on-saml-sso-confluence?hosting=datacenter&tab=overview), which is the most installed and has the highest number of reviews in the Marketplace. We have full documentation on how to configure it for most IdPs:

* How to set up SAML SSO for Confluence with AD FS:  
  <https://wiki.resolution.de/doc/saml-sso/latest/confluence/setup-guides-for-saml-sso/microsoft-ad-fs>
* How to set up SAML SSO for Confluence with Okta:

Where Confluence Pages are stored (DB table name)

HI,

Where Confluence Pages are stored ? Confluence Server version.

You can see the storage format for any content in the BODYCONTENT table. To see other details about the page a good starting place is the CONTENT table.

Let me know if there is something else in particular you are searching for.

Could you explain what you are actually trying to achieve here? There is a better way than trying to read the database, and probably more than one better way.

But without knowing what you're trying to do, we can't help you with it.

Running off trying to explain how the database is used as a data store is not that helpful in the long run - you have already run into "it is a lot more complicated than you assumed" and you are quickly going to run into "the relationship info you are looking for is done in the code, not the data"

Spaces List Macro not working properly
Asked by Jakob B_:

Hey Community,

I tried to implement the Spaces List Macro for the first time but i can't get it to work properly.

1. try: In the macro settings I chose "category" as scope of spaces. When published, the macro will show the same 2 spaces no matter which space category is selected in the drop down.
2. try: In the macro settings I chose "(blank)". When published I get a list with the three labels "All", "Favourite" and "Category" but I can't swich the labels, so I've just got a List of all spaces.

Is it a bug or what can I do to get a list of Spaces sorted by Category?

Cheers,

Jakob

Screenshots shrinking to miniscule proportions
Asked by lisa sinclair:

Hi all

Because Confluence won't allow me to insert screenshot images in text, I'm forced to add them on their own.

However, to add to my issues, the screenshot images won't retain a resonable size:

![atlassian-confluence-screenshot scaling issue.jpg](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/113173i571A78CBBF81D9F3/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "atlassian-confluence-screenshot scaling issue.jpg")

The scale looks passable in the editor, but shrinks dramatically in the final product.

Does anyone have an idea how to fix this issue?

Thanks

Creating unique URL's for each Confluence page
Asked by Mattia Fracassini:

Hi everyone!  
Every time we move or rename a page in our confluence space it "breaks" and brings up the attached image.  
We would like to be able to have a page found no matter what the name is and where it's move to.  
We are using version "Powered by [Atlassian Confluence](http://www.atlassian.com/software/confluence) 6.12.4"

![2020-10-07_10-29-35.jpg](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/113169i6FD2DADA49EF8FF3/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "2020-10-07_10-29-35.jpg")


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Confluence has up to four urls for a page.

* If your page name is plain text without punctuation, then you can find it under \<base url\>/display/\<space/\<page name\>. If you rename a page, this url will change
* A page has a unique id, which you will see in the url when you edit the page, or give it a name that cannot be a real url. This id, and hence view/edit urls will not change
* If you look in the page information, you'll also see a "short link". This is based on the id, and hence also will not change
* If you are working inside Confluence, then you should be using the internal page linking, which is not based on urls and works no matter what you do to the page name or location

So, the simple answer is to encourage people to use the second or third options when they publish links externally, and if they want to link to another page inside Confluence, always use the internal page reference.

Note that if you migrate Confluence to another place, only the internal links can be preserved - the change of base url will relocate all external urls.


author: Niranjan
body: Hi [@Mattia Fracassini](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2965188) ,

Do you mean that after renaming a page , you cannot access the link with the old URL (with old page name in URL)? If so, it is an expected behavior. If you do not want to use the same URL, even after page rename, then start using the page ID instead of names.(though not easy to use, that is the only way).

RestSharp page creation issue when double quotes in my body.storage.value
Asked by Patch:

I am using RestSharp for creating pages. Page creation work great when the html body stay simple, without any (") double quotes characters.

This exemple work great for me:

request.AddParameter("application/json", "{\\"type\\": \\"page\\",\\"title\\": \\"TEST\\",\\n " + AncestorString + " \\"space\\": {\\"key\\": \\"" + ConfluenceSpaceKey + "\\" }, \\"body\\": {\\"storage\\": {\\"value\\": \\"**\<h2\>Hello World\</h2\>** \\", \\"representation\\": \\"storage\\" } } }", ParameterType.RequestBody);

As soon I as need to add double quotes characters in the html body:

**\<h2 style =\\"color: Tomato;\\"\> Hello World \</h2\>**

I get this error:

{"statusCode": 500, "message": "", "reason": "Internal Server Error"}

This exemple don't work for me:

request.AddParameter("application/json", "{\\"type\\": \\"page\\",\\"title\\": \\"TEST\\",\\n " + AncestorString + " \\"space\\": {\\"key\\": \\"" + ConfluenceSpaceKey + "\\" }, \\"body\\": {\\"storage\\": {\\"value\\": \\"**\<h2 style =\\"color: Tomato;\\"\> Hello World \</h2\>** \\", \\"representation\\": \\"storage\\" } } }", ParameterType.RequestBody);

Any ideas?

Is there a User Admin Permission named System Administrator and if so, how do I set it for myself?
Asked by Allison Roberts:

I'm set with Administrator priveleges but when I read documentation, there's times when it'll say click here and you'll see such-n-such but I don't see such-n-such -- like I don't have access to it. So I'm wondering if there's a user Administrator Level that's higher than what I currently have. Is there a User System Administrator permission? And if so, how/where do I set it? The project I'm working in has already been set up.


Answers:
author: Mikael Sandberg
body: Yes, you have three levels of global permissions, system admin, Confluence admins and users. Usually you combine system admin and Confluence admin, but they can be separated. Have a look at [Global Permissions Overview](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/global-permissions-overview-138709.html) for the differences. To get system admin permissions you have to be added to the group that have that or be added as an individual user.

How to upload a video (size 125MB) in confluence without changing the configuration size
Asked by Vanisree Valaboju:

Upload a video (size120MB) into confluence, without increasing attachments size in general configuration


Answers:
author: Niranjan
body: Hi [@Vanisree Valaboju](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3832542) ,

You need to increase the allowed attachment size config in confluence or split the video into multiple videos of small size. With that said, confluence is not meant for storing videos. It is a collaborative site and doesn't expect videos to be uploaded. Large sized attachments make it difficult during migration/exporting spaces as it consumes more space.

comments: author: Vanisree Valaboju
body: Thank you [@Niranjan](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/715719) , as I am new to confluence, how can we split the video file?


author: Niranjan
body: Hi [@Vanisree Valaboju](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3832542) - You cannot split videos in confluence and I just recommended it. You may try video editor software to do that. But still confluence is not for storing videos, you may need to prefer sharepoint.


author: Sedera Randria
body: Hi [@Vanisree Valaboju](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3832542)

Maybe you should store your video out of Confluence (SharePoint, Google Drive, Youtube, etc.) and use a link in Confluence. That what I do with large attachments :-)

Does it make sense to you?

comments: author: Vanisree Valaboju
body: Thank you for your response [@Sedera Randria](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1288711) ! we are moving out from google drive and need to migrate all the content into confluence. so the option to use the google drive link does not work in my case.
