Sharing with Users
Asked by Megan Augustyn:

I imported a wiki site to my wiki Confluence Cloud and I would like to share it with some colleagues. However, after I share, my colleagues still state that they do not have the permissions to view the Wiki site. Any advice?


Answers:
author: Andy Gladstone
body: [@Megan Augustyn](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4574205) do these individuals have user accounts on your Confluence site? If not, you won't be able to share wit them. If yes, there may be a parent page or space permission that is blocking them from seeing nested content.

comments: author: Megan Augustyn
body: How do I know if they have user accounts or set-up user accounts for them if it is not already done? I thought I only had to share the site with them through the Share option at the top of the site.


author: Andy Gladstone
body: [@Megan Augustyn](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4574205) you can search under People to see if they have user accounts. Since you are on the Free plan I am going to assume that they do not. If they don't, since Confluence content is locked to your site, you cannot grant page or space access to external users, with the exception of a Public space - but that means public to the entire world, not just a few select users. I am not sure whether the free plan supports this option either and would need to look into it.

Can I re-use the template created in my personal space in a different space, where I am not an admin
Asked by Lena Krasnova:

I have created a template in my space and want to create a template button on the page, that is in a different space. I couldn't do it? I also couldn't recreate my template in that space as I don't have access. That means my templates are useless.

I could create a page from the template in my space and then move it to that space.

Why are these restrictions? Or maybe I have missed something and using your own templates is possible anywhere.


Answers:
author: Lena Krasnova
body: [@Andy Gladstone](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3498028) Thank you for your answer. Where do I find settings menu -\> Configuration -\> Global Templates and Blueprints.

I can only see either settings under my space, or settings for a particular space. Not sure where to look for global settings?


author: Bastian Stehmann
body: Hi [@Lena Krasnova](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4682040) ,

Welcome to the community.

There are two kinds of templates. Global templates, that can be used in every space and space templates that can be used only in the space it was created in.

So in your personal space, you have the global templates and the templates you created.

In the other space are the global templates and the templates created there.

Creating templates is a matter of permissions, in a space you have to be space administrator. For global templates you must be a confluence administrator.

Creating templates is restricted, so that the users responsible for the space (space administrator) can decide which templates should be available, so that only relevant and correct templates are there.

If there are tons of templates, it confuses the users and no one knows which template to use.

comments: author: Lena Krasnova
body: Thank you very for the clear answer. I will contact the administrator to see if my template could be added.


author: Andy Gladstone
body: Templates are either space specific or global. If you created the template in your personal space, or any space, you won't be able to access it elsewhere.

IN order to create a Global template, you need to access the tool under the settings menu -\> Configuration -\> Global Templates and Blueprints.

You cannot move an already created Space Template into Global Templates.

Not all issues are visible on the project boards.

For example, although there are more than 2 issues in our integration sub-task, there are 2 issues in the done status of the integration board. I can't fix this issue even though we don't have a limit on the number of stats. What should I do to make all the issues appear on the board?

How can I get rid of this big 'check-icon' which is shown in the task report macro?
Asked by Franz Moser:

![TaskReportIcon.JPG](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/174931i8B12F3E409E93CA7/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "TaskReportIcon.JPG")

The problem is, that a table row widens the size. This icon is a gimmic providing few information. Text is sufficient.

Any idea?


Answers:
author: Laura Holton _ACE Rotterdam_
body: Hi [@Franz Moser](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/508868) ?

As far as I'm aware there's no way to hide this icon as it's built into the macro. Silver lining, at least it's a harmless gimmic.

I hope this helps but if you have any other questions just ask away ?

All the best,

Laura

comments: author: Franz Moser
body: Hi Laura, thank your for the answer. Actually I didn't expect another solution. The thing is that many of the resolutions show "big" icons or nice pritty pictures. But our group consists of developers who think in tables, rows and lines. No pretty things around, please. The thing is, that the icons enlarge the rows so the complete table is not shown anymore on page. That's not the idea of an overview. And there is no help in shrinking the size of page-view within the browser.

Once again, thank you very much. Maybe your developers think about this annotation!

Best regards

Franz

I want to give permission to a specific page of confluence.
Asked by ?? ?:

I want to give permission to a specific page of confluence. Specifically, using the REST API, you can specify the PageID of an existing specific page and only the author can update the reference. Other users want to have read permission only, is that possible? If possible, please tell me the API and sample examples that can be realized.


Answers:
author: Kishan Sharma
body: Hi [@?? ?](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4679103)

You can add restrictions to a page via below REST API method -

POST /wiki/rest/api/content/{id}/restriction

You can refer example [here](https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/rest/api-group-content-restrictions/#api-wiki-rest-api-content-id-restriction-post).

SInce you are using Free Confluence Cloud plan, you cannot set permissions and you will need to upgrade your plan. Hope this helps.

comments: author: ?? ?
body: thank you for your answer.  
I referred to the example, but I'm not sure about the specific parameter values.  
Which parameter gives reference / update authority only to the creator?  
Also, the plan has been upgraded.


author: Kishan Sharma
body: By default the creator of the page will have edit access to the page, so the creator can add restrictions to other users and groups as shown in the example. You can give it a try by replacing user group values and see if its working for you.


author: Barnali Putatunda
body: REST API does not have any separate permission. Permission is based on users.  
If you want any page to be restricted for edit by any users other than the author, then put a page restriction \& make it edit restricted.  
![restriction.PNG](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/174930i219D9A7BBB108792/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "restriction.PNG")  

The permission setting will be adhered when using the REST API also.

The page Move command does not work
Asked by Peter Wells:

We are running Confluence 6.13.23 accessed via Edge or Chrome (same problem with both). when I am on a page I can drop down the context menu (... top right corner of the page), and the Move option is visible, but when I click it the dialog does not appear. it sometimes darkens the page as if the overly will pop up, but then returns to normal with no sign of the dialog. Other popups within Confluence all work, just not the move.

I have checked permissions, and tested it in my personal space with all permissions turned on and no restrictions.

I also checked that the browsers had no popup restrictions for the confluence URL

Does anyone have any ideas about how to resolve this, or what the issue may be?

This is being reported by multiple users


Answers:
author: Peter Wells
body: I may have answered my original question. I have worked my way through disabling each add-on, in turn, When I disabled an add-on called TableSharper Plugin, the Move command started working.


author: Sagar
body: Hi [@Peter Wells](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2275208) This issue for the specific spaces only or all the spaces having the same issue? Also does the confluence administrator having the same issue while moving the pages or just the non admin users?

Also, Can you try in the incognito browser window and try to reproduce the same and also inspect the browsers networks call to check if something is blocking the request if all Confluence permissions are good.

comments: author: Peter Wells
body: This happens for all spaces and all users including Administrator. Incognito is blocked by our company settings.

However I did find that if I switch to 'Page Information' from the drop down menu and then select 'Move' I get the dialog.

I suspect that there is some add-on affecting the display when the page is shown

I also see the following console error message when the page is displayed:

batch.js?confluence.table.resizable=true\&healthcheck-resources=true\&highlightactions=true\&hostenabled=true\&locale=en-US:1

Licensing issue
Asked by Park Systems RRD:

We are using jira \& confluence server with 50 users license. With 48 active users and 2 additional users only can be found in confluence. And I've got an error message that I have exceeded the maximum number of users for your license, when I added 1 more user today.

I can find 48 active users on crowd page, but there are mysterious 2 additional users can be found on confluence. One of my predecessor created those 2 additional accounts and he's not here anymore, so I don't have further information. (And those 2 accounts are active, even if I cannot even find them on crowd server.)

**The problem is:**   
1. Even if including those 2 accounts, I still have 50 active users. Then, why I got an error message as below?

2. Should I add mysterious 2 users on crowd server, even if they are working well?

**Here is the error message:**

#### This Confluence installation is not licensed for additional users {#toc-hId--506618781}

You have exceeded the maximum number of users for your license. You will still be able to view content, but in order to create or edit content, you must reduce the number of active users in the installation.

There are two ways to reduce the number of active users:

* Disable users
* Delete users

To disable or delete a user, visit the [Users](http://jdpedia/admin/users/browseusers.action) page then search for their name. After following the appropriate link you can choose the 'Remove' or 'Disable' option.

Thank you in advance!


Answers:
author: Olga Videc
body: Hello [@Park Systems RRD](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1657399)

Those users are in the Confluence internal directory and in the default license group they are considered licensed users, you need to identify who they are and deactivate them if needed.

The default access group is confluence-users.

48 in crowd + 2 in internal you have 50 users.

BR, Olga


author: Laura Holton _ACE Rotterdam_
body: Hi [@Park Systems RRD](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1657399) ?

It might be worth double checking what's in the database. You can run this SQL statement to see all the active accounts:

```
SELECT *
FROM cwd_user
WHERE active = 'T';

```

If one of your predecessor created those 2 additional, mysterious accounts it might be worth getting in touch with a site admin who has the permissions to remove them for you.

Let us know how you get on ?

All the best,

Laura

How to upload the HTML files into confluence
Asked by Dabin Daniel Sundaram:

I have a folder of HTML files, and the total size is \~1GB. I would like to upload these files to internal Wiki page and display them as web pages.


Answers:
author: Brant Schroeder
body: [@Dabin Daniel Sundaram](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4622843)

You can do the following to embed web content into a confluence page.

Import web content {#toc-hId--1207684173}
-----------------------------------------

To embed web content on a page:

* Use the [Widget Connector Macro](https://confluence.atlassian.com/conf64/widget-connector-macro-936511147.html) to display videos, slide shows, twitter chats, documents and more, sourced from other web sites and displayed on your Confluence page.
* Embed an external web page into Confluence with the [HTML Include macro](https://confluence.atlassian.com/conf64/html-include-macro-936511038.html).
* Use HTML code in a page with the [HTML macro](https://confluence.atlassian.com/conf64/html-macro-936511039.html).

Note: The HTML macro is not enabled in all sites. Talk to your Confluence Admin about whether you can use this macro.

You might also consider using an app like the [all in one file importer](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1221333/all-in-one-file-importer-for-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=overview) to just bring the html pages in as confluence pages.

Default sharing settings for pages created from templates
Asked by Jess Norris:

Is there a way to set the **default sharing settings for a page created from a template** to be**"Only specific people can view".**

We have templates we want everyone to be able to use to record private information. Currently, if someone uses the 'Create from template' macro the default sharing settings for the page created is "Everyone can view".

Although we remind people to change the sharing settings to "only specific people can view" they may forget to do this, allowing the sensitive information to be shared with the whole team.

Gaining back useful space

Any of it?

How can I enable codes for creating a table?
Asked by Alex Beamish:

I have a 52 row table that I want to cut and paste into a wiki page, but the format that I'm expecting to work:

\|\| heading1 \|\| heading2 \|\|

\| data \| other data \|

\| 51 more rows \| more data \|

doesn't create a table. I just get the raw characters that I've entered. Is this something that needs to be enabled for our installation?


Answers:
author: Brant Schroeder
body: [@Alex Beamish](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4680958) Welcome to the Atlassian Community

The new Confluence editor doesn't support table markdown unfortunately. It also doesn't support markup. If you look at the roadmap there is a feature request for the wiki markup macro. I would suggest voting for it. Learn more about [the new editor roadmap](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/confluence-cloud-editor-roadmap/). So if you are using the new editor, which most people are, you will not have the markup macro available and tables do not work in markdown.

comments: author: Alex Beamish
body: Well, I'm disappointed that the new editor doesn't support tables. I have to insert a new support schedule for the next year, which means I'm going to be copy and pasting 52 rows times two columns. That's far from ideal.


author: Alex Beamish
body: The link to the feature I'm talking about is <https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-65756> for those following along at home.


author: Alex Beamish
body: So, the good news is that I can still create a table in the new wiki that has the same number of columns as the table in the old wiki, and then I can copy and paste the data into the new table. That's a great workaround until markup's available in the new wiki, and this tip should be included in the documentation.


author: Fabian Lim
body: Hi [@Alex Beamish](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4680958)
