you can change the bar color and other elements by going to "Color Scheme" in the General Configuration menu, as described [here](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/customizing-color-schemes-135906.html).

Let me know if it helps,

You could edit the page layout decorator under Confluence Admin -\> Layouts to add in the macros to have it show on each page automatically. I have used ConfiForms extensively and I know it can do this, but I'm sure the other plugins could also do something like this as well.

How I get back the system administrator function as the original administrator already left the com?
Asked by Lam, Hing??:

As title. How can I get back the system administrator rights from Jira and Confluence.


Answers:
author: Andy Heinzer
body: For confluence, I would recommend following this guide: [Restore Passwords To Recover Admin User Rights](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/restore-passwords-to-recover-admin-user-rights-158390.html) It explains how you can use a recovery mode in order to gain system admin access again.

If you are having the same problem with Jira, then please follow the steps in [Retrieving the JIRA Administrator](https://confluence.atlassian.com/jira/retrieving-the-jira-administrator-192836.html) The approach for Jira is slightly different and will have you run specific SQL commands in order to help you gain access again.


author: Yogesh Mude
body: HI [@Lam, Hing??](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1732536)

Welcome to the community!

To get back the System Admin rights you need to contact your current Administrator.

He/She will only can provide you the admin rights.

Self installed plugin details won?t show after click on expand button
Asked by Robin Taylor:

Hi!

I installed the Git Viewer plugin in my self-hosted Confluence instance minutes ago by uploading it with the "Upload Add-on" functionality. My Confluence version 6.10.1 won?t show the plugin details when I click on the expand Button. The Free Trial button is malfunctioning too. There is no way to enter my license key that I bought through the marketplace.

How to restrict the screen resolution of confluence pages depending upon the user screen resolution?
Asked by Vishnu Rajkumar:

Hi,

I am creating some confluence pages on my PC and when I open the same in my Laptop the screen size gets changed and as a result the alignment and width of texts as well as images changes and it looks terrible. Can there is any way to fix the screen resolution and it won't get irrespective of the users screen size?

Much appreciated if some one can help me on this.

Regards,

Vishnu


Answers:
author: Zak Laughton
body: Hi Vishnu!

The content on a page is typically responsive to the window size, but there are a number of different ways the content could be organized and configured that may be causing issues with the responsiveness. To get a better understanding, could you provide a screenshot of a page on your PC where it appears correctly and on your laptop where it appears incorrectly?  

(As a side note, be sure to set the image sizes to "original" for them to be responsive to different window sizes. For more details, see the following bug ticket: [CONFSERVER-56062](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-56062).)

Thanks!

Problems with automatic numeration in Confluence

How i will be able to format a text on a conluence site to get the following numeration:

Answers:
author: Robert Reiner _smartics_
body: If I understand your use case correctly you are looking for a way to format your lists according to your formatting requirements.

I suppose you could solve this by adding styles to your style sheet:

* See <https://www.w3.org/TR/CSS22/generate.html#list-style> for style options with CSS
* Here is information about how to apply styles with Confluence: [Styling Confluence with CSS](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/styling-confluence-with-css-166528400.html)

How do I see the number of users in a group?
Asked by Sandra Meessen:

Hello, I want to clean up my groups in Confluence. How do I see the number of users in the groups without having to select them one by one? Thanks


Answers:
author: Danyal Iqbal
body: I am not aware of any way to obtain this info from the front end. However, you can query the database directly e.g for users in crowd directory --select /count (\*) /distinct from `CWD\_MEMBERSHIP where GROUP_NAME= <> and check the groups from CWD\_GROUP would be a nice place to start.`


author: Richard Cross
body: If using Atlassian Crowd as the backend auth server, you can find the number of users in a group with the following Crowd REST API call:

```
curl -s -n \
  -H "Accept: application/json" \
  'https://mycrowd.server/crowd/rest/usermanagement/1/group/user/direct?groupname=my-test-group&max-results=10000' |?jq -r '.users[].name' | wc -l
```

If the result comes out at exactly the same as max-results, increase max-results until it doesn't.


author: Richard Cross
body: An alternative method is to use the Confluence REST API with jq, for example:

```
curl -s -n \
  -H "Accept: application/json" \
  'https://myconfluence.server/rest/api/group/nexus-users/member'| jq -r .size
```

However... there is a limit of 200 results by default, so for groups with more than 200 users, you will need something a little more elaborate that uses the pagination feature.

Here's a shell script I knocked together that copes with groups containing any number of users:

```
#!/usr/bin/env bash

groupname=$1
total=0
result=$(curl -s -n \
  -H "Accept: application/json" \
  "https://myconfluence.server/rest/api/group/${groupname}/member")
size=$(echo $result | jq -r '.size')
total=$((total+$size))
next_set=$(echo $result | jq -r ._links.next)
base=$(echo $result | jq -r ._links.base)

while [[ $next_set != "null" ]]
do
  result=$(curl -s -n -H "Accept: application/json" "${base}${next_set}")
  size=$(echo $result | jq -r '.size')
  total=$((total+$size))
  echo running total: $total # this is optional
  next_set=$(echo $result | jq -r ._links.next)
done

echo Total members in $groupname is: $total
```

which when called, looks something like this:

```
? ./count_group_members.sh my-test-group
running total: 400
running total: 600
running total: 800
running total: 1000
Total members in my-test-group is: 1008
```

Answers:
author: Danyal Iqbal
body: It is not possible to do this by default. You can restrict users who have access to this page but there is no read-only falg as far as I know. However, you can disable editing from google docs. If you are using 'file \> publish to web...' in Google Docs, people won't be able to edit your document anyway. [Docs Help](https://support.google.com/docs/answer/37579?hl=en) (see 'How published files look when you share them'). see example <https://codepen.io/anon/pen/JNaLJL>

"The editor didn't load this time" error when trying to edit a page
Asked by Miso Kim:

Hello, Users.

My company use Confluence server for work, I use it almost everyday until last friday.

From last friday, when I edit or upload some page, Confluence throws Error message

**"The editor didn't load this time.
The connection timed out. If it happens again, speak to your Confluence admin. You may be using a proxy server that prevents WebSocket connections.**"

But this situation occur only my PC.

I try other PC to edit page, it successfully updated.

I usually use Firefox, but try at IE, Chrome. Same error popup.

What should I do?


Answers:
author: Shankar Asam {Appfire}
body: Hi Miso,

If this is an error related to a single user (like you), then try using different browsers and test it. If you've already done that, try clearing cache and cookies in your browsers and verify the same. You could also try checking this issue from different locations just to see if its a network issue (home / office). Try checking to see if you have any firewall / anitvirus software blocking access to the site. The following URL might helpful as well.

If you are unable to find a way to add "trusted URLs", would you try to disable the anti virus temporarily and check the status of the issue. I believe this is causing the issue.

Is it possible to restrict confluence access to JIRA users without providing them confluence license
Asked by David Fernandes:

Is it possible to restrict confluence access to JIRA users without providing them confluence license and making the space accessible to anonymous users i.e. Publicly accessible

I want to give my JIRA users, read access to confluence pages.

If I make it accessible to anonymous user, it is accessible to public.

Is it possible that I can restrict the confluence space access to my JIRA Users without making it publicly accessible and providing them confluence licenses.


Answers:
author: donjoe
body: [@David Fernandes](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/819284)

If I have understood your question rightly, that is, you want to give access to Confluence to only your Jira users and not to the general public, there is one way I could think of...

In User Management, go to Product Access \> View Configuration (found in menu in top right corner of the Product Access page).

In this page, click on "Add Group" and add the default "jira-users" group to the list of groups of users granted access. I am assuming that you would have another group already which would be the "confluence-administrators" group.

Now, whenever you add a new user and grant him/her access to jira *as a "jira-user",*they will also have access to Confluence.

Do let me know if this works...

But of course, you wouldn't be able to give them access AND not give them the license, unless you make it public.

Don


author: Moses Thomas
body: [@David Fernandes](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/819284)No, either you make it anonymous or give them license to be able to access confluence.

I have not added any docs to that particular space and tried all the available options under it. We have a option of renaming the pages under the document to be unique, But want to know if there is any option we can avoid it.

Hi Team,

I have created a page on the Confluence space where i have added, two column section with right side bar. I have added panels on the right side bar and added column macros and added few images to give the look of tiles. It all looks good.

Can we make the page responsive? any custom code that i can add to make it responsive. If yes please advise how to do so.

Thanks heaps for your help in advance.

Trying to create Retro example - Confluence Software Team's Guide to Confluence
Asked by Andy:

I am trying to copy page 51 of the Atlassian Confluence guide entitled - Software Team's Guide to Confluence. The problem is that i was getting CSS error and the wiki page didnt display the panel at all. I created a panel then tried to put children panels inside the parent. Can anyone tell me step by step how to re-create the retro example in this document?


Answers:
author: Zak Laughton
body: Hi Andrew!

I understand you are receiving CSS errors when you try to recreate the panels as described on page 51 of the [Software Team's Guide to Confluence](https://3kllhk1ibq34qk6sp3bhtox1-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/software-teams-guide-to-confluence.pdf).

While it's possible to put panels within other panels, this is different from what is pictured in the eBook. The example uses [page layouts](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/page-layouts-columns-and-sections-275188613.html) to create separate sections, then places the panel macro in those sections, as described on page 50.

As for the CSS error, I'd like to know more details about the error you're seeing to get a better idea of what might be causing it:

* What does the error say?
* Where are you seeing it? (e.g. on the published page? in the editor? in the macro dialogue? if possible, a screenshot of the error will be helpful)
* What fields do you have filled in for the panel macro, and what values are you using? (e.g. "Border Color: #F0F5FF")

Thanks!

author: Andy
body: I tried to do that page 50 example again. I created a frame by clicking add clicking layout and add section. Within the area I added a section and split it in two using the lay out icons. In each area I put a panel. So I have a frame split in tow with a panel in each of the sections. The problem is that the sections are looking close to each other in the edit view but when I publish they are very far apart. Does anyone have any ideas to get them to look closer to the example on page 50 of the software team guide to confluence? This time I have no errors.


author: Zak Laughton
body: Glad to hear you're not seeing the errors any more. I just tried the steps you described, but couldn't reproduce the behavior. When I create a page layout section and add a panel to each one, they appear side-by-side with a small gap as they do in the pdf example:

![Screen Shot 2018-08-03 at 2.57.31 PM.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/28643i19BD87589DDB5CCC/image-dimensions/351x40?v=v2 "Screen Shot 2018-08-03 at 2.57.31 PM.png")

    <script type="text/javascript">AJS.bind('init.rte', function() {  AJS.$('#notifyWatchers').attr('checked', false);});</script>

But this is for EDIT. If someone watches the space, they may be notified when page is created.

comments: author: Jason van Heerden
body: hi Tansu

So this is when I create new pages?


author: Jason van Heerden
body: Thanks Tansu, but this did not work for me.

The request was for a specific user in our environment and they wanted this option for thier specific space and pages, so when they create a new space or page,they want the watcher turned off for the new space or page, we do not want this set as a global option for all users.

So we tested this in our lab, when creating a new space and page and it did not work, the watcher is still turned on.
