Change local confluence username using curl
Asked by Joe Budzowski:

Confluence CLI plugin cannot change a local account username which CAN be done with JIRA CLI.

Has anybody used CURL to change a local Confluence account username?

Both Jira CLI and Confluence CLI have the ability to change a user name with the "UpdateUser" action: <https://bobswift.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CSOAP/pages/1066778517/updateUser>

Feel free to reach out if you have any further questions.

Cheers,

author: Amelie Winkler _Appfire_
body: Hi [@Joe Budzowski](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4526255) I see, you need to rename the user ID. Yes, you're right. Unfortunately, there are no appropriate REST APIs that allow us to provide this capability this time.

I'm sorry I don't have better news at the moment!

Export Pages to Excel files
Asked by Steven Sgarlata:

Is there a way to export a page or page fields to excel? I am looking to house product information on Confluence but need the functionality to pull product details to be used in a design tool. Excel would be the preferred file type to export and use in the excel based design tool.

There isn't a native/out of the box solution to export tables or pages directly to excel. You could always copy/paste them of course, which works fine if I recall correct. However, if you have many tables and many pages with tables, this solution isn't good enough. If your case is the latter, then a use of an app is a must.


author: Fabio Racobaldo _Herzum_
body: Hi [@Steven Sgarlata](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5032170) ,

you can export tables in your pages using approach suggested by [@Peter DeWitt](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/356173) but you can't export the whole page in excel.

Why would Space group permissions not work?
Asked by Jack Kelly:

We have a Confluence server instance where our division in our organization has full access. We have SSO enabled and we utilize our org LDAP to easily pull user and group information. On occasion we have a need to give someone outside of our division permission to access one Space in our Confluence instance. To prevent those people from seeing all of our Confluence content, we simply do not add them to the confluence-users group. Instead we assign those individuals to have permissions in the desired space only; after they use SSO to log in for the first time, then I can select them as individuals in the Space permissions. This has been working great.

Recently I needed to add a couple of people outside of our department to only see one space. Those people were all in a group that is read from our LDAP instance. To save time I decided to use the group appearing in Confluence to assign permission to the space. But the people could not access the space. Space permissions only worked when they were added individually.

Has anyone else run into issues with Space group permissions not working?

Does anyone know if group permissions only work for users who are also in the confluence-users group? I've never had trouble using the group permissions for anyone within our division when using groups associated with teams in our division (who are in the confluence-users group).

Thanks,

Jack


Answers:
author: Trudy Claspill
body: Did you grant that new group the "Can use" permission in the Global Permissions?

```
https://<yourURL>/admin/permissions/globalpermissions.action
```

I believe you need that to grant access based on a group.

comments: author: Jack Kelly
body: Hi Trudy,

Thanks but this is not the problem. We have a group, say org-can-use, that is used to provide "can use" permissions. This group is what every non-department person is added to. And they can all successfully log in.

The problem is that I'm trying to use a different group available in Confluence via user directory/LDAP that 2 of the people are in to give them permission to a space, which isn't working. I have to add them as individuals in order for them to access the space.

Thanks anyway,

Jack

Contributors macro; exclusion
Asked by MD Wilson:

Is there a way to exclude an author from the list of Contributors the macro provides?

EG: A technical writer assists with the presentation of material provided by an engineer, but is not someone a reader of the material should contact to obtain clarifications. Both the original author (engineer) and the tw show up as Contributors, though, and the tw as a more-frequent Contributor.


Answers:
author: Andy Gladstone
body: [@MD Wilson](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5061399) Welcome to the Atlassian Community.

Unfortunately there is no way to classify the different types of contributors, and once a person edits a page they are classified as an author and will come in on the Contributors report that the Macro produces.

Sorry I could not be a bigger help in providing you a solution.

Which theme plug-in for CI colors and fonts?
Asked by Christian Janssen:

Hello,

we are a small company that uses a styleguide for fonts and colors in Office documents, and I would like to make our Confluence space (cloud) match that.

What I find in marketplace as theme plugins seems to either provide predefined themes to choose or a complete css development platform which may be too complicated for the job.

I wonder if anyone could give advice as to which plugin may be suitable for us.

Code Macro default theme configuration ignored
Asked by Richard Frost:

The Code Macro theme setting is completely ignored

I have this selection below for the Global Code Macro Defaults

![Code-Macro-Administration-Confluence-setting.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/222147iB2FBB0435D60F729/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Code-Macro-Administration-Confluence-setting.png")

Yet I get this in my published renderings:

I have used Confluence Data Center edition at work for years and the Code Macro was an excellent addition to increase documentation readability - especially the abilty to set a dark background with white text for code snippets / bash code examples etc.

Yet for reasons I dont understand the Cloud version is not only completely reduced in functionality - you cant even change the default theme yet this configuration is offered.

Oh and who decided that line numbering was a mandated option - its really bad for readability of NON code quoted text ( eg bash lines like shown above ).

Why isnt this a global setting - at least give us the option to TURN IT OFF.

You can nest the code macro in its background macro, then ensure that the background macro is a dark colour. The code macro currently does not show numbering when nested in this plugin's macros, so this could actually produce the results that you need.

This app is developed by my team, so let me know if you need help.

Your suggestion is for me to PAY for an additional app:

<br />

I did not realise this is NOT a Confluence Cloud bundled macro - so this needs to be paid for

I just lodged this as a formal service request now. ( see JST-814801 )  

Confluence Support - when will you be fixing the code macro and addressing the following

1 - Fixing Code Themes so they actually work

2 - Adding 'Line Number Toggle option to Global Settings or macro instance editor settings   

( sorry I just realised you are not Confluence staff - I thought you were working on the team that codes the Confluence Macro itself - not another product )

How to get a trial license for Data Center hosted on Azure
Asked by May Lee:

Hi,

I would like to trial Confluence Data Center on Azure. I'm required to enter the license key when creating the Confluence Server Data Centre from Azure Market Place. Where can I get a trial license?

Thanks.

body: [@May Lee](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3018584) according to [@Nic Brough -Adaptavist-](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/781454) you would ask for the license during the installation. Have you done an install yet?


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: The server ID is generated during installation, the usual way to get a license is to run the install (on the first node) and ask for a trial when you get to the licence step.

comments: author: May Lee

We tried installing the Data Center from the Azure Market Place and this is the first screen this is the Configure Confluence screen shown to us prompting us for a license key.

author: Fabio Racobaldo _Herzum_
body: Hi [@May Lee](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3018584) ,

SERVER ID is per instance basis (at application level) and not related to a single node. So, if you have a data center instance, all nodes have a shared server id.

Hope this helps,

Board without admin?can't promote anyone to admin to control it
Asked by Kieran Hanrahan:

Hi,

The admin of one board of ours deleted their Trello account and now nobody has admin permissions on the board. We have admin permissions for the workspace but can't promote anyone to be admin of the board without board-specific admin permissions. (The "Change permissions..." option to promote people to admin is greyed out for us all.) Kind of a catch 22.

Does anyone know how to solve this? Thank you.


Answers:
author: Michael Pryor
body: If an admin leaves a board and there are no other admins, I think it chooses someone. I remember this being a code path so a board always has an admin. It could be the case that if someone deletes their account, this code doesn't run.

One way around it would be to run a trial for Premium. If you start the trial or upgrade the Workspace (if you are a member) then you'd be able to appoint an admin on the board I think - but depends on which workspace the board lives in.

comments: author: Kieran Hanrahan
body: Thanks so much, [@Michael Pryor](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1131556)! Starting the free trial did trigger the promotion of 2 new board admins. I think you're right that the code didn't run when our old admin deleted their account.

Why isn't there a calendar view of the cards assigned to me, across all my boards
Asked by zoomnclick:

Someone's requested this feature over 4 years ago (<https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Trello-questions/How-can-I-summarize-cards-assigned-to-me-on-one-calendar/qaq-p/578078>)

Right now I can view all the cards assigned to me (on the Mac Trello app), by clicking on my avatar and choosing cards. I'm a little stumped about why this isn't available in a Calendar view. Currently in Calendar Power Up view I can only filter the cards assigned to me in a particular board. I can't view all my cards across boards in a Calendar view.

Is this a feature that's expected soon?

Thanks for reaching out!

You can view all of your assigned cards across multiple boards via the Workspace table view (<https://help.trello.com/article/1235-workspace-table-view>). Please note, this is only available with Trello Premium or Trello Enterprise (<https://trello.com/pricing>).

To do so, add all boards you're a member of to a Table View , then filter for member "You."

From there, you'll get a detailed breakdown of all of your cards. With just a quick scan you'll be able to see their due date, as well as their urgency, based on which list they're in.

Let me know if that helps, or if you have any questions!

All the best,
