You are not permitted to perform this operation
Asked by Gabrielle Ocumen:

Hi Support Team,  

May I ask for your assistance on how to specify the restrictions of edit/view for PlaySQL Spreadsheets? When I checked the space tool, I saw spreadsheet tab. I guess, this will be the part that I'm allowed to modify the restrictions. However, I received error message "You are not permitted to perform this operation." Please see attached screenshot. Can you help me with this? Thank you!

This is a community site for users of Atlassian products, just like you!

If you want support for issues with [Play SQL Spreadsheets for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.playsql.playsql-plugin/server/overview), have a look at the 'Contact' details given here:

<https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.playsql.playsql-plugin/server/support>

They have a support site here: <http://support.play-sql.com/> which mentions that email is the preferred way to contact them.

In the meantime, I'll add tags to your question to help other users of the add-on find your question, in case someone can help.

Another thing you might want to do is edit your question title to mention that it is about PlaySQL Spreadsheets, that will also help people find it and understand what you need help with.

Getting the "You must signup for OnDemand..." with a Cloud subscription
Asked by Juan Porta:

Hello there,

We're trying to install this plugin: <https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.servicerocket.confluence.salesforce/cloud/support>

However, when we do, we get this error: "You must signup for OnDemand before you can try an OnDemand Marketplace add-on. If you already have an OnDemand account please check that it is linked to your current username"

We have a Cloud subscription. Why are we getting that message? If we click on Subscribe now we get the same error.


Answers:
author: AnnWorley
body: Juan, the Atlassian ID that Marketplace has for you is most likely not a contact on the Cloud subscription. You can check <https://my.atlassian.com> to see if the Cloud subscription is under your account.

I ran into the same issue when I tried the links on the Marketplace page you linked. However, when I installed from my Cloud instance at cog wheel\>Add-ons\>Find new Add-ons, I was prompted to install the plugin. The steps are on this tab of the [Marketplace page](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.servicerocket.confluence.salesforce/cloud/installation).

I look forward to hearing whether you can install the plugin from within the Confluence UI.

comments: author: Juan Porta
body: Thanks for your response, Ann. The problem was that I was not an admin for that instance. The admin tried and it worked.


author: Juan Porta
body: Nevertheless a better handling of that scenario would be ideal, so as a user I know what's the right thing to do / step to follow.


author: David Stevenson
body: Registered just so I can thank Ann for the above response. I wasted a good hour trying to find a way to register for ondemand, almost got as far as spinning up a new trial instance of Jira in my increasingly frantic efforts to simply install a free addon.

Terrible user experience.


author: Sarah Messer
body: I've tried my.atlassian.com, but see nothing about a Cloud subscription for my company. Does that mean the subscription is _not_ under my account? If that's the case, how do I find which admin has control of the company's Cloud account?


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Correct, if you can't see it, then you're not the buyer or named as one of the billing or technical leads.

Two routes - one is asking your admins, and the other is to raise a request with [Cloud support](https://support.atlassian.com/contact) - they'll privately be able to give you the names within your organisation.

Can I use Confluence Server on a linux box?
Asked by bfang711:

I would like to setup a linux box to use as Confluence Server. Several questions here.

1. I uses centos 7 in the linux_x64. Can Confluence Server supported?

2. The linux box is running in a rack in the server room. It is a little bit old, and have very few display memory. (e.g. it is slow to open an X window for firefox.) I wonder after I install the Confluence Server, do I need to configure it using firefox, or it has its own GUI interface that can go trhough X windows.

3. If it is too slow, and I want to install it on another linux box. Should I ask Atlassian sales to modify the license file for me?

4. When I edit any files, is that possible to use Emacs/Vi to edit and check the result on a website?

5. any related documentation how linux server version would work?

thank you.


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: 1. Centos is one of the operating systems near, if not at, the top of the list for running Confluence on, and the first one most of us reach for when given a free choice!
2. Confluence is a server, it needs no GUI on the server. The client is (usually) a browser on another computer. The basic install runs on a command line, and then you usually connect to the server with a browser to finish the rest of the installs
3. You don't need to, you can change the server id in your my.atlassian account and generate a new licence
4. Confluence is not a file server, you edit pages in Conflluence and they're part of "the website" automatically
5. Start at <https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/installing-confluence-on-linux-143556824.html>

Cannot view confluence table of contents on iPhone mobile device
Asked by Neal Culiner:

We use confluence 6 (latest) for our application documentation. Unfortunately if a user goes to the documentation from an iPhone they cannot view or navigate the table of contents and all of the topics unless switching to desktop mode. Is there a plan to support navigation of the contents on the mobile layout?

Is there a way to combine a list variable and status macro in a template?
Asked by John Corwith:

I'd like to be able to configure a pick list for the status macro when using it in a template. As an example, I'd like to be able to pick Grey with the title **Draft** , Yellow with **Submitted** , Blue with **In Test** \& Green with **Completed.**


Answers:
author: Davin Studer
body: You can, but you need to create a user macro to do it. Here is an example of the user macro setup.

**Macro Name:**   
template_status

**Macro Title:**   
Template Status

**Macro Body Processing:**   
Rendered

**Template:**

```
## Developed by: Davin Studer## Date created: 10/20/2015## @noparams#if ($body && $body != "")    #if($body == "Status 1")        #set ($color = "aui-lozenge-success") ## greeen    #elseif ($body == "Status 2")        #set ($color = "aui-lozenge-current") ## yellow    #elseif ($body == "Status 3")        #set ($color = "aui-lozenge-error") ## red    #elseif ($body == "Status 4")        #set ($color = "aui-lozenge-complete") ## blue    #else        #set ($color = "") ## gray    #end<span class="status-macro aui-lozenge $color">$body</span>#end
```

Change the values in the user macro to match the values in your template list variable. When you setup the template put the user macro on the page and put the template variable into the body of the user macro.

![Status.PNG](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/427i57758D145CD901BB/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Status.PNG")

You won't see the status macro in edit mode, but when the page is viewed you will. It will still even work with things like the page properties and page properties report macros.

comments: author: John Corwith
body: Thanks Devin, this is pretty great. I'll have to beg the powers that be to get my admin rights back so I can create a this macro. I think I'd go one better and make the 4 status settings configurable in the macro.

In the latest version of Confluence can the page properties report be sorted by page hierarchy?
Asked by Jeff Civitano:

Hello All!

Is is possible to sort the Page Properties report by Page Heirarachy in 6.1?

Thanks in advance,

Mike


Answers:
author: AnnWorley
body: Mike, the "sort by" field on the [Page Properties Report Macro](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/page-properties-report-macro-186089616.html) is still just for columns on the [Page Properties macro](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/page-properties-macro-184550024.html).

It looks like this feature request is relevant to your use case: [Make Page Properties Report able to be sorted by page variables](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-32332). Please vote for it so it will get more attention from the development team.

Balsamiq mockup (single/thumbnail) does not get updated when I update the mockup itself in the edito
Asked by Tanvi Pal:

I had created a mockup and was updating it based on suggestions. I had already addded this mockup to a page in Confluence .

How can i update the Confluence page for the mockup?


Answers:
author: Brendan Saricks
body: Hey Tanvi,

I'm really sorry that it has taken us this long to find your post. Are you still experiencing this issue? If so, would you mind [sending us an email](mailto:support@balsamiq.com) so that we can work on getting this sorted?

I'm sorry again for not seeing this sooner!

body: I'm experiencing this problem too, I've emailed you...


author: Ralph Neuff
body: Thanks to a very prompt reply from Balsamiq, problem solved!

Open the project, select **Project \> Export \> Export to PNGs,**and save those PNGs to the Confluence page (you will get a window asking you where you want them saved).

The Confluence page then has the latest version of each wireframe and should be automatically refreshed from now on.

Hi,

I'm going to upgrade my confluence from 5.6 to 6.1 but I facing problem.

Answers:
author: AnnWorley

Confluence - Missing icons everywhere
Asked by StefanN:

I tried to import a space from a backup and it failed because the hdd ran out of space. I then deleted the half imported spaced and did it again. This time it worked.

But since then **all** icons in Confluence are missing. Absolutely everything. Images which I inserted in pages load fine, but everything standard icon does not load.

Here is a screenshot:  
<https://www.dropbox.com/s/3xowt2amwg0iaox/confluence_missing_icons.png?dl=0>

Tried this guide, but it didn't help.

<https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/profile-picture-on-the-top-right-corner-is-missing-402030818.html>

In the browser's developer console I see several errors:

```
Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found) default-space-logo-256.png
```

```
Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 500 (Internal Server Error) add_profile_pic.png
```

```
Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found) default.png
```

So basically 404 and 500 related to default images.


Answers:
author: AnnWorley
body: One of the images in the dev console output you included is "default-space-logo-256.png". I found that file on my instance under:

\<Confluence_Install_dir\>/confluence/images/logo/default-space-logo-256.png

Please make sure the missing images' files are present in the install directory and that the user running Confluence has file system permissions to access them.

comments: author: StefanN
body: Good idea and thanks for the hint. "Sadly" everything is fine and the files are there and accessible.


author: Maarten Cautreels
body: Hi Stefan,

As far as I can see, all images that are missing are user uploaded images (attachments and profile pictures). My suggestion would be to take a look at [this kb-article](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/how-to-resolve-missing-attachments-in-confluence-201761.html) to see if you can get your missing attachments back.

Another solution might be to trigger a [reindex of all Confluence content](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/how-to-rebuild-the-content-indexes-from-scratch-on-confluence-server-110035351.html). The import might have rendered the index to become invalid. Please take into account that a reindex might take a long time depending on the size of your instance!

Best,

Maarten

comments: author: StefanN
body: Hi Maarten, thanks for the hint. I'll take a look at these linked articles but I doubt they'll help.

Confluence does not even load standard icons like the plus and minus signs in a table. These are not ones I uploaded myself.

When subscribing to a Confluence Team Calendar, only JIRA key and summary are shown in name of event
Asked by Jeff Tillett:

I've created a Confluence Team Calendar for Release Management and it's properly showing the dates of the JIRA issues I've selected (i.e. Release Management Epics for Patch Releases).

I've notified Engineering that they can subscribe to the Release Management Calendar by adding this ICS URL to their corporate Google Calendar.

They've been reporting that they do see the events in the Calendar but every event they see looks the same where it only shows the name of the JIRA issue (in this case the JIRA key and the summary) but they don't see the specific date attached to it.

Expected Behavior:  
For CORE-97640 IN PROGRESS , the Kick-Off date is 3/27. When a user subscribes to the calendar, that date should be "CORE-97640 - 4.3.2 Patch Release (Kick-Off)"

Current Behavior: For CORE-97640 IN PROGRESS , the Kick-Off date is 3/27. When a user subscribes to the calendar, that date shows "CORE-97640 - 4.3.2 Patch Release"

Does anyone know how to get the actual date field to show instead of just the issue key?

8443 port added after redirect from http

```


Answers:
author: Daniel Eads {unmonitored account}
body: Hi Viktar,

:8443 is being displayed because that's the port that Tomcat is serving Confluence over. There are security concerns with Tomcat serving over the standard port 443 for HTTPS, so you should consider using a reverse proxy intstead.

As a rule of thumb, it's easier to manage SSL certificates through a reverse proxy such as nginx or Apache than directly through Tomcat. You'll also get some side benefits by using a reverse proxy such as better connection handling, gzip compression, and the ability to make use of http/2.

Check out this Atlassian article on setting up nginx with HTTPS in front of Confluence: <https://confluence.atlassian.com/confeap/running-c> onfluence-behind-nginx-with-ssl-849150880.html

I've also written some more detailed instructions on getting nginx set up if you're using CentOS/Ubuntu: <https://danieleads.com/turbo-charging-your-conflue> nce-with-nginx/ - small caveat that my article doesn't contain the extra lines in your configuration that you need to get collaborative editing working in Confluence 6.0 - but this only affects Confluence 6.0 and not any versions before/after 6.0.
