Does anyone knows about a Confluence plug in for statistics? More info than Page History
Asked by Daniel Rodriguez:

I want to know if there is a plug-in to export the number of pages accesses, the number of pages updated, the number of pages created,,, The idea is to have that info in excel format to make statistics. Thank in advance

There's a common need to see what pages are viewed (popularity) but we also value the needs of ensuring the right page is viewed by the right people (and be able to track them). I'd recommend to give it a try.

body: UWC provides a mechanism to import mediawiki pages into confluence whose usernames do not yet exist. This somehow does not seem to work from me and the exception is coming not from UWC but from Confluence.

Could it be that I need to do additional configuration in Confluence to allow page migration of non existent users. Or is this feature not supported in Confluence version I am using(5.9.8)?

Can a Page belong to multiple Spaces?
Asked by Adham Sidhom:

I need to setup a Page that is listed, accessible and editable from multiple Spaces. Can this be done? If so, how?


Answers:
author: Minh Tran
body: A page is belong to only one Space. You could not create a page for multiple Spaces

However you could bookmark them under the space shortcut on the sidebar <https://developer.atlassian.com/confdev/tutorials/adding-space-shortcut-links>

Or you could copy the page then move it to another Space

comments: author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Also, have a look at the "include" macro to make a page readable within other spaces (an attempt to edit will just show the user the include and the source page, so they can follow that to the actual page)


author: Davin Studer
body: The page include macro is most definitely the best way to do this. Single source your content as much as possible.


author: lsecor
body: Thanks for this. The include macro just saved me a lot of work!


author: Vimal
body: thanks


author: Jared Wall
body: [@Davin Studer](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/781467) I tried that and it worked great. But follow up question on that. It looks like the macro inherits the permissions from the original space. Is there a way to have the page appear in a "public" space. I want to have the editing happen only by certain people within the space, but then share the output publically?


author: Davin Studer
body: There are a couple ways to do this. If you use the include macros included with Confluence the content needs to exist in the least restrictive space and then be included into the more restrictive space in order to not have permissions issues. You could store the content in an open space and then put an edit restriction on the page to make sure only certain people can edit it.

The other option would be to use the [Include Content app](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1217141/include-content?hosting=server&tab=overview) by Keysight Technologies. It's a free app. It has a macro that lets you include content from another page and bypass the permissions issues. Specifically, they are the Shared Block macro (similar to the Excerpt macro) and the Include Shared Block (similar to Include Excerpt macro).

If I put a Jira filter on a confluence page, does a viewer of that Confluence page need to have a Jira account in order to see the Jira Issues?
Asked by Victor Forman:


Answers:
author: Nicolas Bourdages
body: It would be better for your Confluence user to also have a JIRA account, but that's not strictly necessary. The Application Link between JIRA and Confluence can be set up in different ways. If you use OAuth without impersonation, you need to set up a pre-configured user that has access to JIRA. All queries to JIRA from Confluence would use the permissions of this pre-configured user.

That being said, it's much better to use OAuth with impersonation if you have the same user base. The user would need to provide JIRA credentials once, and an access token would be saved to "link" the Confluence user to the permissions of the JIRA user for query purposes. That's the safest and most reliable way to do this, since the Confluence user will then have access to all JIRA issues that he's authorized to see, no more, no less.

So, in short: It's not strictly necessary, but you should set up a JIRA account for your user anyway.

Although, if you think Atlassian should remove dead links from the docs, we don't really have a formal way to tell them - they pick up here sometimes, but the only reliable way is to raise a support issue saying "docs are wrong" over at <https://support>.atlassian.com (problem is, there's no specific call type for "docs broken")

Can I make a chart from a linked table?
Asked by Mike Flannery:

As the title states - we are looking to create a Pie chart from a table in sharepoint. I know sharepoint doesnt play well without the connector but i figured if I created a workflow that exported a custom view to an Access (bleh) or Excel table, I could reference that in page somewhere. Alas I have found no means to accomplish this, and am open to suggestions :smile:.

Any help is appreciated!


Answers:

body: I dont think so, i didnt see anything in the details referencing external tables or even an import feature. But to be fair their documentation page wouldnt open for me, looked like a dead link, so im not sure.

How do I share content between two spaces with different different user groups?
Asked by Andreas Staffeldt:

While trying to duplicate content at two different spaces by the means of the 'Include Page' Macro I face the problem that Group A has admission to first space, but no admission to second space. Group B has admission to second space and no admission to first space. I prefer a solution where content changes in one space automatically updates the other space?


Answers:
author: Rodney Hughes
body: or in Space C with access granted to Group 1 and Group 2:

Page 1 (and its children) have no Restrictions - Group 1 and Group 2 can view and edit

Page 2 no View Restrictions (Group 1 and 2 can View) but Edit Restriction to Group 1 only

Page 3 no View Restrictions (Group 1 and 2 can View) but Edit Restriction to Group 2 only

Note though that Children don't inherit Edit Restrictions from the Parent - i.e. you have to reapply Edit Restriction if someone in Group 1 creates a Child to Page 2 ... noting that Group 2 can't create a Child to Page 2 since that is a form of Editing


author: Andreas Staffeldt
body: Thank your for your quick answer. In this case we want different permissions for the two spaces but we still want to share selected content.

Space A: Group A can create; Group B can't view

Space B: Group B can create; Group A can't view

We have a centralized IT and so we don't have admin rights in our subgroups at the moment

<br />

So we have to create Space C for shared objects? We define a Group C as the sum of Group A and Group B.

Are there any alternative solutions?

<br />

Thank you very much!

comments: author: Davin Studer
body: If that is your permissions scheme you will need space C for shared documentation that everyone can see. You can then include into space A and B from space C.


author: Nicolas Bourdages
body: I think you answered your own question there. If the original content is in space A, users will need at least View permissions to space A to view the content in space B.

You should set your permissions to look something like this:

* Space A: A group can Create, B group can View
* Space B: B group can Create, A group can View

User in multiple groups how do permissions and restriction then get applied?
Asked by Meleri Campbell:

I have 2 user groups:

**confluence-users group**Permission: Cannot delete pages

**Group 2** Permission: Can delete pages

Some users in the **confluence-users** group will also appear in **Group2.**

When I apply restrictions to pages if I restrict it to **confluence-users** group does that mean **Group 2** users, that also appear in the **confluence-users** group, be able to delete the pages because they have the permission from the **Group 2** group? or do they only get the permissions assigned to **confluence-users** group on that page i.e. cannot delete the page?


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: It's permissive, so it's an "or".

In your example, let's say you have:

* Alice: is in confluence-users
* Bob: is in group-2
* Chuck: is in both confluence-users and group-2

Your permission say that only people in group-2 can delete pages. So, Alice can't delete, because she's not in a group that lets it happen. Bob and Chuck can both delete because they are in group-2 which can delete.   

Chuck's membership of confluence-users does not matter because the group confluence-users does not grant any permission to delete. It's not really "confluence-users group cannot delete", it's actually "confluence-users group doesn't allow delete, so it's not relevant"
