Restrictions in Confluence
Asked by Stanislav:

If there is a plugin or a different decision to solve my problem.

I want restriction that only a specific user can see a page inside the space. But user should see only one page that he is allowed to watch and all other pages in this space is invisible for him.

As i uderstand it is not possible to do so with a confluence cascading permissions and restriction system. But it will be very usefull tool to control who can see pages and have a permission that restricted people from seeing some pages.

Also If you know apps/plugins that can publish the page without exposing others. That will be greate if you will be able to provide me with them.

Appreciate any help, thanks.

body: Hi Stanislav,

Confluence comes with some native restrictions features built in and enables you to restrict pages and spaces to specific users or groups. This article may help - <https://confluence.atlassian.com/conf70/permissions-and-restrictions-976756948.html>

Alternatively, our Plugin [Compliance for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1218474/compliance-for-confluence?hosting=server&tab=overview) can also help with restrictions (plus other features) but the native functionality in Confluence may be all you need for this specific scenario.

Happy to help if you have any other questions.

Best wishes,

Craig

i see automatic page restriction and a person who is restricted cant see the content inside the page or he wont be able to see this page in a page tree inside a space?


author: Craig Willson (AppFox)
body: Hi [@Stanislav](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4204478)

Just to clarify, when you say automatic page restriction are you referring to the restrictions built into Confluence or our Plugin? It will help me answer your question

Best wishes,  
Craig


author: Stanislav
body: Plugin.


author: Craig Willson (AppFox)
body: Hi [@Stanislav](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4204478)

If a page is restricted, it would not be visible within the page tree inside a Space. For your scenario, the "visible page" would need to be placed into its own separate page tree with the correct access restrictions applied. If you wanted us to talk you through this please feel free to contact us (support@appfox.io).

Alternatively, it may be worth considering a solution that allows you to share specific pages.

Best wishes,  
Craig

Remove "Create" Button in Header on Public Sites
Asked by Nico:

Hi,

how can i remove the create Button on a public space in Confluence cloud?


Answers:
author: Naomie Amsing
body: I have the same question as a couple years ago. Why do anonymous users who only have viewing rights, see a +create button? If they click the button, they receive a pop-up which says they are not allowed to create something.


author: Roland Marx
body: We also want to use the feature:

Have a documentation page with anonymous READ-ONLY access.

The users then should not see a "create" Button. If they click on it it tells that there are no rights to creat something

I've faced a similar problem while migrating some Confluence / Jira servers to Cloud and the problem was caused by one user having an incorrect email configured.

Try to search within the logs files if the problematic user is depicted there and if not try to search for your users to see if any have an invalid email address configured.

Copy space permission
Asked by Uri Shalit:

Hey,

I want to give a non admin user permission to copy (clone) a Confluence space .

Is this achievable?

Thanks,


Answers:
author: Carla Ann Rowland
body: The first question-- is if the space is purchased or free. If purchased go into the individual user's permission and give them space rights that allow cloning. This provides that user those permissions.

Link markup doesn't seem to work. Any ideas why?
Asked by 'No Bugs' Hare:

We're considering Confluence Cloud to develop our internal documentation, and one thing I am missing is an ability to put placeholder links to "future pages" (which is trivial in MediaWiki).

When I've found[Link to undefined, placeholder pages - Atlassian Community](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-articles/Link-to-undefined-placeholder-pages/ba-p/1412785) - I thought it is just the ticket, BUT when I tried it - nothing happened. Moreover, while most of other markup works, link markup (everything which starts with **\[**) - doesn't (and I tried it both in Edge and in Chrome).

Is it supposed behavior on Confluence Cloud, or something is wrong in settings, or...? All kinds of help will be appreciated.

How to sum the counts on different rows and display it in a seperate row?
Asked by Lawrence:

Hi,

I created a table in my confluence page to display new and closed issues. Now I want to sum the counts and put the total number in separated row, how can I achieve that in a table. Attached is a screenshot of what I like to setup in my confluence page. Please advise.

Thank you,

Lawrence

Answers:
author: Katerina Kovriga {Stiltsoft}
body: Hi [@Lawrence](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3133271) ,

You may try the [Table Filter and Charts for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/27447/table-filter-and-charts-for-confluence?hosting=server&tab=overview) app.

Insert the Jira Issues macro and paste the required JQL (for example, issues that were created and issues that were closed during the last 30 days - it seems, that you need to do something similar).

To count the issues of both types, wrap the Jira Issues macro into the [Pivot Table](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/public/TFAC/How+to+use+Pivot+Table+macro) macro:

![Mon 2-1.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/130511i43E68C4526D03CCF/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Mon 2-1.png")

![Mon 2-2.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/130512iFB69CA5B8CD86743/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Mon 2-2.png")

As a result, you'll get a dynamically changing summary table.

You'll be also able to visualize the table with the help of the [Chart from Table](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/public/TFAC/How+to+use+Chart+from+Table+macro) macro if required. This macro also works with dynamically changing Jira Issues macro perfectly well.

[Here](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/public/TFAC/Using+Table+Filter+and+Charts+in+Combination+with+the+Jira+Issues+Macro) are several examples of the Jira dashboards in Confluence created with the help od the Table Filter and Charts for Confluence app.

comments: author: Lawrence
body: Hi [@Katerina Kovriga {Stiltsoft}](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1464746) ,

Thank you for your advise. I'll try it out.

Could you provide me steps on how to insert my current table into the pivotal table? The interface is no that obvious for the uninitiated confluence user like me.

Regards,

Lawrence


author: Katerina Kovriga {Stiltsoft}
body: Hi [@Lawrence](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3133271) ,

You should insert the Pivot Table macro first on the page, then put you mouse cursor inside the macro body and insert the Jira Issues macro.

So, the Jira Issues macro will be wrapped into the Pivot Table macro.

And, of course, you'll be able to enter their settings separately.


author: Lawrence
body: Hi Katerina,

Thank you very much for your following up reply. I'll give it a try.

Kind regards,

Add a shortcut to a JIRA project in Confluence spaces sidebar
Asked by jtrecursion:

Hi!

In Confluence I can create a "Confluence *Space*" specialised in "software-projects" (I'm sorry but because we're using Confluence in German I might not be able to translate all of Confluences terms properly).

While setting up the *Space* you can select the JIRA project which is related to this confluence space. This creates an overview of current issues in JIRA on the first page but also a shortcut in the sidebar:

![Unbenannt.PNG](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/130336iCA52474480078530/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Unbenannt.PNG")

While I can add generic web shortcuts via "Space settings" \>\> "Sidebar configuration" \>\> "Add space shortcuts" (in German "Verkn?pfung hinzuf?gen"):  
![Unbenannt2.PNG](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/130337i8A87112270A7AF39/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Unbenannt2.PNG")

As you can see above there is already a shortcut named "JIRA: Playground" (linking to <http://foo.bar.com/browse/PLG>), because when creating the space I selected "software-project" and choose the related JIRA project "Playground".

But our team has not only one project in JIRA. There are more. So I would like to add a shortcut to the other projects as well.

Nothing I tried created a similar shortcut.

First I simply tried by adding the copied URL of the project on JIRA server.  
Then I tried by adding a new application link via "Space settings" \>\> "Integration" \>\> "Application links". But this doesn't create any shortcuts in the sidebar.

So how can I in Atlassian Confluence 6.15.7 make a shortcut to JIRA projects like the one you can see in the pictures above?

Thank you very much for your help,

Jens

Security concern: How to hide comments/names/email addresses from anonymous users on public spaces
Asked by sara_oconnell:

Anonymous users on the mobile Confluence app can see comments, names, and e-mail addresses on our public spaces. This is a security concern. On the desktop app, the Viewport add-on takes care of that, but it doesn't apply to the mobile interface.

Is there any way to hide that information in public spaces on the mobile web and phone apps?

author: Matt Reiner [K15t]
body: Hi [@sara_oconnell](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4052112)

I'm not sure the details on your Scroll Viewport theme, but many are responsive, so they would work on mobile.

So, if your mobile readers go directly to your Viewport site URL, instead of using the Confluence Mobile app, all this information should be protected.

comments: author: sara_oconnell
body: Thanks, Matt. My hope was to find a secure way to allow confluence users to access our sites via the mobile app, since the mobile app is easier to use on a mobile device.

Currently, asking mobile users to access the site via the web appears to be the only secure solution, unless there is a way to improve the security of the mobile app.

Move down on every empty line between 'Experiment Execution' and 'Data Questions' headers and check if Confluence editor changes from 'Normal Text' to 'Heading 1', 'Heading 2'... If you encounter any empty line configured as header, please change it to be a regular paragraph and save the page to see if the problem gets solved.

Advanced Roadmaps Macro Not Working
Asked by Clark Everson:

In our instance, we have 2 confluences and 2 Jiras linked together. Our internal Confluence is unable to display Roadmaps from our instance of Jira that also connects to a different directory. Some of the usernames in the instance are different, however my username is the same in both and I can reproduce the issue. we also have a stage instance where the issue is reproducible.

The only previous documentation I could find I verified, and the URLs we use match, so this shouldn't be the case.

This issue didn't occur when we were on Confluence 6.13.3 but now occurs on 7.4.6 after upgrading

Any help would be appreciated, or ideas.

Show file size in Attachment Macro

Sadly, Attachment Macro (Confluence Cloud) hasn't that option yet. So there is no way to display the file size within the macro.

However, you can check file sizes while navigating to 'More Actions --\> Attachments' section on the desired page as shown below:

And then is does show up in the file listing
