How to update user at the confluence (Cloud ) with rest api
Asked by tapendra:

As an admin, can I update user information at the confluence (Cloud) and Can I reallocate a user from one group to another group


Answers:
author: Thomas Deiler
body: Dear [@tapendra](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4375743) ,

welcome to the community.

You can remove a user with *acountId* "5b10ac8d82e05b22cc7d4ef5" from a group **brokers** with:

```
DELETE /wiki/rest/api/group/user?name=brokers&accountId=5b10ac8d82e05b22cc7d4ef5
```

You can add a user to a group **scientists** with:

```
POST /wiki/rest/api/group/user?name=scientists
```

JSON Post Data:

```
{
"accountId": "5b10ac8d82e05b22cc7d4ef5"
}
```

The *accountId* for the user **alice** can be got with:

```
GET /wiki/rest/api/user/bulk
```

See more details within the [rest reference](https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/rest/intro/).
> Can I update user information at the confluence?

You can't update user information with rest.

So long

author: Thomas Deiler
body: You can't do with the Confluence REST API.

**User provisioning** works different. Have a look at its own [REST API documentation](https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/admin/user-provisioning/rest/intro/).

User with permission on only one space can view other spaces
Asked by Marco Gehrmann:

I followed the steps described here: <https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/how-to-grant-access-to-one-space-only-to-a-user-in-confluence-815244321.html>

But the user in the group can also view other spaces where the option "active Jira users can see this space" is activated.  
Is there any way to restrict the other spaces for the user?


Answers:
author: Clark Everson
body: Hi Marco,

Thanks for joining the community! Unfortunately no, this function overrides the space permissions in Confluence as outlined in Atlassian's documentation.

<https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/give-access-to-unlicensed-users-from-jira-service-management-829076204.html>

Usually the best way to handle these kinds of things is through documentation and training for Space Admins as more than often these settings are enabled without people understanding the downsides.

I hope this helps!

Best,  
Clark

comments: author: Marco Gehrmann
body: Thank you for confirming and linking the documentation page. The idea that both settings are dependent just came me when creating this question.


author: Heather Ronnebeck
body: What I do to lock down user access is I create a new group for that user or set of users and allow it to assign licenses/seats to users in that group. I then give that group in the project of my choice the users and developers roles.

Since the group I created is different from my default users group that I use for users that are allowed to see all projects, the feedback I get is that the users in the special groups I make for locking down access can't see other tickets from other projects.

I hope this helps.

Who is the administrator? or how to request access?

You don't have the right permissions; talk to your admin about adjusting them.


Answers:
author: Mykenna Cepek
body: First try accessing the "Contact Administrators Form", which you might find here:

<https://equifax.atlassian.net/wiki/contactadministrators.action>

Confluence admins can turn off that form globally for Confluence for your company, so it might not work.

The only other options you have are to:

* Ask the person who have you the link (which doesn't work for you) for assistance in getting permission to access that page or space in Confluence. If they can't grant you the access, ask them who can.
* Ask around your team and/or managers/leader to find out who (or what group) administers Confluence at your company.

Problems viewing mp4 on Confluence Page
Asked by Lauren Bertsch:

I am a Confluence user and have added mp4 files (GoToMeeting recordings specifically) to Confluence pages in the past. Rather recently, I've noticed that the mp4 page cannot be viewed. While it shows I have added the file as an attachment and seems like it attached successfully, once I click on it as well as others that have access to the page, the square/space where the video should be viewed turns white with a little white icon in the middle. Nothing plays. What could be the issue?

Was there a change to the embedded jira query functionality? Can't sort query results in confluence.
Asked by Nicole Mosley:

I have some query results embedded in a confluence page. Previously we could sort those by clicking on any column header. Now they can only be sorted on updated at or status, but I have made no changes. They aren't even being displayed sorted based on the actual query ORDER BY statement. Was there a release that changed this functionality and how can I get the proper sorting back?

New editor: code block without line numbers?
Asked by Chris Boyce:

Hello all,

We're an Opsgenie customer looking at Confluence Cloud to replace our old Wiki. I realize the "new" editor has removed some macros and features users used to enjoy and that perhaps some of those capabilities will be returning in time.

What I'm not sure about is basic code blocks. Unless I'm missing something, there appears to be no way to make a simple fixed-font or monospaced block of text (such as showing system output or file contents) without having line numbers.

Even this community forum editor allows this, so it seems almost ironic that an industry standard like Confluence can't do it. Is it inevitable that some of the code block customizations in the "old" macro will be re-instated?

Thanks for your help.


Answers:
author: Brant Schroeder
body: [@Chris Boyce](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4377017) Welcome to the Atlassian Community.

You are correct that the code block does not have this ability. There is a feature request here [https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-1179](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-1179?) This is the closest that I found so you might want to submit your own.

comments: author: Chris Boyce
body: Thanks [@Brant Schroeder](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/769100) - would you happen to know if code blocks inside Expands are also broken? I can't seem to make that work either. Thanks!


author: Brant Schroeder
body: [@Chris Boyce](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4377017) - I am able to make that work. If you add the expand and then add the code block it works.


author: Chris Boyce
body: [@Brant Schroeder](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/769100)you're right it works "on its own" but it doesn't seem to work inside a table, ie. if you want to format everything nicely. When you create the code block, it jumps outside the expand and there seems to be no way to drag it back inside. Attempting screenshot below...

How to construct a table from pages data
Asked by Jm Ul:

I would like to have my team use a specific template to build a specific set of pages so that each of the page contains the same information. Let's take an example for a project page :

# Project title

## Project lead

## Project members

## ...

Each different project would then be one page. Structured according to the defined template.

I am wondering if it is possible to structure the page template in such a way that then another page, called "*projects dashboard"*page could fetch data from each of those pages dynamically (i.e. if a user adds a page, it's added to the dashboard) and construct a table listing :

* Each project
* For each project, the project lead, the project members
* other information as desired

Is this achievable with Confluence ? I could not find the answer for "unstructured" information scatted within a page.

Thank you for your support !

Learning & Development / Training Library on Confluence
Asked by M?ge Arslant?rk:

Hi Community,

I am thinking of creating a Training Library on Confluence for our team. Ideally in this "Confluence Library" team members can see a summary list of all the available trainings, add more information about them (i.e. when is the next training, how much does it cost, what's the quality of the training etc) and we can track it there.

Has anyone created something like this before? Could you give me some hints on what I would need to watch out for and what would be useful?

Thanks a bunch!

How to add a link to the Jira Issue Link macro
Asked by carlos.marin:

Hi,

For novice users or people not getting familiar with Confluence I want to put a link while editing a Confluence page to access directly to the "Insert JIRA Issue/Filter" - \> "Create New Issue" window.

Instead of writing "/Jira" to open that window I would like to provide users a button to access this window from confluence.

![Create New Issue.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/141636iEDC1C01DB147F03E/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Create New Issue.png")

is it possible to do that?

Best regards,


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: There's already a link in the editing menu for this - under +, click "Jira".

If that's not what you are looking for, could you explain how your "button" would appear and where?

comments: author: carlos.marin
body: Yep, but for novice users that button is "hidden", there is lot of options in the confluence menu.

I want something like this, if you click in "link" you will get the "Insert JIRA Issue/Filter" - \> "Create New Issue" window.

if it's a button placed in that position it will be perfect.

Thanks!!


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Ok, but that would be page content. How would Confluence know where to insert the button in your content when you clicked "create" or "edit"?

For "create" though, you could add a sample link into a template, with instructional text, so people know how to edit the link.


author: carlos.marin
body: it will be a button like the one tht you can put to "create a confluence page from template" that you can put at any place in the page.

author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: That macro doesn't behave the way you are describing you want:

First, when it's on the page and you click it, it does not edit the current page and change things on it, it takes you off to the "create new page" process via a template.

Second, to get it into the content, you use either /creat... or insert it from the menu. In other words, to get it, you have to use exactly the same processes as you currently do to use the /jira macro. You might as well just use /jira

Confiforms - File/Attachment field cannot be used more than once
Asked by davin:

Hello all,

I had built out a form with Confiforms that included an File/Attachment field.

After receiving complains from the team I released that the field somehow is limited to only uploading files once. As in if after attaching the initial file if I wanted to attach another set of files, the field replaces the older selection with the new selection.

The most common use case for this is when you want to attach files from multiple folders - after attaching the files from the first folder, you cannot click "Browse" again to go to another folder and attach some more files as your initial selection will be deleted.

The workaround is to move all your files to a single location before opening up the form to attach files but obviously it doesn't flow with the general Attachment UI across other places which creates confusion amongst users and they feel that the field is only limited to one attachment.

Is there any way to fix this?


Answers:
author: Alex Medved _ConfiForms_
body: Attachment picker allows you to pick files that were already attached to the page it is pointing to

File/Attachment field allows you to upload (select for upload) multiple files. True that you need to do it at once (file selection), if you want to upload multiple files at once

Alex

comments: author: davin
body: My bad. I've corrected the question accordingly. So is there any way to fix this? Where it can "retain" already selected files?


author: Alex Medved _ConfiForms_
body: Sorry, to fix what specifically?

The selection needs to be done "at once" - this is how file field in the browser works

There is no upload made at the time when you just browse and select the file, only on form submit


author: davin
body: Basically, like all file upload UIs, I'd like to give the user the ability to select the files they want to upload from different folders rather than having to do it "at once".
