Set permissions based on pages
Asked by Michelle:

I want to restrict edit access for certain pages in a Space while allowing add/edit to different pages in the same Space.

Can I do this?

How?

Thanks,

author: Jonathan Smith
body: Hi [@Michelle](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1480144),

Do follow [@Mikael Sandberg](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/853579)'s answer and review the [space permissions](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/space-permissions-overview-139521.html) as well since they will apply.

Couple items to note:

* If you give someone view only access to a parent page, they will be able to view \[*++and edit++ if they have "add page" in space permissions*\] the children pages.
* If you want a "read only" hierarchy, restrict the parent to view only, then change the restrictions under each child page to "editing restrictions = everyone can view.

comments: author: Jonathan Smith
body: [@Michelle](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1480144) To be able to edit a page, the users will need "page - add - checked" in space permissions. If that is not checked, they can only view the page regardless of the page restrictions.


author: Jonathan Smith
body: As long as your home page is not "view only" and the Page - Add is checked, then should work:

Welcome to the Atlassian Community.

You set permissions on individual pages and its child pages by [adding page restrictions](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/add-or-remove-page-restrictions-724764891.html) (the padlock icon you see on a page).

How do I make a page automatically shrink to accommodate a smaller computer screen?
Asked by Gerri Shane:

A user has a page with graphics that shrink in width instead of automatically downsizing to fit a smaller screen width. Everything is fine on a wider screen. He doesn't want a horizontal scroll.


Answers:
author: AnnWorley
body: Hi Gerri,

I have two monitors that are different sizes and when I drag a Confluence page with images on it from the larger to the smaller screen, the entire browser shrinks proportionally, without distorting the images.

I speculate that the setting we need is in the browser or the operating system. Please let me know what OS and browser your user is seeing the issue in.

redirect all to https
Asked by Ronald Ropp:

I have a confluence instance running in AWS - got it working with lets encrypt and Apache and traffic is secure. I changed the connector port also to 8443.

I can connect to the URL and it redirects all traffic to https like I would expect. (trying on 80 and 443)

However when I connect to serverurl:8443 its still insecure

How to do I correct this?

tks


Answers:

body: Hi Ronald,

Please see our SSL doc at [Step 5. Add a security constraint to redirect all URLs to HTTPS](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/running-confluence-over-ssl-or-https-161203.html#RunningConfluenceOverSSLorHTTPS-Step5.AddasecurityconstrainttoredirectallURLstoHTTPS).
> Although HTTPS is now activated and available, the old HTTP URLs (http://localhost:8090) are still available. Now you need to redirect the URLs to their HTTPS equivalent. You will do this by adding a security constraint in web.xml. This will cause Tomcat to redirect requests that come in on a non-SSL port.

Unable to edit meeting notes after resetting to default?
Asked by Joshua Haynes:

I had a custom meeting notes template. I wanted to update it and my only option was reset to default. So I reset it to default, hoping it would give me the edit button. Now that's gone and I have no way to edit the Meeting Notes template. My Confluence Business Blueprints - Plugin is showing all Meeting Notes enabled. 38 of 38.

What's going on? Are we no longer allowed to do this on the hosted platform?

See below:

![Edit is missing.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/26824i2AD46787C38BC7CE/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Edit is missing.png")


Answers:
author: Manon Soubies-Camy
body: Hello [@Joshua Haynes](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1427569),

It is indeed not possible to edit the Meeting notes blueprint at the moment, see this bug ticket: [Meeting notes template is uneditable](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-61345) and the 28th June update:
> Sorry for the inconvenience this has caused you but to allay your fears, the ability to edit the meeting notes template **has not** been removed - it's just temporarily disabled until we finish updating the template editor.
>
> This is so that the template will look the same (and have the same features) in both the template editor, and in the actual template.
>
> We do expect to add this back gradually in the coming weeks, and we'll update this ticket to let you know when that happens.

The best thing to do is to watch the bug ticket to be updated.

Hope this helps!

can you sort files alphabetically in a file list
Asked by Susan Puzzo:

I have a file list that the files appear in the order that they were modified. Can I re-order the list alphabetically based on file name


Answers:
author: AnnWorley
body: Hi Susan,

If the file list is being displayed via the [attachments macro](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/attachments-macro-97911315.html) you may change the way files are sorted by editing the macro and changing the Sort by field to Name:

Assigning Pre-Existing Tasks
Asked by Sta:

Hi all,

I'm currently working on creating a meeting notes template for my organization. It's going very well, however, I'm curious about one thing.

One of the feature's we're utilizing is Confluence's tasks. Every meeting, we'll be assigning tasks out to participants. However, not every task will be completed before the next meeting, so they carry over.

How can we include the preexisting tasks within our meeting notes without duplicating the task?

Edit: I should include that we'd like to not modify the template, if possible. I understand there are reporting functions for tasks. but we have a separate page for task reporting. We just want to have the task carry over to be "reassigned", along with any new tasks that may come up.


Answers:
author: Jonathan Smith
body: Hi [@Sta](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1633661),

Since the requirement is not to modify templates/blueprints, I suggest you incorporate reviewing the **Task Report macro** on the Meeting Notes parent page during each meeting.

You would then reassign any task by clicking on the task's "Task appears on" page and update the assignee in the source.

The Task Report macro can also be manually inserted on each new meeting note page if you want to go that route. Modify the macro's parameters with the target space and task status = incomplete.

comments: author: Sta
body: Hi Jon,

Sorry for the delay. After reviewing your answer and getting back to my team, we have gone ahead and went with your suggestion on having a parent page with tasks listed there.

In addition, within our template, we added a link that leads to the parent page so it's just a click away for viewing our tasks. :)   

Thanks again for your help!
Editing Office files attached to a page - issue

Global Permission
Asked by Ivan Vukmanov:

Hi i'am having an issue and i'am trying to solve it already for few weeks.

The problem lies in the global permission for jira and confluence. These administration was before managed by a former employee of ours. I have some admin permissions but doesn't seem to have global. A great number of pages on confluence are closed to me.

How can i solve this?

Thank you

If you have a **System Administrator** right, you can go to the **Space Admin -\> Permissions -\> Restricted Pages** in order to discover the pages which are restricted.

Please check this [article](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/global-permissions-overview-138709.html?_ga=2.12013044.1526776009.1531376357-1151810916.1522999095#GlobalPermissionsOverview-Comparingtheconfluence-administratorsgroupwiththeadministratorpermissions).

Cannot login in Confluence through Jira User Directory after network migration
Asked by F?bio Cabrita:

Hello,

I had Confluence using Jira User Directory through app links without problem till now.

I have migrated the host where I had Confluence and Jira, and then I have changed JIRA app link, to a new IP, and then I enable recovery_admin in Confluence, to reset app link to the new IP too.

From both sides, both outgoing and incoming connections are connected but still, but still I cannot login through Confluence using Jira User Directory.

Application links do not manage users, these are used to create data links, so that Jira Issues Macro would work on Confluence amongst other services.

For user management you need to go to User directories and re-create Jira User directory from there. You can do it on Jira or Confluence side.

Publishing templates doesn't work
Asked by Elin Vanlierde:

Hi,

I'm just starting with using Confluence, so my apologies in advance if this is a stupid question.  

I'm trying to create a template. Something basic and simple.

I can get to the empty page where I can create my template.

I can make it, but when I press 'publish', I get back to the main overview page with all the templates on it, my new one hasn't appeared.

With the back keys, I can get back to my template design. It has lots it's title, but the context remains.

Trying to rename it and publish it again, leads to the same problem.

Heeeellllpppp


Answers:
author: Manon Soubies-Camy
body: Hello [@Elin Vanlierde](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1631322) and welcome to Community!

Do you know what kind of templates you've created? Space template or global template?

Let's say you've created a space template, does it appear in your Space settings \> Content tools \> Templates? It should look like this:

![space-template.PNG](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/26771i8C13A479F1F3D293/image-dimensions/686x204?v=v2 "space-template.PNG")

If your template does appear under "User created templates", then it's been correctly created. Next thing to check is where you create your new page: you need to check you create a new page in the space where the template has been created. When creating a page, you can choose the space:

![create.PNG](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/26772i235BB5B6CC4020A9/image-dimensions/419x223?v=v2 "create.PNG")

New templates usually are at the bottom of the templates' list - have you scrolled down?

Let me know if this helps!

comments: author: Elin Vanlierde
body: Hi Manon,

Thanks for the reply.  
No, I can't see it there. That's part of the problem.  

I have continued to play around with it and have figured out my problem might have something to do with me copying part of an existing page (with links and figures in it).  

Because if I use plain text, or recreate the links, upload the figures etc. It does want to publish.

But it means a lot of hard work and repeating.  

Isn't there an easy way to create a tamplate from an existing page you made?

Searching text in confluence pages using JQL based tables
Asked by cyril guillaum?:

I have a set of pages on confluence listing some stories extracted from JIRA.

For this, I am using the "JIRA issues" macro which will keep the lists up to date every time one of these pages is displayed.

However, I would also like to be able to search some text within these pages, including the text returned from the JIRA search...

Confluence doesn't seem to be working like this however. I understand that the pages are only rendered when accessed and so the text of those JIRA requests results can't be searched from Confluence search tool.

Does anyone know of a way to circumvent this limitation ?


Answers:
author: R. Fuerst
body: Hi Cyril,

I don't believe this functionality is possible in Confluence. Here's why:

The search functionality is powered by the Confluence Search Index and [Apache Lucene](http://lucene.apache.org/core/). Content must be added to the index queue for indexing and the queue is processed every five seconds by default. When you go to search for data, Confluence will look through the index and retrieve results based on your search.

Since the data from Jira is dynamically created and is coming from another application, I don't believe it would be possible to add data from Jira into Confluence's index.

I hope that information helps. If anyone else has a workaround, please feel free to chime in!

Best,

Rachel

Thanks \& best regards,

Answers:
author: R. Fuerst
body: Hi Bernd,

As you point out, the Favorite Pages Macro only displays recently added favorites and will not display a full list of your favorite pages. There is an open feature request to add this feature to the macro:

* [Add an option on the Favorite Pages Macro to display all the favorites](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-35437)

Per the [Atlassian New Features Policy](https://confluence.atlassian.com/support/implementation-of-new-features-policy-201294576.html), please comment on the request with how the feature would benefit your team.

Alternatively, you can see a full list of your favorite pages by going to:
