Asked by Rajeev Rathore:

*This question is in reference to Atlassian Documentation: [Email Notifications](https://confluence.atlassian.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=145162)*

can i subscribe for notifications only from a selected space?


Answers:
author: Mohamad Khalife
body: You can 'watch' a Confluence space. Confluence will then send you a notification email whenever anyone updates the space. check <https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/watch-pages-spaces-and-blogs-139579.html>


author: Rajeev Rathore
body: Watching a space will send notifications for every change which at times is little irritating. Can I get a digest or daily notifications for changes made in a space?

comments: author: Kay Brown
body: You can get a daily updates email but it is for all spaces that you have permission to view. It is on your Profile under Settings. Select Email and then Subscribe to Daily Updates.

Regards,

Kay

HTML macro
Asked by Derek Whitaker:

When using an HTML macro to facilitate an iFrame, we get a blank box. We've used several URL's and none work, trying both http and https. Any suggestions as to how to get this to work?


Answers:
author: Robert Massaioli _Atlassian_
body: Have you seen the HTML macro for Confluence Cloud: <https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/biz.artemissoftware.confluence.html.HtmlMacro/cloud/overview>

That might work better for your usecase.


author: Milo Test
body: Gear -\> General configuration -\> Whitelist (in the USERS \& SECURITY area)


author: Derek Whitaker
body: Yes, we have tried to the iFrame macro, but have run into the same problem.

How does one go about whitelisting the site?


author: Milo Test
body: Have you tried just the iFrame macro? And/or have you whitelisted the site?

Asked by Michael Weintraub:

Hi. I keep getting this note (counting down), but when I click on renew online, the only thing that shows up is extending plug-ins (and these are renewed through 2017 or 2018). Is there a special place the h-ref should have sent me?

Thanks.

Confluence Cloud and SSO via Crowd
Asked by Fr?d?ric Bernier-Malcoiffe:

Hi,

currently, we have a JIRA Server licence.

We would like to complete with Confluence.

Firstly, we would like to use Confluence Cloud and migrate to Confluence Server after a few months.

But we wonder if there is a way with SSO between JIRA Server and Confluence Cloud.

Crowd can it play that role ?


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: No, because the Cloud Confluence user directory is not accessible outside Cloud, so there's nothing for any SSO to work with.

Once you have Confluence on Server, then you'll be able to enable Crowd based SSO with JIRA.

can each requirement have unique URL
Asked by Yaron591:

hi.

i am trying to link my test cases from "test rail" to requirements.

currently "test rail" supports linked URL address. this means that i can link each test case to entire requirement page ( URL address) instead of a single row in the requirement table.

is there a way to configure that each row in the requirement table will have a unique URL?

in that case each test case will be linked to a single or multiple requirements of my choice


Answers:
author: Stephen Deutsch
body: The best way would be to insert the Anchor macro in each row of the requirement table. It won't show once you have saved the page, but you should be able to link there as long as you follow the naming rules (<https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/anchors-139442.html>).

I miss names when I write minutes and will add participants and Action points
Asked by Helen Anderssson:

I have put in namnes as @Lena Glas and that works, but some names are missing when I write like this but they have access to our board.


Answers:
author: Milo Test
body: I have found that sometimes I have to use their user name (e.g. lglas) to get them to appear.


author: Nick Reilingh
body: As Milo says, it can help to build the habit of referencing by user name, but the other thing to do is this: make sure you are accepting the user mention autocomplete correctly. That is, when you start typing the name after the `@` sign, find the name you want in the autocomplete list that appears, select it with the arrow keys, and hit Enter or Return to accept it. If you do this, you are guaranteed to have the correctly formatted user mention when you are done. If you don't see the names of users in this autocomplete list when searching from either first name or username, then the server is having a small caching problem that one of your admins should be able to solve for you.

Excerpt Include Macro not displaying
Asked by richardofrugeley:

I have two pages that are included as excerpts in other pages using the Excerpt Include macro. One of these pages works but the other does not. Parent pages and Excerpts are in the same Space. What is it about a Page that can prevent it showing up?


Answers:
author: Thomas Schlegel

Do you see the included page at all?

Does it work, if you include the whole page using the "include page" macro?

body: Thanks Thomas. There is only one excerpt on the page. I can change the properties of the macro to point to another excerpt that does display, but the excerpt that I want does not display.


author: Thomas Schlegel

maybe there are two excerpts on the page that doesn't work?

can I add Parent Page title as a column in Properties Report Macro?
Asked by Shahed Khalili:

I am using the Properties Report Macro to show pages and the relevant properties, I like to have a column that shows the Parent Page title. is that possible?


Answers:
author: mpazz
body: I'm quite sure it is possible because I dit it for "Version".

In the pages with Property Macro I added a column "version" and I did a macro to reads the current version (you should do a macro that reads the parent-page). In the Properties Report Macro the version (parent-page) column will appear.

Re-validate all users
Asked by Giovanni Tirloni:

Over the years we have accumulated a lot of cruft in the form of users that we don't know if they are real users or dormant spambots.

Is there a way to ask all users to re-validate their access and disable everybody else?


Answers:
author: Guilherme V.
body: Hi Giovanni, you can filter the last time your users accessed Confluence as stated by [doc](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CONFKB/How+to+list+the+last+login+date+for+all+users+in+Confluence), take their IDs, and deactivate them with the following query:

```
update cwd_user set active = 'F' where id in (xxxx,xxxx,xxxx);

How Can I Give a User Group Permisions to a Page but NOT Allow them to see antyhing else in the Space
Asked by Elaine Gamble:

*This question is in reference to Atlassian Documentation: [Page Restrictions](https://confluence.atlassian.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=139414)*

I have a contracting group within confluence and they do not have access to a space - but I am needing them to be able to access and view a page within a space they do not have permissions. Is this possible? If not - then what suggestions might you have so this person can view this page but not the space it sits in.

thanks so much

Elaine


Answers:
author: Alex Yasurek
body: Permissions in confluence works by restricting viewing/editing to groups/users. So dont think about page restrictions as "Don't allow this group/user to view this page", instead think about it as "Only allow this group to view this page".

In your example, say you have Group A and Group B (this is the group you only want to give permission to view one page)

You would give Group A permission to every page except that one page you want Group B to view. This way you have to be in group A to view every other page. This is how you would hide them all from Group B. Since that one page does not have any restrictions then anyone can view it, including group B. But to view all the other pages you have to belong to Group A.

Hope this helps and wasn't confusing.

comments: author: Davin Studer
body: The easiest way to accomplish this is to place all the pages that you don't want group B to have access to under a parent page. Then you put a view restriction on that parent page for group A (meaning it is restricted to being viewed by group A). View restrictions are inherited from ancestor(parent/grandparent/and so on) pages. That way you only need to put the restriction on one page. Otherwise you would need to put a view restriction on every page in the space ... which gets cumbersome fast.


author: Elaine Gamble
body: This is confusing to me - so let me see if I understand what you are saying - Group B is my contracting group and I want them to see one entire space - so we added this group to the over all space permissions area - but then on the second space this group B needs access to a ONE page only - so they should NOT be able to access anything else on this space - EXCEPT for the one page on this space.

So - I think you are saying I would need to lock down every other page in this space to Group A so Group B (my contracting group can only view the one page) - is that correct. I would assume this group would be able to access the main home page though - correct?

thanks so much for your time

Elaine

comments: author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Yes, you have understood it fine. You need to allow access to the space, then restrict what group B can see.

Dynamic "user" and "time" macro/string in a Template
Asked by Shane Clarke:

Hi.

Still new to Confluence (and Jira). I'm attempting some template work for our projects and I'm not readily finding the answer to this.

I saw an example of it on another Confluence wiki style page. Under the title of the page, the users had what appeared to be some form of dynamic macro/plugin and I'm wondering how to do this, or find the existing functionality:

It looked something like:"updated by (username/first name last name) (20 hours ago)"

Are there strings/macros I can substitute for name \& time?

Thanks!


Answers:
author: Georges Moubarak
body: Hi @Shane Clarke,

This is a built in feature in Confluence. Once you hover your mouse under the title this message will appear.

Confluence: is there any way that a "page properties report" macro will change current version?
Asked by mpazz:

I would like (for approval) that the macro "page properties report" will affect the page version.


Answers:
author: Nick Reilingh
body: I'm still not quite sure what you're looking to do. A macro is just a set of parameters and a piece of code that can return dynamic content to the page based on those parameters. The page containing the macro will only get a new revision if you edit it and change the macro parameters.

If you want a summary page that you are never going to edit, then that page's revision date is always going to stay the same---end of story. I'm saying that if you want to tell your users when a change occurred on some other page or set of pages, you could do that with some text and a macro inside the content of that summary page.


author: mpazz
body: I could build a list of pages by tag and adding the modification date as you said... But If I do a Macro will I finish in the same problem (not updating tha page containing the macro)??

thanks @Nick Reilingh


author: Nick Reilingh
body: You mean you want the page containing the report macro to show a change when any of the data reported by the macro changes? This is not possible. The report page doesn't contain any of the property content, so there is nothing to show as changing on the page.

You might try finding a way to display the latest modification date for the property pages somewhere on the report page next to your macro.

Can I edit the image of an arrow in the Expand macro?

Answers:

The image is provided some CSS attributed to the .expand-control-icon CSS class.

Can anonymous users download attachments?
Asked by martokeen:

*This question is in reference to Atlassian Documentation: [Setting Up Public Access](https://confluence.atlassian.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=156)*

We want to add downloads to a public FAQ. The download link works when signed in, but not when logged out. In space permissions there is not an a "download attachment" permission to be granted for anonymous users. What is the expected behaviour?


Answers:
author: Guilherme V.
body: Hi mark, I've just tested and if the Anonymous user has the **Can Use** permission in the **Global Permissions** page, he will be able to download the attachment. You can also post the attachment's link the page's body.


author: martokeen
body: Thanks for the help Guilherme - you are correct.

Our problem was that the page was created in a space that did not have public access, and then moved to the public section. It seems that the attachments retain the original permissions. Once we deleted and readded the attachment with the page in the public area, anonymous users were able to download.

Thanks,

Martin

how to setup confluence, jira, bitbucket server with subdomain on IIS server
Asked by Ziane Djebbari:

Hello there

I do have the 3 instances of JIRA + confluence + Bitbucket Server up and running on their own ports. I did setup the dns routing in our network to link the requests to the same ip address. I would like to have those 3 great applications serving using their own sub-domain. i.e.

JIRA ==\> http://jira.inernal.account

confluence ==\> http://confluence.inernal.account

Bitbucket server ==\> <http://git.inernal.account>

I did try to follow the existing how-to available on your web site, but I was noty successful doing that.

I did try both the Apache connector 1.2 and the ARR, I do have them both installed but not of them is doing the reverse proxy.

Regards.


Answers:
author: Steven F Behnke
body: You'd really need to provide more details, like logs of errors or posting your apache/iis configuration. This is a fairly normal procedure but it's completely non-specific to Atlassian products.

Is there anyway to create a jira issue from a confluence team calendar?
Asked by Alicia Miller:

This would be really awesome if it can be done. I can't find a way to do it though.


Answers:
author: Guilherme V.
body: Hi Alicia,

Let me share a note from this doc: <https://confluence.atlassian.com/teamcal/add-jira-events-241566244.html>
Notes

* You can't add content to JIRA calendars as they source all of their date information from the JIRA system. To add issues and version deadlines, add them in the JIRA application's interface.


author: Peter Milakovich
body: Not within the calendar itself. But if you are displaying the calendar on a page within confluence, you can always add a link to JIRA for a specific project/issuetype. If you use the project/issue type that is being pulled into the calendar, it does the trick.

```
http://corporatejira.com/jira/secure/CreateIssue.jspa?pid=13401&amp;issuetype=11600
```

You can leave it as a simple link, or jazz it up with a nav button or image.


author: Boris Georgiev [Appfire]
body: I don't think that's possible.

Upgraded to 5.9.5
Asked by Elena_Lurye:

Do we need to update licenses when we upgrade to 5.9.5 (from 5.8.4) ?


Answers:
author: Alex Yasurek
body: No, the current license you have will work. Your license pays for the amount of users you can have, not the version of Confluence you use. You can upgrade whenever you want if you have a hosted version.

comments: author: Elena_Lurye
body: the funny thing is, the SEN number I see now on DEV after the upgrade - doesn't match our SEN number I see under our Atlassian licenses. When I try to submit a support request and enter this SEN number - I see the following message -

**This license is for a different product ('plugin').**

I updated license again with developer license number - it doesn't change anything...


author: Alex Yasurek
body: Try going to <https://my.atlassian.com/product> and getting the developer license from there. Every time I have upgraded our instance the license just carries over so I have not experienced this issue.


author: Elena_Lurye
body: Tried... I reapplied the developer license again (just in case) and still get the same SEN (unknown to support)...


author: Elena_Lurye
body: and this number looks like evaluation number - "SEN-L\*\*\*\*\* ", but support information listed correctly till next year..


author: Alex Yasurek
body: I do know when I go to create a support ticket that only my production instance shows up and not my developer instance. Do you also have a production instance or just a DEV instance?


author: Elena_Lurye
body: we have both dev and prod, but upgraded only dev today.

Our Gliffy diagrams don't get edited either from view mode or edit mode (after upgrade), so was submitting a support request. And noticed that our SEN is not found (when I submit a request, I usually provide SEN number)


author: Alex Yasurek
body: I would use your production instance to create the support ticket if it works and then mention in the description that you are also having issues with the license on your DEV instance. At least this way you can in contact with someone there.


author: Elena_Lurye
body: right. Alex, thank you very much for all your help!

Will wait from support now..
