Can I enable a user by page but do not give permission as individual or group in space?
Asked by Fuad:

I want to enable the page to a user but not giving permission to the space as group or individual.


Answers:
author: Rajath Veeramanchala
body: Hi Fuad,

You can configure a group and only members of that group will see your space and then add the user only to the page you want him to view. Since he is not part of the group that can view your whole space, he won\`t see other pages in your space apart from the once you gave him access to. You can also view restricted pages under space tools \> permission \> Restricted pages.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Rajath

body: Hello, [@Fuad](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1932544)!

A page is in a space so there's no way you can avoid configuring space permission.

Consider the following configuration:

![Example.jpg](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/32030i2585CA36435E0990/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Example.jpg")

You can achieve this with the help of page restrictions and their inheritance.

Why a user has access(view) to other space but not given any permission to him/her?
Asked by Fuad:

I have set the user permission to access only a certain space but the user can view spaces that is not given permission to him/her


Answers:
author: Suren Raj
body: Hi, Fuad.

Can you check the following and let us know the result:

* Is the user added in any group? By default, the user will be added in the confluence-users group
* Check if the group is given permission to view other spaces? (Spaces where the user should not access)

You also may refer to the below documentation **"How to grant access to one space only to a user in Confluence":**

How to upload an add-on from my computer?
Asked by elsa li:

Hi there,

I just registered for a trial, and have troubles of installing an Scroll Viewport add-on from my computer.

I did a little search in the community, apparently my trial is Cloud, so when I upload add-ons, it only provide one option: upload from an URL.

I saw the comments in other questions says a JIRA Server Installation is needed, but did not know how to do it.

Does anyone know how to upload add-ons from my computer?

Thanks very much.


Answers:
author: Suren Raj
body: Hi, Elsa.  

You should be able to install the plugin from **Manage add-ons page.**You may navigate to the following URL and install the plugin:

But in the Atlassian Market, there are a bunch of scroll add-ons except the Scroll Viewport add-on.

Which one should I install to build a help center for customers?

Find a draft document
Asked by Martin Bevan-Jenkins:

I can't find a draft blog post I made with the new confluence look. I started it a couple of days ago and my recent work has pushed it beyond the recent work list. The help page shows an old version of confluence and refers to a section called "My Drafts" that doesn't exist anymore.


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hi Martin,

The documentation is now available here:

* [Create, edit, and publish](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/create-edit-and-publish-724764831.html)

> Drafts {#toc-hId-1824704272}
> ----------------------------
>
> If you've started scribbling and you're not quite sure if you're going to do anything with it, you can just close the editor without publishing. Confluence autosaves as you go, so this creates a draft -- an unpublished page or blog post that you can get back to at any time by heading to **Your work** \> **Recently worked on** from your sidebar. Drafts display a **draft** badge next to their titles.

Let me know if you have any trouble with that!

Regards,

Shannon

Macros Available in Confluence Cloud
Asked by Charisma Riley:

I discovered recently that the HTML macro is not available to Cloud users. So, my question is, of the macros listed [here](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/macros-139387.html "Atlassian Confluence Macros"), which are also available in Confluence Cloud? Appreciate the help! Thanks!


Answers:
author: Suren Raj
body: Hi Charisma.

I am afraid HTML macro is not available for Confluence Cloud (only for Confluence Server) as outlined in the [Restricted Functions in Confluence Cloud.](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/restricted-functions-in-confluence-cloud-734070955.html)

There are a variety of third-party add-ons that do just that in Cloud though, such as the one recommended here: <https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/105047/enabling-html-macro-in-confluence-ondemand> , or this add-on: <https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/biz.artemissoftware.confluence.html.HtmlMacro/cloud/overview>

The documentation provided by you is referring to confluence server, not confluence cloud. You may refer to below documentation for macros available in confluence cloud:

* <https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/macros-724765157.html>

Let us know if you have any further question.

Adding Resource Files to Confluence
Asked by Charisma Riley:

So, I am looking into using both CSS and JavaScript to customize our Confluence Cloud installation. I understand now that in order to use custom resources, one must build a Web Resource module. The question I have, then, is how do I upload the resource file(s) to be used and how do I retrieve the link to the resource so that Confluence can use it? The same would go for a Code formatting module: how and where are the languages that we want to use installed so that the cloud can use the resources? Or do we need an ISP to host these files separately and then call them through the internet? I'm looking for more specifics, I guess. Sorry for the newb question--I appreciate any clarification on how resources are added! Thank you!


Answers:
author: Shawn C
body: Hi Charisma,

I'm afraid that we do not have the ability upload or use any custom JavaScript or CSS to modify the instance or its experience as they are [Restricted Functions](https://confluence.atlassian.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=734070955) at least in the Atlassian Cloud Environment.

If you are looking to build custom themes for a Cloud Instance, I'd recommend taking a look at [the Theme Options](https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/theme/) with the Atlassian Connect Framework. Once you've created your Connect Theme, you can share it with others on the [Atlassian Marketplace](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/).

Confluence Cloud Operating System and Libraries
Asked by Charisma Riley:

Hi there! I've looked through almost all of the Atlassian information I can find about the cloud-based infrastructure, but I am looking for something I'm not finding, namely:

* The operating system my instance of Confluence is hosted on
* The programming languages, related libraries, installation locations, and versions that are also installed on that server
* And whether we can call on these libraries and languages when customizing Confluence--and if not, how we can import our own languages and packages into Confluence to use

Not sure this information exists anywhere, but as a new cloud user, I am unused to having access to these resources, so I would like to know what I have to work with when building this out. One of the reasons for my questions: my company also runs SharePoint, and I am pretty interested to know if both Confluence Cloud and SharePoint are on Windows servers. Compatibility and customization options become much more likely on Windows, obviously. So if anyone knows these answers, please share!


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: One of the points of using a Cloud system is that you simply do not care about the back-end, as all of it it handled by the provider for you.

And, none of it matters to you, because you do not, and will not, have any access to any of it.

But, to answer the questions, it's Linux, Java (with jsp, velocity, soy and other supporting libraries), and a postgresql database behind it.

Versions will vary, but you don't care about those either, because you can't call on any of it.

For customisation, you have essentially three options -

* Things you can change as an administrator in the UI (system stuff is irrelevant because Confluence doesn't let you get to it)
* Adding Apps written by 3rd parties (system stuff is irrelevant because someone else is running it)
* Adding your own Apps written by yourself (system stuff is irrelevant because you can run it on whatever platform you want and only talk to Confluence over its remote API)

comments: author: Charisma Riley
body: Nic, this is \*exactly\* the kind of answer I was looking for! The cloud-based world is coming into focus for me a little bit at a time. Thank you so much for your response!

Illegal character in the page title and url prevented page from rendering
Asked by Smeng9:

Our team uses square brackets \[\] to high light the page title in the Confluence, and the square brackets is also included in the HTTP link of that page. When we choose to open a page through page tree, everything worked fine. However, when we put the HTTP link of the page in the address bar and hit enter, the page doesn't render.

There is an issue in the url parser. When Confluence creates the HTTP link in the address bar when navigating to a new page, it needs to be escaped.

### Below is the stack trace {#toc-hId-1627474071}

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: java.net.URISyntaxException: Illegal character in path at index 12: /display/SD/\[....................................

caused by: java.net.URISyntaxException: Illegal character in path at index 12: /display/SD/\[..................................  
at java.net.URI$Parser.fail(URI.java:2848)

Another issue. Can someone take a look at the no image displayed issue? There hasn't been a reply for a while. Thank you.

Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: You should stop using invalid characters in the page titles. Square brackets have to be encoded to be valid in urls, so either train your users to encode them properly in the titles or stop using them.

Does Confluense support hyperlinks to network locations?
Asked by Peter Cohen:

I am trying to insert a link to a network location in the format:

\\\\drive.com\\root\\directory

Somehow I get the impression that Confluence does not support this type of link.

Of course, equally possible I don't know what I am doing.

Anyone who can point me in the right direction here?


Answers:
author: Mikael Sandberg
body: The link should have the format file://///unc/path/to/folder/ to link to a network folder. This should work automatically if you are using Microsoft Edge or IE11.  
For Chrome or Firefox you would have to download a plugin in order to get it to work, since they by default do not allow local links:

Chrome: <https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/enable-local-file-links/nikfmfgobenbhmocjaaboihbeocackld>  
Firefox: <https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/local-filesystem-links/>

comments: author: Peter Cohen
body: Hello Mikael,

Thank you so much for your response.

I tried it to no avail! Apparently, the implementation in my office doesn't allow links to network locations for security reasons. Why? Search me!

Thanks again,

Peter

How to modify pages systematically which already exist in Confluence?
Asked by Jarrett Ford:

I have already been provided information on how to create pages so all have certain content going forward....which is using templates. My question is how can you alter all pages in a space to have certain content systematically which already exist in Confluence?

My goal is to have all pages current and future to have certain content on the bottom of each page.

Thanks in advance.


Answers:
author: Sattesh M
body: Hello Jarrett,

If the purpose of this is to add certain content at the bottom of the page, for all pages, would adding a footer work?

![footer_text.PNG](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/32522i1874C2C22071069E/image-dimensions/329x92?v=v2 "footer_text.PNG")

Albeit, this does not get added to the page itself, but to the bottom of it, it should display on all pages.

You can find the documentation on how to add this below

* [How to edit the footer in Confluence](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/how-to-edit-the-footer-in-confluence-163415355.html)

I am getting an error when importing a confluence space
Asked by Emma Nguyen:

I am moving a space from one confluence instance to another, but I keep getting an error and nothing gets imported.

Please advise.


Answers:
author: Dave Theodore [Coyote Creek Consulting]
body: What's the error? Are both Confluence instances the identical version? That is a requirement. The easiest way to tell is to scroll to the bottom of any page in Confluence and you will see the version at the very bottom. If they aren't the same exact version, you will need to get them to be the same and then try again.

Create roadmap from existing sprint plan in XLS
Asked by Viraj Kanwade:

I want to load our 9 months sprint plan into a roadmap view. Adding bars manually, placing them in correct sprint and resizing them is too tedious task.

On load, the interface calls <https://constructsecure.atlassian.net/wiki/rest/tinymce/1/macro/definition> API which returns the data as URL encoded JSON string. Is there any way to convert my xls to a JSON, import it and create the roadmap with it?

title, startDate, description, duration provided in JSON format.


Answers:
author: Viraj Kanwade
body: I came up with a hack solution (see if it helps).

Open Confluence in Google Chrome

Open developer tools in popup out mode

Edit the page with roadmap (or insert a new roadmap)

Open the edit mode of the roadmap

In developer console, in sources tab, right click on 'top' and select 'Search in all files'

Enter search string 'click #toolbar-button-add-bar'

Click on the search result to open the file in sources tab. (Click on {} to beautify the source)

Locate the 'onAddBarClick' function

Add a breakpoint inside the function

In the roadmap edit screen, click on '+ Add bar'. This should hit the breakpoint.

In developer console, go to console tab and enter

```
var myThis = this;
```

Switch back to source tab and click the run button

Switch back to console

Enter the following functions

```
var myAddBar = function (laneIdx, title, startDate, duration) {
 var d = myThis.model.get("lanes").at(laneIdx);
 var c = d.get("bars");
 var g = myThis.model.get("timeline");
 var f = new Date(startDate);
 //var h = g.get("displayOption") === Roadmap.TIMELINE_DISPLAY_OPTION.MONTH ? moment(f).startOf("month") : moment(f).startOf("isoWeek");
 var h = moment(f);
 c.add(new Roadmap.Bar({
 title: title,
 duration: duration,
 rowIndex: d.getNumberOfRows(),
 startDate: h.toDate()
 }))
}


var myAddMarker = function (title, startDate) {
 var g = myThis.model.get("markers");
 var d = myThis.model.get("timeline");
 var h = moment(new Date(startDate));
 //var c = d.get("displayOption") === Roadmap.TIMELINE_DISPLAY_OPTION.MONTH ? h.date(15) : h.isoWeekday(4);
 var c = h;
 g.add(new Roadmap.Marker({
 title: title,
 markerDate: c.toDate()
 }))
}
```

Now you can add a bar programatically with

```
myAddBar(1, 'task 1', '2018-09-13 00:00:00', 1)
```

The laneIdx is the index of the lane starting with 0

The duration is dependent on what ever you have chosen in 'View by' view. 1 for 1 month or 1 week.

You could create you plan in a JSON or simple array format, paste it console, write your own function which loops on the array and calls the corresponding functions.

```
var m = [
  ["Sprint 1", "2018-08-27 00:00:00"],
  ["Sprint 2", "2018-09-10 00:00:00"],
  ["Sprint 3", "2018-09-24 00:00:00"],
  ["Sprint 4", "2018-10-08 00:00:00"],
  ["Sprint 5", "2018-10-22 00:00:00"]
]
```

```
m.forEach(function(mr) {myAddMarker(mr[0], mr[1])})
```

Unfortunately, the [RSS Feed Macro](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/rss-feed-macro-139431.html) is only available in Confluence Server versions, and not Cloud.

We do have a feature request below requesting support for this macro in Cloud:

* [CONFCLOUD-57869](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-57869) *RSS Feed Macro for Confluence Cloud*

I also tried to see if there were any [RSS feed add-ons for Cloud](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/search?hosting=cloud&product=confluence&query=rss%20feed), but there have not been any created at this time.

My suggestion would be to have a look at this [HTML Macro for Confluence Cloud](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1212279/html-macro-for-confluence-cloud?hosting=cloud&tab=overview). It appears you may be able to use it in order to embed content from another site.

Please feel free to give that a try and do let us know if you have any questions.

Answers:

body: Regarding templates: You may disable templates you do not need on site-level and promote templates you use more on space-level.

For the first you need to go to the administration and select "Global Templates and Blueprints". Disable the blueprints you do not use in your company.

For the second go to the space administration and select "Content Tools" and then on the first tab "Templates" use the promote button for the templates you like to make more visible.
