Unfortunately, the REST API for **Confluence Cloud Questions** has been deprecated as outlined in our latest update [https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/](https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/ "latest update")


author: Thomas Deiler

Confluence - who receives email notification?
Asked by Jay:

We have about 50 users. How can I make sure everyone is receiving notifications when a question is asked?


Answers:
author: Fabienne Gerhard
body: Hi [@Jay](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1371478) - I totally agree with [@Bastian Stehmann](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1186496) - another idea would be to integrate Questions on your dashboard and/or on every Space starting page. Make questions present for everyone :)


author: Bastian Stehmann
body: Hi [@Jay](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1371478),

I don't think, that you can make sure that everyone receives the notification by an administrative setting. If your users do not look at the questions, this is more a cultural problem, that you want to try with software. And this usally does not work good.

In my opionon there are two ways to achieve what you want, but both includes your users.

\* Every of your users can use the "Watch All" Function and will then be notified of new questions.

\* Or you tell your users, that they should have a look at the questions regularly.
Is there a way to provide delete permission to a specific user for Questions?
Asked by Yaacov Weingarten:

We have a user who is our "Top expert" in Questions. He is not an Administrator of the Confluence Spaces, but needs to permissions to delete answers, identified as SPAM, from the Questions. How can I provide this ability without making him a Confluence administrator?


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hello Yaacov,

In Confluence Questions the only way for a user to be able to delete other questions is indeed to be a Confluence Administrator. See [Questions for Confluence Permissions](https://confluence.atlassian.com/questions/permissions-407724476.html) for more details.

We have a feature request at [CONFSERVER-48392](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-48392) asking for more granular permissions for Questions. Please vote on the request to show your support and add a comment there with your use case.

Thank you for your understanding!

Questions for Confluence (Cloud) - performance and integration
Asked by MGear:

We want to try the cloud product, but have following questions

* How performance looks like? e.g. any performance limitation on the number of questions/answers/comments
* Are there any API available for import/export questions/answers?


Answers:
author: Daniel Eads
body: Hey Kevin,

Unfortunately there's no API for the Cloud version of Questions for Confluence right now. Once upon a time we did have one (and some documentation you can still find points to one) but a re-architect of the app on Cloud left it without a user-accessible API.

However, as far as I know there are no limits on the number of questions, answers, or comments you can have. We have many questions on our own instance at Atlassian that go very deep! One use-case example for us is generating questions to ask during on-stage events - each question for the person on-stage is an Answer, and people vote on which ones they want to get raised on-stage.

Cheers,  
Daniel \| Atlassian Support

P.S. I saw your question about Slack integration as well and am looking to get you an answer from a product manager!
Using Confluence, how can I create a space which people can type in questions and then select user
Asked by B:

Dear Atlassian community experts,

Please can you assist me in creating a space within confluence where people can type in questions and click a submit button. The question should then be sent via email to a specific person so that they can answer it and ideally question and answer should then appear on a faq page in confluence. The person who asks the question doesn't necessarily know who would answer it, thereby I would like to put an algorithm (drop-down menu) that automatically sends questions from a certain category to a certain person.

Thank you guys very much!!

3 places for Questions is confusing my users and they are not getting notifications of all questions
Asked by Burke Autrey:

My users are entering questions in the QC space and in my FW space. It's confusing because they aren't watching both spaces and I can't make them watch both. You'll see below that I'm referring to two recent questions... a "Deltek" question and a "Procurement" question. I see both in the globalQuestionsViewer link but only see one or the other when I go to the questions page in the QC space and FW space. I REALLY need to prevent them from going to multiple places to ask questions.

Which should I pick and how do I restrict them from going to the other one?

<br />

\*this one shows the top experts, has both questions and appears in the FW space.  
https://\[company\].atlassian.net/wiki/plugins/servlet/ac/com.atlassian.confluence.plugins.confluence-questions/globalQuestionsViewer?ac.com.atlassian.confluence.plugins.confluence-questions.path=/questions-bootstrap

Answers:
author: Burke Autrey
body: Adding to my own question... Seems like what I'd need to be able to do is "hide" the question section in ALL other spaces besides the Questions space. To do this I would need the ability to change the style sheet to remove the space picker when the user is asking a question and I'd need to remove the "Questions" link in the sidebar of the space.

But I don't think I can do any of that because I'm on Cloud. Right?

Build user community using Confluence and JIRA
Asked by Shengyu Chen:

I really like how you guys created this Atlassian Community for FAQ, Forum, interest groups, user guides, playbook and everything. From what I have observed, everything seems to be built on top of Confluence and JIRA core with customization. I'd like to build something similar for my product. All my product documentation, cases + tickets are on JIRA + Confluence. So far I will just keep this community to the product partners ( people who will deploy the product and manage the product at client for us). My basic use case is to:

1. Have a gated access to these support documentation/resources for these users

2. Give some of these professional services team the ability to create FAQ documents themselves on an ongoing basis.

3. Have some landing page + navigation similar to your community page

4. Hopefully in the future, build the reddit like forum or your forum for more types of users including clients themselves.

I am wondering if these use cases are feasible? Where and how should I start?

Thanks a bunch!


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Actually, no.

The last version of Community (called Answers) was Confluence Questions. This platform is "Lithium"

Lithium doesn't have much integration with the Atlassian products. If your users are working in Jira and Confluence, I'd strongly recommend continuing there and looking at adding Questions and maybe service desk for your end-users.

comments: author: Shengyu Chen
body: Thanks for the fast reply. Is this the Lithium you are talking about? [https://www.lithium.com/products/online-communities/](https://www.lithium.com/products/online-communities/?)

From the screenshot that was provided, it seems pretty plain and boring though.


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Yup. Atlassian have some developers customising it for us. But it is independent of their products - the only integration so far is the ID system (Atlassian accounts)
What DB Table Are "Questions for Confluence" Questions Stored In?
Asked by Bill:

Title pretty much says it all. I'm hoping that someone can just give me the name or I'll end up having to explore the entire schema looking for it :)


Answers:
author: Daniel Eads
body: Hey Bill,

I realize this question is a year and a half old at this point, but just wanted to provide an answer.

The tables for Questions for Confluence are stored in the database with the prefix **AO_B1DBB9** . We have a large [list of the AO table prefixes and the plugins they go with on this Community article](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Marketplace-Apps-Integrations/How-to-check-your-Add-On-app-database-usage-Active-Objects-AO/ba-p/1043944).

Additionally, if you've still got a particular plugin installed that you're curious about, you can navigate to the following URL on your server instance and get a a breakdown of what tables are used by which plugin in Confluence:

```
https://<your-confluence>.<your-company>.com/plugins/servlet/active-objects/tables/list
```

Cheers,  
Daniel

Is there a moderator function in Questions for Confluence?
Asked by Muri ?Thomas? Muranaka:

I would like to manage tags (rename, delete, add to or remove from questions) and edit questions and answers as a Moderator. But it seems that you need to be Confulence Administrator to do that. Or am I missing someting?


Answers:
author: Fabienne Gerhard
body: Hi [@Muri "Thomas" Muranaka](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1646418) - welcome to community.

according to documentation the only way to edit questions, change topics etc. is for experts - [see here](https://confluence.atlassian.com/questions/permissions-407724476.html#Permissions-AllowexpertstocuratequestionsandanswersRepBasedPermissions) or when you're admin.

Our solution is - we created a questionmaster as an account for questions only. Questionmaster is admin and can post questions (which arrive via mail or postcards (you're reading right, people in production don't have computer access)) change topics aso.

Maybe something similar to this you can create an account that answers questions called Moderator (with admin rights).

comments: author: Muri ?Thomas? Muranaka
body: Thank you for your reply. So there is no other way to have Questions moderators without granting them admin permissions. Would like to see this in a future update!


author: Fabienne Gerhard
body: I'm totally with you - another solution might be an individually programmed solution....

Only other solution is to open **Reputation Based Permissions**and users can earn points which they need to make different actions like topic changing, downvote etc. See link above :)

thank you for the quick reply and the information.

can I doublecheck with you?

i have 2 spaces : space 1 and space 2.

i have a calendar. the Related space = space 1.

that calendar is also visible on space 2.

that means earlier, someone performed action "add an existing calendar" in space 2 and selected a calendar from space 1.

i want to clean up space 1.  
are these the right steps?  
1. go to space 2, go to the calendar, Select ??? , select Remove.  
2. go to space 1, go to the calendar, Select ??? , select Edit, Change the value in the "Related space"-field from 'space 1' to 'space 2', Save.  
3. delete space 1

Thank you for your question! Are you using [Team Calendars for Confluence \| Atlassian](https://www.atlassian.com/software/confluence/team-calendars)? Team Calendars is a premium feature for Confluence (afaik for Confluence Cloud and DC only) and therefore might not work for your use case.

We are using Team Calendars, yes, so it should work. It embeds and shows the existing events but doesn't show anything new I add via Outlook.
