Is there a way to add guest group to space permissions ?
Asked by Rapha?l NORYNBERG:

Hi,

I'v tried to do so but, Confluence says "Test guest permission is a guest group and cannot be added as an internal group.".

Which is very frustrating because I have to manage every single guest permissions however they belong to the same group...

If anyone knows if there is still a way to do that ? (Or if this feature will be added since it seems the "Guest permissions" is a BETA)

Thanks in advance

Guests are still in BETA as you stated correctly. In guests you can only work with individual users, only in the specific section:

How to include (only) certain table rows in a Multiexcerpt and insert them into another page.
Asked by Jeffrey King:

I'm trying to build a 'summary' table on one page that pulls in values from certain (but not all) rows on multiple other data tables on other pages. The goal is to allow the data to be changed on the data pages and have the changes reflected on the summary table page.  

The only mechanism I've found for sharing the data this way is the Multiexcerpt and Multiexcerpt Include macros. These work OK for simple situations like sharing a link or a chunk of text. They even work so-so for including an entire table as long as you select some text above and below the table when defining the excerpt. I can also build and include excerpts for each table cell - though this is tedious and looks ugly.

Where this falls short is just pulling out some rows of a data table and including it in the summary table. I don't want all rows and I don't want to mess with individual cells.

In general, I've found the Confluence editor to be very lacking when working with tables. Am I missing something here? Should I be using some other editor?

Or does anyone have suggestions on how to excerpt rows of a table into another page.

Thanks and regards.

I want to set up a custom space template
Asked by Judy Forrister:

I want to create a Space template (not page) to ensure that specific pages and headings are included in Spaces for early life support of different applications so that we always get the information we need.  

Is there a way of doing this? I saw something about copying a space that could then be edited but I don't seem to have that option in any of my space settings.


Answers:

body: Hi [@Judy Forrister](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4298757) ,

From what I've read, there is still ongoing work regarding creating templates and[copying spaces](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-3191). I hope we will see this feature soon.

Does Confluence use 3CXDesktop VoIP Software (video-conf app) which has known vulnerabilities?
Asked by pinny.tam:

On Wednesday, March 29, 2023, multiple security firms issued warnings about malicious activity coming from a legitimate, signed binary from communications technology company 3CX. The binary, 3CXDesktopApp, is video conferencing software available for download on all major platforms. Rapid7's threat research teams analyzed the Windows installer and confirmed that it is downloading and executing malicious DLL files. A suspected North Korean threat actor dubbed Labyrinth Chollima gained access to and backdoored the software distribution process for 3CX. This supply chain attack known as 'SmoothOperator' leverages malicious access that was delivered to customers through the auto-update mechanism of the software.

Add images with has been cropped on the mobile phone

Email Notifications
Asked by Peter Job:

Email notifications are only received when certain users are making changes to the page. Is it possible to change a setting so that an email notification is sent when any change is made by any user?


Answers:
author: Kishan Sharma
body: Hi [@Peter Job](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5188724)   

Welcome to the Atlassian Community!  

When you want to stay up-to-date and in-the-know about content on Confluence, you can use the **Watch** feature. When you watch something, Confluence will send you a notification email about any changes to your watched content.  

To start watching a page or blog post:

1. Go to the page or blog post.

2. Select the and check **Watch page** .  

You can read more about it here - [Watch pages, spaces, and blogs](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/watch-pages-spaces-and-blogs/)

comments: author: Peter Job
body: Hi Kishan,

Thank you so much for the quick response! I have added several members of my team to the watchlist on a page, but they are telling me that they do not receive any email notifications when changes are made, even after adjusting the email settings in their profiles.

Is there an overall admin feature that disables email push notifications? I am not sure why they are not receiving emails when changes are made. Appreciate any help!


author: Kishan Sharma
body: Hi Peter,

Yes, Confluence Administrators can turn email and push notifications on or off for their instance. Select(Settings) in the Confluence navigation then select **Further Configuration** to manage these settings. Please check if this is turned on/off currently on your instance.


author: Kishan Sharma
body: Hi Peter,  

If email/push notifications are turned on already, the Jira Administrator for your instance needs to open a support case directly with Atlassian Support to find out if the users' emails have been blacklisted/added to suppression list due to some reason.

Empty Task Report & Table Transformer
Asked by codadevbu:

Hi,

I'm having problems getting multiple task reports working in one table transformer. Since each task report ist limited to 40 entries and only can display one assignee, I tried to limit entries by creating one task report for all incomplete tasks for each subpage. With this workaround I can list all tasks for the team and do the needed filtering with the table transformer, which is wrapped around all task reports.

Now with this rather clunky workaround I face another problem, which I haven't found a solution yet. If one of those multiple task reports is empty the whole table transformer runs into an error. It seems like an empty task report is returning nothing, instead of an empty table. Trying to fix this issue with the sql command, e.g. for Table 1 "if not exists(select \* from T1)" returns a typeerror. So the sql-usage seems to be limited.

Is there a way to solve this issue? An empty task report has to return something at least, as it shows "No incomplete tasks" when used without the table tansformer.

Thanks for your help!


Answers:
author: Katerina Rudkovskaya [Stiltsoft]
body: Hi [@codadevbu](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5188622),  

Not sure what your current SQL query looks like but here are some hints for you: as your Task Reports have the same headers, you may merge them using the standard "Merge" preset via the Table Transformer macro. The SQL query that stands behind this preset is "SELECT \* FROM T\*", so we don't call any specific tables (T1, T2, T3, etc.) and it is not important how many tables we have.  

Then you go to the Table Transformer macro settings -\> Options tab -\> Source data: Hide all content. Here we get rid from the information blocks that appear if there are no any suitable tasks for the specific Task Report.  

So, as a result, you'll get one combined table.  

To filter and/or transform it further, you may use another Table Transformer or Table Filter macro on top of the first Table Transformer macro.  

Hope this workaround helps your case.  

By the way, you may also browse the Atlassian Marketplace and find some apps that will enhance your experience with tasks and reports.  

For example, our company also develops the [Handy Macros for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1214971/handy-macros-for-confluence-formatting-and-interactive-ui?hosting=datacenter&tab=overview&utm_source=atlassian-community&utm_medium=answer&utm_campaign=handy-macros-traffic-sources&utm_id=1216111) app -- you may check its [Handy Tasks](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/hmfc/server-dc/handy-tasks?utm_source=atlassian-community&utm_medium=answer&utm_campaign=handy-macros-traffic-sources&utm_id=1216111) feature.

Can't login with my business account
Asked by Jurgen Croes:

If you've not got access to the recovery key for your account you should also be able to recover your account by following the below steps:

1. Try to log in
2. On the screen asking for your 2-step verification code click on Can't use your phone?
3. On the next screen click on Can't find your recovery key?
4. After 24 hours you'll receive an email from us with a link you can use to log into your account without 2-step verification.

Once you've done this, I'd recommend following the steps on this page to disable 2-step verification - <https://support.atlassian.com/atlassian-account/docs/manage-two-step-verification-for-your-atlassian-account/#Disable-two-step-verification>
