Unsubscribe from Daily Digest
Asked by Anna:

Hello,

I'm trying to disable the daily digest e-mails but I can't find a way to do so. I thought it would be in my e-mail settings but it's not.

Can anyone help me out?

"Create Confluence page" automation with for blog post instead space page
Asked by Kerli Loopman:

I want to make an automation with weekly scheduled trigger, that creates new Confluence blog post on a certain template with title containing next weeks dates.

I read [Use Jira automation with Confluence \| Cloud automation Cloud \| Atlassian Support](https://support.atlassian.com/cloud-automation/docs/use-jira-automation-with-confluence/#--createdPage--) tutorial, but it doesn't say anything about blog posts.

I tried an automation, but it allows to create page but not blog post, as I can't see blogs parent pages in option.

Is it possible to create a blog post instead of page to Confluence with automation?

Thanks!


Answers:
author: Trudy Claspill
body: Hello [@Kerli Loopman](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4003497)

You might be able to do that through an automation rule using the Send Web Request action and using the Confluence REST API for creating blog posts.

Is it possible to use groups from Jira in Confluence?
Asked by Malte Redmann:

I want to use my groups from jira in confluence too. But I only found the option to create new "teams".

Is there an option to transfer the groups from jira into confluence?

Thanks in advance.


Answers:
author: Alex Koxaras _Relational_
body: [@Malte Redmann](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5053795)

What exactly are you looking to achieve?

Groups created in Jira can also be found in Confluence. However group creation is made by a central point, admin.atlassian.net. To have access to this, you have to be a site admin, which according to what you posted here, you are.

comments: author: Malte Redmann
body: Hi [@Alex Koxaras _Relational_](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4150197) ,

Thanks for your reply.

I just found the option, I searched for. I wanted to give the users different permissions to sites in confluence as I did it in Jira with permissions for projects.

At first sight I only found the option to "create teams" but not using created groups. But through your help I could better understand the system and the structure behind confluence.

Thanks for this. Have a great day!

Malte

how to create a chart from page property report
Asked by Claudia J. Lara:

how to create a chart from page property report

thanks

Answers:
author: Katerina Kovriga {Stiltsoft}
body: Hi [@Claudia J. Lara](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4739110) ,

To create a chart from Page Properties Report, we can suggest the [Table Filter and Charts for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/27447/table-filter-and-charts-for-confluence?tab=overview&hosting=cloud&utm_source=atl_community&utm_medium=answer&utm_campaign=table-filter-traffic-sources&utm_vendorID=1216111) app and its [Chart from Table](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/TFAC/How+to+use+Chart+from+Table+macro?utm_source=atl_community&utm_medium=answer&utm_campaign=table-filter-traffic-sources&utm_vendorID=1216111) macro. This add-on is developed by our team.

Our macros support dynamic tabular Confluence macros such as Page Properties Report, Jira Issues, Content Report Table, etc.

comments: author: Venkatanathan Ramamurthi
body: Hello, I tried to wrap the page properties report with "**the table filter macro** " and on top of it I am using the "**charts from table**" macro to create a pie chart. However, I am getting the following error.

I do understand that the **"table filter"** macro is different from the "**Table Filter, Charts \& Spreadsheets for Confluence**". I want to know if the option I am trying will work or not.

Could you help on this.  

*![image.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/328765i25488FA96093A39C/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "image.png")*


author: Stiltsoft support
body: Hi [@Venkatanathan Ramamurthi](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5516267) ,

As we see from your screenshot, the Table Filter macro gives an error that the source table can't be filtered and instead of a proper table coming from the Page Properties Report macro we see its code snippet with the macro settings.

So, please refer to [our support](https://stiltsoft.atlassian.net/servicedesk/customer/portal/14) to look into the issue closely.

The portal is confidential, so please attach the screenshot of the table coming from the Page Properties Report macro (in a published state without any other macros).

Also attach the page storage of your master page with the Page Properties Report macro and one of the pages where the Page Properties macros are located. To get the page storage, go to the upper right corner of the page -\> menu ... -\> View storage format. If you don't see the option, please ask your Confluence administrator to do it for you.

And if you are not on Confluence Cloud but on Data Center, please define the current version of the app as well.

Migration issues
Asked by SaravanaKumar:

author: Mayur Jadhav

You would need Confluence Administrator access in Server and Site Admin access in Cloud in order to migrate the data from server to cloud for CCMA. I don't think so you can migrate without admin privileges.

How to find all pages with view restrictions
Asked by Matthias Born:

Hello community!

We are migrating 500++ spaces from server to cloud with thousands of view restricted pages (page restrictions, not space permissions).

For some REST API scripting tasks I need access to all these pages.

Does anybody has an idea, how

* I can find all view restricted pages and
* Add view/edit restrictions for a user or a group?

Don't get me wrong: I know how to find restricted pages in the space admin section. But only one by one. I also know that a space++ administrator has the right to give himself access to every page. Again: One by one.

But that's not feasible. We are talking about 2000++ pages I can't see.  
What I need is a bulk action to find all these pages.

Any ideas?

Thx!

Matthias


Answers:
author: Sayed Bares [ServiceRocket]
body: Hi Matthias,

Welcome to the community!

To find the view restriction, you might want to consider <https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/rest/v1/api-group-content-restrictions/#api-wiki-rest-api-content-id-restriction-get> and for adding restriction you might want to consider <https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/rest/v1/api-group-content-restrictions/#api-wiki-rest-api-content-id-restriction-post> by querying all of your 2000++ pages

comments: author: KC Wong
body: That is useless if you are not already included in the restrictions.

Even if you have the space permission to administer and modify restrictions, if you are not already in the page's restrictions, you don't even see the page.

The REST API to get all pages will not include restricted pages you don't have access to.

The REST API to modify restrictions will return 404 as if the pages don't exist. Not to mention they need the page ID in the path which you cannot get with other REST APIs.

Is there a way to change the username of a guest account?
Asked by Kristen Cote:

We've just started to use guest accounts for single spaces as described here: <https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/invite-guests-for-external-collaboration/>. We've noticed that there doesn't seem to be a way to set the guests' username, so it ends up being "@guest_test.test" for example.

Is there a way to change this?


Answers:
author: Alex Koxaras _Relational_
body: Hi [@Kristen Cote](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4455955)

Guest is currently on Beta version and may not include all possible functionalities. However, if you have invited that user as a guest, then from user management you can "suggest changes".

![suggest edit.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/221831i7AB172C4F7BF1575/image-dimensions/379x299?v=v2 "suggest edit.png")

comments: author: Alex Koxaras _Relational_
body: The above will be valid if that guest was at least one time user. If it is a guest from the first time, then probable the "suggest changes" will be greyed out, and I don't think that you can change anything. They have their own atlassian id and they should change it.

Can we exclude a sub page from page tree?
Asked by pradeepa:

Page tree index has added to the parent page having many sub pages, I want to exclude one subpage from the index. Is it possible to exclude selected sub pages?


Answers:
author: WW
body: The easiest way to do that is to add page restrictions so that not all users can view the page.

If you want people to be able to view the pages but want to make it harder or have more control over user navigation, you could (*at least in Server/Data Center*) put them at the root level, or the same level as where the home page usually is. Then they won't show up in the left navigation panel unless they're on that page. Granted the other pages at the root level will then appear in the left panel.

Page Properties Report Macro - sort by title column
