body: HI  
Using the app descriptor file I am able to register webhook in Confluence Cloud and able to receive the JSON data as soon as an event is performed in Confluence.  
But I noticed that the user who is within the administrator group was able to set webhook and other users were not.  
I searched for the same but didn't find anything on Confluence Documentation.  
So is there any restrictions with scopes regarding Webhook setup. If yes can you please provide me with the document link.

Picture with other name and face ;)
Asked by Eva-Zsuzsanna.Laszlo:

We use Confluence Version: 5.9.5 and some user did the picture to the page, in the way like above.

But the confluence shows an other person in thumbnail.

![wrong_picture_20191126.jpg](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/74085iB1BEEFD265F66807/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "wrong_picture_20191126.jpg")

```
 <a class="conf-macro output-inline userlink-0" href="https://xxxx-man1" title="">
<ac:image ac:class="userLogo logo" ac:height="250" ac:thumbnail="true">
<ri:url ri:value="https://sxxxx-man1/10518916/user-avatar"/>

<ac:image ac:class="userLogo logo">
<ri:url ri:value=xxxx-man2/>

and so one

```

We found an workaround with Picture profile macro, but it I think it is in interesting question, why do confluence show a woman insted of first man. ;)

Is there any way to set user specific view/custom dashboard for every user in Confluence Cloud?
Asked by Sadaf Mufti _105601_:

Currently, I can set a welcome page that would be visible to every user holding account in our confluence cloud. I cannot see the possibility to set the landing page based on user profile or personas. For example, interest varies for different user groups. Leadership might be interested in just status reports and organizational processes kept in our knowledge base whereas other groups would be looking into some other stuff.

As an admin, I would like to set different landing pages for different users/groups. How can we achieve that? Is there a feature available in cloud or anything planned like that in your Roadmap?

Sadaf Mufti

Welcome to Atlassian Community. It's nice to meet you!

I believe that by *dashboard*, you may be referring to a site homepage. Can you confirm?

If so, it's only possible to [set one homepage for the Cloud site.](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/configuring-the-site-homepage-724765517.html) However, we do have a few feature requests that are below that could help with this, if they were to be implemented:

* [CONFCLOUD-41102](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-41102) *Ability to Set Confluence Homepage Based on Groups*
* [CONFCLOUD-57901](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-57901) *Re-introduce custom site homepage per user in Confluence Cloud*

Please vote on the requests you'd most like to see, and you will be automatically added to the list of watchers. You will then receive updates in the future if there is any progress.

Let me know if you have any questions about that.

Regards,

Shannon

comments: author: Sadaf Mufti _105601_
body: Yes [@Shannon S](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/510046) By dashboard, I meant the Site Welcome/Home Page. We need to have it configured based on logged in user's interest or at least specific to a user group with similar needs.

I have voted for the mentioned feature request tickets. Is there any way around available today until we have the features enabled by Atlassian team?

Regards,

Sadaf Mufti


author: Shannon S
body: Thank you for confirming that!

There's nothing specifically that I can think of that you can do to change that; Confluence Cloud is restricted in that you aren't able to change as many of the built-in behaviors like you would be able to in Confluence Server.

Perhaps you could build a specific space for each topic, and have the users manually visit the space that applies to their group or interest?

Shannon

Export to word
Asked by Ajeet Kumar Sachan:

How can I export a complete space (tree) of pages into word format. I want to export parent with all child pages


Answers:
author: Thomas Rough _K15t_
body: Hi Ajeet,

Had you considered using a third-party app to export content from Confluence? We (K15t) develop the app [Scroll Word Exporter](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/24982/scroll-word-exporter-for-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=overview) which allows users to export a complete space, a specific page tree or a specific page depending on the export scope you require.

Our app applies a template (of your choice) to your Confluence content during the export process so that you can define the look and feel of the generated Word file (eg. add a title page, style your fonts and tables etc). Would this be of interest to you? The app is available on all hosting types ie. Cloud, DC and Server.

Let me know if you need any further information.

Cheers, Thomas (K15t)
Localhost:8090 no longer available

Hi!

I installed Confluence Server yesterday and everything was fine.

After shutdown, I powered up the pc again today and I cannot reach the localhost:8090.

The Atlassian service starts and then stops automatically, I checked everything and I did not see anything.

Delete group from default workspace settings
Asked by nos_admin:

Add a group to default workspace access settings. It is wrong group. Now i can not delete it, because it say it need one group that is admin rights.

Of course the confluence-administrators is part of admins, but i can not add any other group.

Any idea, how to delete it?


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hello [@nos_admin](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3652044),

Welcome to Atlassian Community. It's nice to have you!

In order to remove the *confluence-administrators* group, then you need to do the following.

1. Go to Confluence Administration \> Groups (admin/users/browsegroups.action) and click **Add Group** . Add your new group here (if you have not done so already.) Click **Save**.
2. Go to **Global Permissions** section (admin/permissions/globalpermissions.action) and click **Edit Permissions**.
3. Under **Groups** where it says **Grant browse permission to** , type the name of your new group. Click **Add**.
4. Now make sure to click the boxes to grant global permissions to the new group. This group will now have full administrative rights over the entire Confluence instance. It requires this in order to replace *confluence-administrators* group completely.
5. Scroll down and click **Save all**.
6. Go back to **Groups** and click **Delete** next to *confluence-administrators*.

I have tested this and confirm it works on my Confluence 7.0.4 instance. If you still encounter the error, can you show me your Global Permissions settings and let me know your confluence version?

Shannon

Generally, you'd be able to create a User Macro or to modify the code directly, but as you mentioned, you are on Cloud, so neither of which are possible.

You may be able to get a similar behavior from the various [table add-ons in Atlassian Marketplace](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/search?_ga=2.193511725.188572898.1574628872-1642555208.1571221417&hosting=cloud&query=table%20).

author: Christoph Bratschi

Search and Update
Asked by Kevin Saffarian:

Hi all

I am pretty sure many of you, similar to me, use confluence to document your IT assets and procedures.

All those pages has references to asset names or addresses and if the asset is decommissioned, you probably need to update all the references, like by adding "(decommissioned)" in front of the asset name or address.

Although, this is possible to search for the occurrences of specific text and update references manually, one by one, this task can be painstaking.

I was wondering is there any way to search for occurrences of specific word, like "SRVSQL01" and do all or any of the following tasks automatically:

* format the text (ex, add a red background color)
* add a comment on the word
* add a link to the text (like referring to decommission process)
* strike-through the text

Or if you have any other experience in such occasions, please share.

Thanks in advance

Kev

I hear you on the lack of features on the current table editor in the new Confluence. From my understanding, the former editor had a lot of issues that needed to be fixed.

With the new editor, we are working to correct those issues. Many features are being completely rewritten from the ground-up, but are slowly rolling out the new editor so that you're still able to use it in the meantime. The team is working on a lot of new features and including customer feedback in these, so stay tuned by following the roadmap I sent you earlier.

I'm happy to hear that it will be a released feature soon! In the meantime you could use [table add-ons from Marketplace](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/search?hosting=cloud&product=confluence&query=tables) if you find any features are missing that you need to get your work done.

Let me know if you have any questions about that.
