Permission Confluence
Asked by Stanislav:

If there is a plugin or a different decision to solve my proble.

I want restriction that only a specific user can see a page inside the space. But user should see only one page that he is allowed to watch and all other pages in this space is invisible for him.

Appreciate any help, thanks.


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: There's nothing that will do it in the way you are imagining. The cascading permissions and restriction system in Confluence is coded into the core and you can't just bypass it.

What you'll really need is something that can publish the page without exposing others. I would look at the apps provided by Scroll and Comala for doing that sort of thing.


author: James Conway
body: Hi [@Stanislav](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4204478)

As [@Nic Brough -Adaptavist-](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/781454) explained, the cascading permissions and restrictions system is something that is core to Confluence. He was kind enough to suggest that an app such as Comala Document Management may help.

You can use Comala Document Management to define a workflow for your content. You can set different view / edit restrictions for each stage of your workflow.

How to show only table rows with date >=now or >=today
Asked by Daniel Keel:

Use case: page properties report used for 'Upcoming Events'

How to show only table rows with date \>=now or \>=today

I have a page properties report table and a table filter around

How to filter the table to show only rows where in column 'Date' the date is today or in the future?

Thanks for help in advance

Regards  
Daniel


Answers:
author: Katerina Kovriga {Stiltsoft}
body: Hi [@Daniel Keel](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1430909) ,

You've already found the solution yourself: use the "today" expression.

Here is the whole table and today is 12 Feb 2021:

Here I filter dates that are \>= today:

Here I filter dates that are \<= today:

![Fri 1-3.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/130225iD7B998B3AEE5BCE6/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Fri 1-3.png")

And here I filter only today's dates:

Is it legal to share one Jira account across multiple employees?
Asked by Uvuvwevwevwe Onyetenyevwe Ugwemubwem Ossas:

In work which I decided to leave I know they use one Jira account for multiple employees as the boss does not want to pay for an extended plan. Is it legal to do stuff like that?


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Generally, no, it's not legal to do that. It's a breach of your agreement with Atlassian, but in many industries, more importantly, it's illegal (for accounts with any form of write access) because of the compliance and governance laws on tracking who may have done what.

I don't think anyone is bothered if you do it for read-only accounts (after all, you can make Jira anonymously accessible), but under no circumstances should you do it with an account that can write anything.


author: Alexis Robert
body: Hi [@Uvuvwevwevwe Onyetenyevwe Ugwemubwem Ossas](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4262228) ,

for Jira Server this is allowed, however it's not a great idea as the goal of Jira is to be able to track who works on what.

For Jira Cloud however this would not be allowed.

Let me know if this helps,

--Alexis

placekeeping when switching to edit mode
Asked by MB:

When switching to edit mode, the cursor moves back to the top of the page. When will it be possible to start edit mode on the exact spot in the page? In other words, when I am 3 km south in the page, switching to edit mode takes me back to Start, and I have to start scrolling a long distance, to find that area in the page again. It's timeconsuming and irritating. The anwer is to leave the page in edit mode all the time, but that is no good.


Answers:
author: marc -Collabello--Phase Locked-
body: [@MB](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4262252)Confluence Cloud does not support staying in the same location.

comments: author: MB
body: thanks... that would mean to stay in edit mode all the time, if you want to avoid this nuisance. Other than that, another question has now been created:

When you are talking about Confluence Cloud is that something else than Confluence? In other words, is there a version of Confluence that runs on a different platform, where edit mode does not have this type of behavior?


author: marc -Collabello--Phase Locked-
body: There are different versions of Confluence: Server (deprecated), Data Center, and Cloud.

The editors can differ between versions. However, if you are on Cloud, you are stuck with the editor Atlassian provides.

Copy card to another board
Asked by Martina:

I thought by copying a card to another that any changes made to the card in either board a or b the changes will reflect automatically.

This is not the case unless I do something wrong

Design of UI Tabs changes
Asked by Sofia Hassiotaki:

Hi all!

I used the UI Tabs Macro and it works fine. But sometimes, when I reload the page, the tabs just change to a different design (see picture), This happens regardless of the navigation bar being expanded or not.

Did someone else ecounter this? I actually like this design more and would like to use this one.

Thanks in advance!  

![UI Tabs.PNG](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/130155iD76F69749E191F21/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "UI Tabs.PNG")

It's probably on Refined to fix it with Atlassian's help. <https://docs.refined.com/space/REFINEDTOOLKITDC/3770832702/UI+Tabs> My Confluence admin says it's a known bug. I'll just set my users' expectations and hope the problem gets fixed!

comments: author: Emily Wagoner
body: We have this problem as well. Some see as tabs, some see as bubbles/capsules.   

Upvoting this for a Refined Toolkit fix!


author: Michael Arnold
body: Not to necro this post, but this is the only mention so far of this alternative tab design that I've found after searching online. That bubble design currently appears on one of my pages but I can't seem to replicate it on other pages. I'm curious to learn what triggered it or if there is a way to adjust the settings for the UI Tabs macro.

Can i add a own Domain to a space or whole Conluence cloud?
Asked by Nico:

A own domain looks more professional, is there a way?


Answers:
author: Matt Reiner [K15t]
body: [@Nico](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2496250)

You can create a public site with a custom domain using our app [Scroll Viewport](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1211636/scroll-viewport-for-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=overview). Here's an example: <https://help-cloud.k15t.com/scroll-documents/>

comments: author: Steve P
body: Hey [@Matt Reiner \[K15t\]](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2246048) i know this page is a little dated. But I'd like to ask is there a way to display the spaces in Confluence to Jira?


author: Matt Reiner [K15t]
body: [@Steve P](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5455938), you're not able to display an entire space, as far as I know.

But you can link Confluence pages to Jira issues or paste a link to a Confluence page in an issue and set the Smart Link to display as a page. Maybe that helps?


author: Steve P
body: Thank you for this! Hey Matt! Ive discovered a way, rather I was helped how to do this. They need to be both on the same domain. and then you go to the project. under that project go to Project Settings. And then Knowledge Base. And then Link Space. and add the spaces that you have already created in confluence.

So now we have a Knowledge Base where a ticketing system is used (Jira).

And we have a Knowledge Base that serves as a help center with the use of Scroll View Port.


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: There is no way to do that yet. See <https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CLOUD-6999>

Is it possible to have a survey open to pubic with the Multivote&Enterprise Survey for Confluence?
Asked by David:

I saw in survey permissions that you can list users or groups for who is authorized to vote but can you make it open to the public?

Thanks,

DB


Answers:
author: Dennis Fischer
body: Hi [@David](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/551101) ,

could you provide a bit more detail on what "public" means? Do you mean anonymous users or the possibility that any logged-in user can vote?

From a technical viewpoint, we will not be able to provide the option to vote for anonymous users anytime soon.

If you refer to "public = any logged-in user", then this is something we did not consider. I've created a story for this suggestion <https://tngtech.atlassian.net/browse/SURVEY-724>.

Let us know if you have any additional questions.

Best,  
Dennis

comments: author: David
body: Hi Dennis,

Thanks for your quick response.

Yes, my user was thinking for anonymous access.

I searched your documentation and there was no mention of it anywhere. It may be a good informative idea to add a simple sentence explaining this in the permission area.

Note: I could not vote for the issue you created above.

Thanks,

If you refer to voting for anonymous users, we currently do not offer this functionality. Also, we have no plans to offer this functionality anytime soon.

Could you please tell us a bit more about your use case? If such a survey type would be available, the survey would be anonymous and anybody would be able to complete the survey multiple times.

Best,

author: rafael.adler
body: Hi Matthias,

thanks for coming back to me. We want to host some internal surveys and ensure that nobody pays attention to the voter's role in the company.

Best,  
rafael


author: Matthias Bertsch _TNG Technology Consulting_
body: Hi [@rafael.adler](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5009171),

This sounds like you are looking for anonymous surveys, which is different to voting for anonymous users. Anonymous surveys are possible.

In anonymous surveys, answers cannot be linked to the respective users as we do not store any connection between the user and the answer. We only store who answered and which answers were given. Therefore, even survey administrators cannot link answers to users.

You can find more information about anonymous surveys in our [documentation](https://tngtech.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/VOTE/pages/3232628737/v4.3.1+Settings#(1)-Set-survey-as-anonymous).

Best,

Can you change the default Publish option?
Asked by Margaret Fero:

The publish button that appears by default doesn't prompt the user to enter a version comment, though they can enter a version comment by selecting "Publish with version comment..." from the ... menu. We want to strongly encourage version comments, so I'd like to change the default button to "Publish with version comment..." so that users have to go the more inconvenient way around to publish without one (I'd also be fine with them being unable to publish without a comment).  

I found some topics about the Publish with version comment having initially not been in the new editor and being added back later, but nothing about whether I can change the default.  

Does anybody know if it's possible to change?

Why does my Jira Gadget in Confluence show during edit, but goes blank after publish?
Asked by Brad Lackey:

I'm trying to add a Jira gadget to a Confluence page. The gadget shows up fine when I initially add it when the Confluence page is in edit mode. And usually when I then first publish it it shows up fine. But then if I do a refresh, the frame remains but the gadget content goes away. Does anyone have an idea why this might be happening? Have I maybe missed a specific setting somewhere?

![Screen Shot 2021-02-11 at 3.55.13 PM.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/130067iC669D792782F3205/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Screen Shot 2021-02-11 at 3.55.13 PM.png")

I don't see anything in the Confluence "General Settings" with regards to allowing gadgets from elsewhere. However, when I am in edit mode and go to Insert/View More/External Content, all of our Jira gadgets show up there and appear to be available for use.

We're on Jira Cloud. Thanks in advance!
