Tons of unwanted Users after Space Import
Asked by Friedemann Wagner:

After we imported a space from a vendor to our own Cloud we imported all of their users. There is no way to stop that as the xml of vendor cannot be changed.

Now we have to manually delete all those users.

<br />

Next the this issue with a lot of manual work the more important question is how this behaviour can be avoided in future.

In my opinion this is already a data security issue. I am talking to one guy from vendor and suddenly i have 100 ish mail adresses from their company. This cant be wanted by Atlassian.

Could you pls. check this and let us know?

Thanks a ton

Friedemann

body: I would suggest reaching out to [Atlassian Support](https://support.atlassian.com/contact/#/) to see if there is some workaround. AFAIK importing will include all associated data which includes users.

Access to Confluence Space
Asked by Marine Tm:

Hello,

Is it only the confluence administrators to give a user access to the confluence space, or the administrators of the space can also do it?

Thank you.


Answers:
author: Pavel Junek
body: Hi,

If you are set up as a Space Administrator, you can control those accesses to your space yourself.

Links not taking to the destination on Confluence 7.4.8 version
Asked by Roja Gurram:

Hi Everyone,

I have a page with a number of different links to other spaces. People copy that page in their own spaces and use it as a template to submit their solution designs for review. The links in the original page work fine, but when it gets copied over when the users click the links a new empty page is created instead of taking them to the intended destination. Is this a bug or have I used the wrong type of link ?

Please drop your comments on the same ! Looking forward to hear from the same.


Answers:
author: Laurens Coppens
body: Hi Roja,

You might want to use blueprint or templates instead, but regardless of that, if they use the confluence link macro it should just keep on working.

But this also depends on how they copy it over.

Using templates seems the better option here instead of copying over the pages.

Hope this helps,

Laurens

Auto updating site-list with specific tag/label/content
Asked by Florian:

I am looking for the right plugin/macro:

I want to create a list of links to sites containing specific content (compare "Page overview"), but i want to avoid (global) tags or labels. The list should be auto-updating.

This is one of the things that labels are for. In some cases, it's their primary function.

Your requirement is absolutely screaming "use labels and the content-by/relatedpages macros that work off labels"

\> i want to avoid (global) tags or labels.

Why?

comments: author: Florian
body: ...Because of the huge number of required labels. I dont want to flood our confluence instance with our very specific, space/project-related tags.

Or do i miss the part where i can set labels to work only for one space or site only?

Access permissions for content manager
Asked by Kathryn Reddie:

Hi,

I am currently the Confluence Administrator, but I manage the content rather than the technical platform.

We need to remove my admin access to things like the troubleshooting and custom HTML, but leave access for global templates, restricted content and the ability to see and access all content.

Any ideas on how we can do this? We're still on server, not cloud.

It seems to be either an all or nothing type of admin access re Confluence administrator or Systems administrator - but for my purposes, they don't seem to be much different.

We've also just tested, and are about to release to PROD the upgrade to 7.12.3 ...

Thanks in advance.  
Kathryn.


Answers:
author: Kishan Sharma
body: Hi [@Kathryn Reddie](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1117666) In confluence, currently you cannot grant permissions based on roles. You can restrict view/edit of pages based on users and groups. I would recommend you to vote for [this suggestion](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-33932) and watch it for updates.

comments: author: Kathryn Reddie
body: Thanks, but I was after the back end admin permissions, not page permissions.

Any thoughts on if there is a way to separate the admin functions out into more of a content administrator and systems administrator set-up?

author: Kishan Sharma
body: Hi [@Kathryn Reddie](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1117666) Apologies for getting back late on this. You cannot separate out admin functions currently, but you can explore third party plugins on [Atlassian Marketplace](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/). eg: [Space Permissions Handler for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1212648/space-permissions-handler-for-confluence?hosting=server&tab=overview)

i want to recover confluence content images
Asked by ???:

hello.

I had installed and used confluence server in my synology nas since 2019.

but after I moved into another place, I couldn't access my confluence.

so I backed up my confluence local directory and DB data thanks to Piotr Zadro?ny.

but I couldn't find and recover image files in contents yet.

I couldn't find image files in the local directory, so I assume image data is in DB.

anybody knows how can I recover my image files?

please help me. thank you


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Confluence has not been able to store attachments in the database for many years.

I very much doubt you installed an old enough version in 2019, so there's every chance that your images were stored on the disk as raw files, not in the database.

They would have been in \<confluence-home\>/attachments - if you did not backup and restore the files in that directory, then I'm afraid your images are gone.

comments: author: ???
body: i tried to search the "attachments" file in docker. but i couldn't find the folder in the directory even root;;;;

i have used it until march 2021, there was no broken image in documents.

if the directory doesn't exist.. how it can be? omg

i think my last hope is making port accessible again, i think its not that easy also


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Just to be certain, have a look at Admin -\> Attachments - this will tell you the full location of the attachments if you're struggling to find it.

If you didn't back up the attachments directory, then I'm afraid you have lost all the attachments.

I cannot find code block in confluence macro

The help center document I found is here: <https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/insert-the-code-block-macro/>, but it seems out of dated


Answers:
author: Hana Ku?erov?
body: Hi [@Tham Giang Triet](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4506310) ,

welcome to the Atlassian Community!

In the documentation there's info:

This macro was intentionally excluded from the new editor and replaced with the Code Snippet element.

This is what I think is happening in your case too - you need to use Code snippet.

comments: author: Sune M?lgaard
body: I am sorry, Hana, but no.

No, I do not "need" to use the Code Snippet; I need to be able to start line numbers at something else than 1 (or not showing them).

In essence, what I \*need\* is the former Code Macro, that has now, intentionally(!), been removed.

What I \*have\* to do, however, is write a bitter comment on the page in question, that Atlassian has removed the functionality that I need, and that I must now ask the readers of said page to do some mental gymnastics that are at odds with what is actually shown to them.

Can I customize the links that point to my space, to my documentation?
Asked by Jesica Avenda?o:

I would like to know if it is possible to customize a link, for example:

I have

Answers:
author: Matt Reiner [K15t]
body: Hi [@Jesica Avenda?o](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4505423)

You could also try my team's app Scroll Viewport. The app not only lets you set a custom URL, but also theme your content as a branded help center. It's what we use for help.k15t.com.

<https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1211636/scroll-viewport-for-confluence>


author: Sven Schatter _Lively Apps_
body: Hi [@Jesica Avenda?o](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4505423),

This is not a functionality Confluence offers by default. There are however apps on the Marketplace that can help you achieve this. For example, you could use [Custom Links for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1225707). If you have any questions about it, I'm sure [@Remie Bolte](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/510274) will be happy to help. :)

EDIT: If you want to offer your users a true documentation experience though, and not only link to your Confluence pages, I'd definitely recommend giving Scroll Viewport a shot, as recommended by [@Matt Reiner \[K15t\]](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2246048)!

Cheers,  
Sven

Confluence and Java requirement
Asked by Kathiresan Malarvannan:

We use the following Atlassian Confluence products (server, HTML, ThemeBuilder, Comala Workflows).

Wanted to find out if Java (JRE or JDK) required to use the above mentioned products  
is bundled with the product and included in our Atlassian Confluence license.

Please let me know.

Thanks,  
Malar


Answers:
author: Daniel Eads
body: Hi [@Kathiresan Malarvannan](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4505752) , welcome to the Community!

In addition to the installers (.bin and .exe files) bundling a JRE, you can easily check *which* version is bundled on the [Bundled Tomcat and Java versions](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/bundled-tomcat-and-java-versions-1005786018.html) page in our knowledgebase.

The exception is the archive file (.tar.gz), which does not bundle a JRE and instead uses whatever JRE is default on the system. If you happen to have an install running from the archive file or plan to go that direction in the future, you can check which JRE/JDK versions are supported on [the Supported Platforms page](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/supported-platforms-207488198.html) for whichever version of Confluence you are looking to install.

author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: HTML is not a product, it's a markup language - do you mean you have some app that mentions HTML?

Themebuilder and Comala workflows are apps that run on your server. You don't care about the Java version for these, it only matters for the Confluence that you add them to.

All the supported (and quite a lot of the older versions) all bundle an appropriate installation of Java with them. So a standard download/install (and in fact upgrade) will give you a valid JVM for the Confluence version you are installing.
