Asked by starfestival administrator:

I want make group who has authority as below (ex. for company officers)

1. grant permission for all pages (include limited pages)

2.no permission any system-admin pages

which permission is appropriate?


Answers:
author: Igor M.
body: Hello,

If you are talking about Confluence self Hosted platform, then such restriction is not possible from [Global Permissions](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/global-permissions-overview-138709.html).

You need to add the group to [Space Permissions](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/space-permissions-overview-139521.html) for any Spaces you want them to manage and add to Default Space Permissions if you want that group to be included by default into any Spaces created in the future.

We have many Spaces (over 150)

So I had searched quickly solution (originaly function for Permit)

I will do as you advise(make group and add all spaces)

I'm grateful.


author: Igor M.
body: Hello,

Thank you for letting me know, 150 spaces is a lot to edit. There is no native bulk edit option, but you should be able to speed it up by using third party plug-in [Confluence Command Line Interface](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/org.swift.confluence.cli?_ga=2.90989402.1724702128.1565591585-1984725730.1542970419).

You can check out [CLI documentation](https://bobswift.atlassian.net/wiki/display/CSOAP/Documentation) on how to use the plug-in, **addPermissions** seems to be the one that can do it.

You can also use \`localhost\` or \`127.0.0.1\` in place of \`mail.nochricht.de\` if you are running Conflunce on same server (using internal IP is best) in \`ProxyPass\` and \`ProxyPassReverse\` config.

Change customer view of Knowledge Base
Asked by Chantel Coffman:

Is it possible to give customers the same view of the Confluence Knowledge Base as we see as Admin Users? We would like for them to be able to see this left hand column listing all of the available articles instead of having to only rely on the Search feature (the search feature seems to only show them 3 items at a time). I've been poking around in settings and googling answers, but I seem to be going down a rabbit hole.

I attached a screenshot of what we would like them to see when they log into the system via the Jira Service Desk. These would be non licensed users.

![image.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/63193iA16C7538EBBA6A56/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "image.png")


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hello Chantel,

Thank you for contacting us.

In order for your Jira Service Desk customers to have the same view as Confluence users, then they would need to also have a Confluence license. With the Jira Service Desk customer license, they will only be able to use the Confluence features as they are available via Jira Service Desk.

Another option for you would be to [set your instance to be open to anonymous users.](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/setting-up-public-access-934718729.html) Note that if you do this, you will need to lock down any individual spaces that you do not want them to access. Another thing you have to be aware of is that if your users are logged into Service Desk, they will no longer have anonymous access.

A feature request that deals with that problem is below:

* [CONFCLOUD-30161](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-30161) *Allow unlicensed, authenticated users to have anonymous read-only access*

Let me know if you have any questions about that.

How to add mailto: in Footers
Asked by Mark Storey:

I want to include an email address in the footer of my space (format=mailto:distribution_list@adomain.com).

If it's possible, what is the syntax I should use? I tried the format listed above, and it just appears as text.

TIA for responses.


Answers:
author: Igor M.
body: Hello,

Try adding int into square brackets into Footer section of Space Look and Feel settings:

\[mailto:distribution_list@adomain.com\]

See [Confluence Wiki Markup](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/confluence-wiki-markup-251003035.html) for more details.

Regards,

Igor

comments: author: Mark Storey
body: Igor,

I appreciate your reply.

I used the format shown, but the email isn't active, i.e. it's not a hyperlink. It just displays \[distribution_list@adomain.com\], and I'd like for it to be an active link.

I was able to add it in a section of current pages, but that's not as 'handy,' as having it as a formal 'Footer,' on our pages.

Was I hoping for too much, :) or did I enter it incorrectly?

Thanks.

Mark


author: Igor M.
body: Hey [@Mark Storey](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3524938) apologies for the late reply,

This is odd, I was able to add email as the footer of every page by going to **Space Tools \> Look and Feel \> Sidebar, Header and Foote** r and pasting **\[mailto:distribution_list@adomain.com\]** into a **Footer** .  
In my space it appeared as hyperlink:

![Screen Shot 2019-09-16 at 15.06.40.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/66463i4A24E9F3CB47B851/image-dimensions/340x171?v=v2 "Screen Shot 2019-09-16 at 15.06.40.png")

Are you sure you used the markup with ":" instead of "=" and "\[\]" instead of "()"

Also, check if you do not have any global HTML or Footer added that would be overwriting space local one.

Regards,

Igor


author: Mark Storey

Answers:
author: Kris G _Alacriz_
body: First of all, please try to make sure that your Team Calendars' version is compatible with your upgraded Confluence's. If not, make it so by updating the app version.

Second, make sure that you have a valid license (commercial or evaluation to start with) of the app. Your screenshot suggests that it has expired.

Third, if none of the above works, uninstall the app and install it afresh. Do not worry about the data as it will be preserved. But make sure that you try these steps in a non-prod environment first.

Error rendering macro 'excerpt-include' in Confluence
Asked by Susan Ostreicher:

Recently I've been seeing an error like this on Confluence pages:

<https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/error-rendering-macro-excerpt-include-no-link-could-be-created-for-756941815.html>

This article suggests that the error is because the page is removed, restricted, or missing the excerpt macro, but this doesn't seem to be the case. I'm able to fix it by opening the macro, deleting the page containing the excerpt, and then re-entering the same page containing the excerpt.

Not all instances of the excerpt-include macro are throwing this error, and I haven't been able to find a pattern to the ones that do. Are there any other known reasons why this might happen?

Thanks for your help!


Answers:
author: Jan van Zoggel
body: I had the same issue with 2 of 10 excepts from page A which I could not include. Until I noticed that the 2 with error were renamed initially. So while page A shows the new naming, I could only include them in page B with the old excerpt naming otherwise I would get this error.

Throwing the 2 away, re-creation and it worked.

Maybe it helps


author: Fabienne Gerhard
body: Hi [@Susan Ostreicher](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/7907) - I had a pretty similar problem and found the solution in restrictions. You may check them again. (Even if it sounds strange when recreating pages... which fix the problem) Did you try access with different users?

comments: author: Susan Ostreicher
body: Thanks, Fabienne! The page containing the excerpt did not have any restrictions, so I don't think that was the issue.


author: Carina Bj?rndahl
body: I have the same issue.   
Everytime I change the page-name or edit certain objects on the page the space-key is lost in the macro (pagename is still there) - rewrite the space-key and the excerpt include macro is working.


author: Carina Bj?rndahl
body: I found what was causing the problem with the macro in my case - The document name/title contained a colon. The macro then worked as long as you did not change content on the page.

Auto Create child pages with Macro
Asked by Casey Cain:

I am trying to set up a macro that can automatically create child pages as a part of the template. Is there a way to do that?

The goal is to have a page tree would look like this:

* Community Events
  * 2019
    * Event 1
      * Topic Proposals
      * Schedule
      * Planning Meetings
    * Etc...

I would like to have a macro that creates the event and the subpages. The event and subpages would have some template information on it as well, like a table for example.

Right now it is my intent to put a "Children Display" macro on the "Community Events" page and use a "Simple Excerpt Display". Then put a small excerpt on the "Event" page with the date range and location.

However, if there is a way to automatically create a table on the Community Events page and sort by the event date (range) like this:

Event \|\| Location \|\| Dates \|\| Links (To the child pages) \|\| Notes (To be added later)

That would be ideal.

If there is any way to do this, I would appreciate some guidance.

Edit note \* I've discovered that you can't have the same page name in a space?! Soooo. That's... "unfortunate". I guess I need a suggestion for that too...  
Maybe "Topic Proposals for $eventname", etc.

Thanks in advance!

  * If you are using \`Page Tree Macro\` there is \`Show Expand/Collapse Links\` (aka expandCollapseAll\` set its value to \`true\` to expand full tree.
* If you are on Sidebar
  * Go to Space Tools (bottom of sidebar gear icon) -\> Look and Feel -\> Sidebar, header and footer
