Display the result of the "content by label macro" in a table
Asked by Maxime Lecoq:

Hello,

Here is what I am after. I would like to be able to have return a list of the pages sharing the same label in different rows.

To return a list of pages sharing a label, this is easy the content by label macro is here for me.

However, my question is: Is there a way to display each page returned by this macro in a different row of a table?

E.g.:

Page1 and Page2 are both labelled with "tagA"

Is there a way to display Page1 and Page2 in a table such as:

++Row \| Page \| Comment (added manually by me)++

1 \| Page1 \| This is my page 1

2 \| Page2 \| This is my page 2

author: Davin Studer
body: It sounds to me like what you want is the page properties and page properties reports macros. The way it works is you put a page properties macro on your page with a table inside that has key/value pairs. Then on a report page you put a page properties report macro on that page and specify a label. The report macro will find all the pages with that label and will create a table with each page being a row and the key value pairs in the page properties macro being columns in the report. See below screenshots.

Confluence API - how to remove user?
Asked by Rafal Kaminski:

Hi all,

I struggle with Confluence (Server) API. I see all user from it in one group, I can see all groups. All is ok. But I wish to manage it somehow by API. I wish to add group or remove old user. Is it possible?

I'm doing it by Ruby script but it doesn't matter, because I think API doesn't have option to manage users by API. Am I right?

Thank you for any help and answer.

Best,

Rafal


Answers:
author: Lei Wang
body: Hello,

I understand that you are looking for REST API in Confluence server for user management purposes. Unfortunately, the Confluence REST API for this purposes has not been built yet. There is a request open to add user management to the REST API for Confluence:

<https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CRA-563>

Please vote for it so it will get more attention from the development team. You may also comment to emphasize your use case.

how to grant access to only one user in confluence by restricting the whole organisation
Asked by Vamsi Krishnan:

I want to give access to a space to only specific users. And by default want to restrict access of view to rest of the organization. I can only see restrict view option. I want the vice versa. Is it possible in Confluence?


Answers:

body: Yes. In the space permissions, make sure only your specific users have "use space" permission. Remove all the other users and groups.
Ghost Attachment?
Asked by Franz Dumrath:

Hello everybody,

this is my first question here so please be patient :)

I am trying to delete an attachment. The problem is that this attachment seems to be some kind of ghost. I can find it using the search field, and click on it and view (or in this case download) it in the search result, so it exists somewhere.

![2017-11-10_10-15-05.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/9171iF8E320D70F619B12/image-dimensions/503x307?v=v2 "2017-11-10_10-15-05.png")

But it doesn't show up as attachment on the page it is (according to the search result URL) linked to.

![2017-11-10_10-23-53.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/9172iC1BB1A03A1A23B47/image-dimensions/503x306?v=v2 "2017-11-10_10-23-53.png")

If I try to insert a link to the file in the original page, the link appears but does not work (a "#" is appended to the URL).

One possible cause is that the original page it was linked to was been split into several subpages.

My main question is: How can I remove that "ghost" attachment completely from Confluence? I don't want to appear it in the search results.

Thank you in advance!

Franz

Can I invite the user again who I deleted before?
Asked by ???:

I invited a user, after few minutes I deleted...

I want to invite the user again with the same email account,

but the user can't receive a invitation mail...

What should I do?


Answers:
author: Max Foerster - K15t
body: After deleting and recreating a user the invitation mail should be send out again (as mentioned here in the last sentence <https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirakb/how-to-re-send-invitation-emails-for-new-jira-users-779160875.html> ).

Do you face any other issues with sending emails? If you invite a different newly created user will the email be sent? If you want to spare yourself that testing, just create the user and send them their account information/credentials yourself.

Is there any way we can create a "Meeting notes index" manually?
Asked by Abbas Heidari:

Hi,

There is a [bug with Confluence at the moment which prevents creating an index page for any blueprint](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-57863).

add it to your space shortcuts and there you go
Can't add new user
Asked by jun.terada.ke:

Hi.

When I regist a new user account, Confluence don't regist the user.

Then error Message is displayed. The cause section of error message is "com.atlassian.confluence.core.InsufficientPrivilegeException: User \[confadmin\] does not have the required privileges.

author: jun.terada.ke

Thank you for your reply.

You are right. There is no "confluence-users" group.

I would have deleted "confluence-users" group, because I am the only one who manages Confluence any more.

I think that it was an accident, but I'm ashamed to do such a thing.

Anyway I was helped. Thank you.


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: No. That is not right.

You tried to do something in the right way, and ran into a problem that you could not know about, and that is not your fault.

There's no shame in running into a problem that someone else caused. If I were you, I would be proud, not ashamed. You have made a lot of Atlassian stuff work for your users, you are trying to fix all the things that are not working, and you're asking when you get stuck. When asking for help, you give us the information we ask for.

I wish I'd had admins like you for the last \<many\> years.
Directly attach a file to Outlook that is stored only in Confluence (how to?)
Asked by Mauri Sutton:

Normally I open an outlook message. Browse my PC to find the attachment I want, and then send it to someone.

Now we store many docs exclusively in Confluence. But the person I am sending to does not use Confluence.

I'm with the Comalatech team, and we have an app that might solve your problem.

[Comala Share It](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.keinoby.confluence.plugins.share-attachments/server/overview) lets you create shareable links you can send to users outside Confluence. When they open the link in a web browser they'll see your content rendered exactly how it is inside Confluence. This way you can simply email people links to your content.

Let me know if I can answer any questions about it for you.

Reverse-Engineering an old software into JIRA
Asked by Oliver Gindlhumer:

Hi,

I am interested in switching our very old fashioned SW-development process to JIRA and according to what I have already learned, I would best do this using JIRA Software, Confluence and Bitbucket, as well as some JIRA-addon for testing. I generally am convinced, that this is pretty much precisely what our development process needs, as our software is a medical product and requires compliance with the standard ++IEC 62304.++

However, what I am concerned about, is the process of integrating our software into the system and kind of reverse-engineer the link between software-requirements and specifications, as well as tests and their results.

I am yet to try this and the solution might be very simple, however I wanted to get a professional opinion about this, before I blow hours of work, that wasnt even necessary.

In fact, the software, we are speaking about is over 20 years old and has constantly grown into countless numbers of different functions.

THanks in advance and best regards,

Oliver


Answers:
author: Aron Gombas _Midori_
body: Oliver, I think you should ask more concrete questions to expect more useful answers.

To integrate your old software with JIRA (if this is what you mean), you can use the REST API or the Java API (P2 plugins) offered by JIRA. Both are proven, so you can rely on those.

comments: author: Oliver Gindlhumer
body: Thank you for your answer.

Apologies for the lack of detail in my question. I thought it was clear enough to make sense, but youre right here.

<br />

Here is a more concrete attempt:

The software, we speak about is a medical device, hence complies with the standard IEC 62304 (Lifecycle of medical device software). Since I do have separate (non-JIRA) processes for tasks such as Risk-management and change/correction-management, I do want to use JIRA for planing, integrating, testing and documentation of SW-development-processes from now on.

What the standard generally asks for is some traceability between SW-requirements, specifications including acceptance criteria and documentet testing of components for these specifications.

While I have a general idea of how to design my workflows and issues in order to live that process, I am not sure yet, how to recreate these links between SW-requirements and specifications (components and units in my code) for all the parts of the software, that was created without JIRA.

Is there a way, to minimize the effort in creating all SW-requirements and connect them with components and units in the my repository?
