Granting view/commenting access to external users (clients)
Asked by Dharmesh Barot:

Hi,

We would like to grant access to our external users (clients) to be able to review content and add their comments.

How can we accomplish this?

**Would this work?**

Create a client group called **ClientA**

*Space permissions* for **ClientA-Space** - Our company group (not admin) can view and edit the entire space

*Page Restrictions* - On the parent page (Project Page) with 10 child pages (requirements), add page restrictions for Company group to edit pages and ClientA group to view pages.

**Question**

1. With the above setup would users in the **ClientA** group be able to **view** all pages under the **ClientA-Space** space or just under the parent page (Project Page) including the child pages?

Please advise.

Best,

Dharmesh


Answers:
author: Dharmesh Barot
body: Thanks for your quick response, [@Tansu Akdeniz](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/472390)!

Understood. What if I **do not give access to ClientA to the space** AND give access to a page only? Will they be able to access the page without space permissions?

Ex.

Space - **no access to ClientA**. Company has access.

* Project Page 1 (no restrictions)
  * Sub-page 1 (no restrictions)
* Project Page 2 (ClientA - View only, Company - Edit access)
  * Sub-page 1 (no restrictions)

Will **ClientA be able to view only (and comment) Project Page 2 and Sub-page 1?**

comments: author: Tansu Akdeniz
body: So, **ClientA**can not see the space (although you give access in page level). You are welcome.


author: Tansu Akdeniz
body: Hi [@Dharmesh Barot](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/938993)

It totally depends to individual page restrictions. If you grant access to **ClientA**in your space, they can see all pages within the space if there is no individual restrictions.

Ex 1:

* Project Page 1 (no restrictions)
  * Sub-page 1 (no restrictions)
* Project Page 2 (no restrictions)
  * Sub-page 1 (no restrictions)

**ClientA can view all pages.**

Ex 2:

* Project Page 1 (no restrictions)
  * Sub-page 1 (no restrictions)
* Project Page 2 (only company)
  * Sub-page 1 (no restrictions)

**ClientA can view only Proje Page 1 and Sub-page 1.**

How to import a new SSL certificate?
Asked by Mike Sherratt:

Dear Support,

How do I import a new certificate in Bitbucket? I have a on-premise server which uses tomcat and an ssl-keystore.

I have a new crt \& key files from QuoVadis but I don't know what to do with it.

Following the instructions in the following kb, I receive the following error when trying to import the new crt into the keystore. Which seems to indicate that the certificate wasn't generated by the csr file.

keytool -import -alias tomcat -file "NEW Certificate" -keystore "DIR keystore"

**"keytool error: java.lang.Exception: Certificate reply does not contain public key for \<tomcat\>"**

Can I link to an anchor an another card?
Asked by Thomas Panthel:

Hello,  
I am working on a WIKI page and do have a question.  

Am I able to use an anchor to link from a card to another card inside this page?  

I do have a page with a deck of 4 cards and I would like to "link" from card 1 to card 2 by using an anchor on card 2 and a link on card 1.

Is this possible anyhow?

Import Word Doc to a page based on the legacy template
Asked by RPT Admin:

Title says it all really. I have a large knowledge base which has been built entirely using the legacy editor. I've been given a substantial Word doc (8,000 words) which I need to add to my knowledge base. But I can't work out how to import a Word doc into a page which uses the legacy editor.

I can import the word doc into a page base on the new editor - but it would look out of place in my knowledge base. Or I can create a blank page based on the legacy editor and paste the Word doc into it. Is there a third way? Can I somehow import the word doc into a legacy page? Can I convert a new page into a legacy page?


Answers:
author: Liam Green
body: Hi [@RPT Admin](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/502096)

I cannot see that there would be a third way of doing this - I think you're going to have to use a blank page on the legacy and copy and paste it.

Team Calenders for Confluence : Summary twice in ics/iCal subscription
Asked by Default:

Hi all,

we are using the Team Calenders for Confluence for our team planning and we found out, that the 'Leave' entries are showing the summary twice.  
It is like Username: Summary Summary.

It seems to be only in the Leave event and is shown in the subscription as iCal/.ics format.

Subscribe choose an entry like  
.../rest/calendar-services/1.0/calendar/export/subcalendar/private/4654564fdasdf4wrfv4.ics

It can be seen in the plain text as well as in eg. Outlook.

Can someone confirm this?

Is it already a known issue?

Bug - blog authors are misattributed in multiple different places
Asked by Pip Turner:

Hi - this has annoyed me for a while, thought I'd better post it somewhere.

When I work on a 'blog post' with my team and hit publish, confluence reports the publisher as three different people depending on where you look.

There are three 'profiles' confluence seems to pull out

* The person who created the draft blog post
* The person who hit publish
* Space creator

Here's a list of what reports what  

**Slack integration:** Draft page creator

**Confluence feed:** Publisher

**Blog macro, excerpts:** Space creator

**Blog macro, entire:** Draft page creator

**Recently Updated Macro:** Space creator

**Blog page attribution:** Created by draft page creator, edited by publisher

**Email notifications:** Publisher

**Confluence notifications:** Publisher

This is a complete mess and whilst it gives me a good laugh every time we publish a blog post, it'd be nice for confluence to report consistent information. To me, the correct person to report would be the publisher, rather than the draft page creator or space creator.

Do blogposts and archived pages count for total-pagecount index?
Asked by tjitse.de.vries:

**Context:**

Our team has started with confluence one year ago and our Space has sort of grown organically. As I've been given the task to streamline and declutter our space, I have been archiving pages and converting pages to blogposts.

Also, I would like to use the index page but our page total is still over 500 pages.   
Just to be certain that we're on the right approach I'd like to know the following:

**Question:**

Do archived and plogpages count towards this index-maximum of 500 pages.


Answers:
author: Stephen Sifers
body: Hello!

Thanks for providing the context and what you're intended goal is. To confirm, Blogs (while similar in structure) are not considered pages in the perspective of the Page Index macro. Blogs will not display within the page list.

Sometimes pages do have rapid page creation and this can be hard to get in front of. If you're hitting limits with the Page Index macro you can explore breaking out your content with the Page Tree macro. Using this macro would allow you to scope specific pages and content pages on the parent and adjust depth.

Archived pages do not count towards the Page Index macro page count. More information on this may be found on [Archive pages.](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/archive-pages/)

More on this can be found at [Insert the page tree macro.](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/insert-the-page-tree-macro/)

Stephen Sifers

body: Thank's for clarifying the blog-question?

Have Chart Marco only render Report Table Macro returns data

I have created templates where data can be added via the Table Data Macro. I have a reporting page where I use the Report Table Marco within the Chart Macro to plot the data entered in pages based on the template.

Can I have the Chart Macro only render in case data has been entered in the respective tables. At the moment is shows the chart with 'No Data Available'. Nevertheless would be nicer not tho have the chart rendering at all if no data is available.

Under what conditions should I archive confluence spaces
Asked by Joseph:

We have thousands of confluence spaces under which there are many pages again. I just want to understand what policies should we set up on the basis of which we can archive certain spaces.


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: This is entirely up to you.

Most people would archive spaces that are no longer of much use, but they don't want to lose completely. This may happen when a product goes out of support, an organisation changes structure, someone notices that no-one is reading or updating the space, and so-on.

Your policies for archive really need to be decided by you. We can't really give you any solid rules, as we're not running your organisation and we don't know what you need from your Confluence or the data within it.

comments: author: Joseph
body: Thanks for the reply. I guess I will have to find a way to finalise the policies.

Is there any way in confluence where i can create a query to find the pages that have not been updated in like a year.

Lineage of issues and children
Asked by Matt Fracassini:

Hi Everyone!  
We have 5 layers in Jira spanning to something similar to below

1. Themes
2. Initiatives
3. features
4. epics
5. stories
6. Controls/sub tasks

I was wondering if there is a way at all to set up a page that shows the "lineage" of all the items trickling down from Themes all the way to the Controls / Sub tasks.  
Potentially I can click on a theme and see what initiatives are in a theme.  
I can see what features are part of which initiative and so on.  

We are talking of 10s of themes with 100s initatives and thousands of epics etc.  

Has anyone done anything like this before?
