How to setup JSM issues view rights for non agents, displayed in Confluence?
Asked by Kay:

Hi,

I have created a Confluence page which displwas open issues of JSM and I would like some other people to be able to see the issues (read only).

Manual I have used: [Display Jira issues in a table \| Confluence Cloud \| Atlassian Support](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/insert-the-jira-issues-macro/)

Non agents get the message "No results found" where the macro should be displayed.

I guess it's related to permissions. Where can I change this without making those persons JSM agents?

Thanks!

Kay

body: Hi [@Kay](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5444853) and welcome to Community!

The people who see "No results found", do they have product access to JSM? If you give them product access, but only browse permissions (not an agent role), they should be able to see issues but not work on them.

body: Hi [@Laura Campbell _Seibert Media_](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3327113)

thank you very much!  

How can I do this? I tried for example "Stakeholder" but it didn't work. It would be great if you could tell me more details. :-)

WHY ON EARTH IS THE SEARCH FUNCTION IN CONFLUENCE SO STUPID
Asked by Juan Majeed:

WHEN I SEARCH FOR SOMETHING , THERE IS NO AUTOCOMPLETE ..FOR EXAMPLE WHEN SEARCHING FOR THE WORD "BANGELADESCH", I HAVE TO WRITE THE COMPLETE WORD IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO SEARCH... ARE THE DEVELOPERS SO LAZY TO SOLVE THIS ISSUE


Answers:
author: Kristian Klima
body: Hi [@Juan Majeed](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5445986)

When I start typing anything in the search box, the search modal immediately opens with topics related to whatever I type.

I typed 'wid' and immediately got a list of pages that corresponded to 'widgets'. I continued to type 'widgets uni' and the list refined to widgets in our Unified Analytics module.

It happens instantly.

I'm using the latest Firefox on a Mac, with a ton of add ons and it still works great IMHO.

Asked by Sachin Somannavar:

While we are extracting the space level permission , we see users and group which has certain permission on operation they can perform , in this case can we extract the users are which are there inside the group by using rest api, we need that level of granular information for our project where we need to have which user has what all permission

Disable "your team is working on these pages--join the conversation" emails
Asked by rafir:

Hi,

I can't seem to find a way to disable these emails in Confluence Cloud.

Furthermore, it's sharing changes from Spaces that are off-limit and exposing sensitive information.

Please advise,

Rafi.


Answers:
author: Beth Seitz
body: Not an answer, but I'm receiving these emails even though I have the new digest feature turned OFF in my settings. The unsubscribe link simply points me back to that same settings page, where the feature is clearly not enabled. Seems like this feature is broken in a couple of ways.


author: Barbara Szczesniak
body: [@Marc - Devoteam](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3796976), I believe that [@rafir](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3551741) is referring to the **Subscribe to \> Recommended Updates** feature mentioned in this post: <https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/Turn-Off-Confluence-Recommended-Updates-beta/qaq-p/2615118#M293894>

I still do not see this in my instance, so I don't know if it is still rolling out or maybe it's not available in the free plan.

I do find it disturbing that people are getting emails about changes to pages that they don't have access to.

comments: author: rafir
body: Yes, this is what I'm suspecting that happened.


author: Marc - Devoteam
body: Hi [@rafir](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3551741)

I think this is related to the email settings per user and not a global setting. You can only disable mail completely on global level.

You could reach Atlassian Support on the topic.

comments: author: rafir
body: The problem is that email notifications (for watched pages) are useful but this new beta feature exposes information it shouldn't. This is something that was recently enabled and I can't ask all my users to disable it manually.


author: Marc - Devoteam
body: Hi [@rafir](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3551741)

What is the beta feature you enabled?


author: rafir
body: I'm assuming it's a beta feature because I saw several people complaining about it.

I haven't enabled anything.

Access Confluence profile of current user through Confiforms

Is there an alternative for Search and Replace plugin
Asked by Agne Palenskiene:

For Confluence Server we were using the Search and Replace plugin ([https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1212823/search-and-replace?tab=overview\&hosting=server](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1212823/search-and-replace?tab=overview&hosting=server)), but it is no longer available, especially since we moved to Data Center.

Is there any alternative plugin or a way to search the space and replace hyperlinks?


Answers:
author: Rik de Valk
body: Hi [@Agne Palenskiene](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4676678) ,

I only ever used ScriptRunner to do such a thing. But that was for a use-case where I - as the Confluence admin - ran such scripts (as Jobs in Scriptrunner). Not a use-case where regular users could use this 'find-and-replace'.

But a quick Marketplace search surfaced this app: [https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1217476/find-and-replace-utility-plugin?hosting=datacenter\&tab=overview](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1217476/find-and-replace-utility-plugin?hosting=datacenter&tab=overview)

Maybe some other community member has experience with that one. Or you can start a trial and try it.

If you also have the use-case that Admins only have to run this 'find-and-replace', then ScriptRunner is a solution that can be used for many things, especially for admins.

Best regards, Rik

Confluence Chart Macro No Longer Working
Asked by MA:

Hi All,

Has there been any recent changes to the Confluence Cloud that would break the chart macro?

I have a Confluence page that uses the chart macro to create a stacked bar chart. The data comes from a simple table embedded in the chart macro. 3 weeks ago it displayed fine. Went to look at the page today and I get the generic "No Data Available" as per screenshot.

The page gets updated monthly and looking at the page history, nothing has changed at our end. I also note that the edit chart macro settings/options doesn't match the documentation (also another clue that it has been updated?)

Finally, the documentation on this macro is really bad. There doesn't appear to be any practical examples. The documentation only describes how to fill in the chart attributes and the data section for the chart macro doesn't really explain how to reference your table clearly, rather it talks about table IDs etc. that aren't usually required and are not easy to find.

Please advise if this functionality has changed.

Example screenshot below.

author: MA
body: I note that the table functionality changed in the Confluence Cloud changes Feb 26 to Mar 4, 2024. Since the chart macro relies on the table structure, I wonder if this has broken it?

On server there is a way to search by macroName: right in the Confluence search - [![](https://confluence.atlassian.com/staticassets/4.6.0/dist/common/images/favicon.png)Confluence Search Syntax \| Confluence Data Center 8.8 \| Atlassian Documentation](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/confluence-search-syntax-158720.html)

* <https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-23667>

However, I have found that you can use the [REST API call](https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/rest/v1/api-group-search/#api-wiki-rest-api-search-get)to do that  
<https://YOUR-INSTANCE.atlassian.net/wiki/rest/api/search?cql=macro=%22confiform%22&limit=100>

Table of Contents Bullet styles
Asked by Brittany Hegedus:

Is there a way to set the **Bullet style** for a **Table of Contents** so that it is always the **Mixed** Bullet style? My team and I are certain it was set to this and recently have noticed we have to manually edit it when we create a new page.


Answers:
author: Marc - Devoteam
body: Hi [@Brittany Hegedus](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5445454)

Welcome to the community.

I think you always made a new page based on a template that was available in the space.

You can check if it is still there and you can use it.

It might be that the template has changed.


author: Mike Hill
body: We are in the same boat. The default used to always be the "Mixed" style, and old pages retain that, but new TOC macros have it set to "None" by default. We are not using templates for this.

Is there a way to change the default for the macro back to be "Mixed"? The "None" style doesn't make much sense as a default.
