Error reading JObject from JsonReader - SSO
Asked by Corey Tenney:

To start, yes I have searched for 4 hours today trying to fix this before posting. The obvious stuff does not help.

I have a new Windows 10 machine, the latest sourcetree installed. When I try to add an account and do the Refresh OAuth Token I get "Unable to get secret Error reading JObject from JsonReader, Path '', line 0, position 0.

So this above USELESS error does not help me diagnose in any way shape or form. I BELIVE this has to do with our company using SSO to authenticate vs BitBuckets built in username/pw.

If I use basic instead of OAuth, I get ... Could not create SSL/TLS secure channel. Again, only on this machine does it do this... my other machine is fine. Thoughts?

2 Confluence spaces how do we bridge this
Asked by Paul Prata:

We have Support \& Engineering folks that have their own WIKI spaces and we would like to have all documentation in 1 central location without moving all articles. Do we have a way to link articles but reside in different spaces?


Answers:
author: Hans Polder
body: [@Paul Prata](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5382433) ,

Next to [@Seon Shakespeare](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2079193)'s awesome tips, you could also consider the use of **labels** . There are several macros available that help show content that contains specific labels, such as: [Filter by Label macro.](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/insert-the-filter-by-label-macro/?)

This could help you show an automatically updated list of pages relevant to a specific topic, regardless of which space it is in (depending on how you configure it :-)).

Good luck!

comments: author: Paul Prata
body: Yes, we currently leverage labels, but this doesn't resolve the issue when Eng teams have documentation they own in their own space and L1/L2 can leverage these documents but do not have access to their wiki. What I'm trying to solve is keeping the docs that Eng team owns in their space and display them in the L1/L2 space as well but not move them?


author: Seon Shakespeare
body: Hi Paul,

Confluence has a few ways to connect your Support and Engineering spaces:

**1. Direct Links:** You can directly link to pages in other spaces. When editing a page, type `[` and start searching for the page title you want to connect.

**2. Include Page Macro:** For a more integrated feel, check out the "Include Page" macro. This lets you embed content from another page directly into your central space. The included content even updates automatically when the original page changes.

**One important thing to check:**

* **Permissions:** Double-check the permissions for your Support and Engineering spaces. You'll want to make sure that users who should have access to the linked or included content actually do.

I hope this helps!

Answers:
author: Laura Campbell _Seibert Media_
body: Hi [@Magdalena SPYRA](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4034593) and welcome to Community!

You can adjust some permissions for anonymous users in the space settings. Check out this page for details <https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/make-a-space-public/>

This page also details the different permissions that are available: <https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/assign-space-permissions/>

You can, for example, prevent anonymous users from being able to comment the page.

You cannot out of the box prevent anonymous users from leaving an emoticon reaction.

If you are open to using an app, [Spacecraft](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1230544/spacecraft-theme-for-confluence-cloud-color-your-space?hosting=cloud&tab=overview&utm_source=atlassian-community&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=question-2749029) could be a good solution as it allows you to hide the emoji reaction feature on public spaces. (For info I work with the company behind the app).

Restricting all pages under a parent page?
Asked by Shawn Connelly:

Greetings all,   

Apologies if this is a ridiculously simple question, but I can't seem to figure this out.   

I have set up a parent page that I want everyone to see. On this page, I am using a /child macro (with 2 levels) so that everyone can see the restricted topics.   

However, I want all the child pages to be restricted to all but a selected 12 stakeholders. There will be quite a few child pages, so I don't want to manually enter the 12 names for each of these restricted pages.   

The only solution I can come up with is to create an intermediary page where I will set the restrictions and then place all the restricted (inherited) pages on the next level. Is there a better way to do this... aka do I really need to create that intermediary "Child page" for setting restrictions?  

- Parent page (open)  
- Child page for the purpose of setting the restrictions (restricted to 12 stakeholders)  
- Restricted pages 1, 2, 3, 4, etc... (inherited restriction)

<br />

BTW, User groups and templates are not available options for me.

Thank you

Attachment migragtion from v4 to v3 storage
Asked by Dmitri Bukovski:

Hi, has anybody tried to export attachments from v4 storage to an older v3?

We have a couple of Confluences with different versions - 8.6 and 7.13, and we noticed that after we exported content from 8.6 to 7.13 the attachments seem to be missing - they can be seen in the attachments section, but none of them available. If we manually add the attachment from 8.6 content to the counterpart page of 7.13 preserving the name, the attachment becomes available in the Attachments menu, but it is not displayed on the page.

I've read that these versions have different approaches to attachment storage and there was a guide on transition from v3 to v4, but is there a way to do a backwards transition?


Answers:
author: Shawn Doyle - ReleaseTEAM
body: I think you found the backward approach, you need to add the content to the 7.13 version of the page.

Date conditional access for guest users
Asked by Hendri Lankamp:

Hi,  

Currently we are manually adding guest users to confluence when a project starts and removing them when project is complete. It would be beneficial if we could use a start and end date for guest users. This minimizes the risk of forgetting to remove the user.  

Is this an something that can be configured?  

<br />

Kind regards,  
Hendri


Answers:
author: Shawn Doyle - ReleaseTEAM
body: I am not aware of a way to achieve this directly from Confluence. There may be a marketplace app that could help or you would have to script something via the API.


author: Kristian Klima
body: Hi [@Hendri Lankamp](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5536838) and welcome.

I can see a SAML SSO based solution - this would work if your access to the Atlassian Org is SAML SSO controlled.

Essentially, you first provision your guests to your SSO environment and set up the access package - this would be restricted to Atlassian products and have the 'best before' date :)

Then you would invite them as guests. After the best before date, they would lose their access rights as per your SSO settings.

comments: author: Hendri Lankamp
body: Hi Kristian,  

Thanks for the quick reply.  
Since our guest users only need access towards Confluence/Jira and have no need for other domain functionality's, this would not be a preferable solution. Also the responsibility for user/guest management will shift from our business team towards our IT team.  

But again, thanks for looking for a possible solution.  

Is the "conditional" start/end date functionality something that we could expect in the future? Our maybe only for guest access?  

<br />

Kind regards,  
Hendri Lankamp


author: Kristian Klima
body: Hi [@Hendri Lankamp](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5536838)

I admit, my solution is using the right arm to scratch behind the left ear :)

But may you can turn it around, rather than expiring guests permissions... you can expire the content restrictions. I wonder if there's an app in the Marketplace, that would lift or expose restrictions on pages at a certain date....

As a user with no Atlassian affiliation (billing aside :) ) I am not privy to their plans.

How to properly use Google Workspace as a identity provider (mapping users)
Asked by Christoph Pieper:

Hi!

I created a Google Workspace Organization. Several users used their SSO to login to the Jira / Confluence Space / Board I created over my (SSO logged in Google Account). I saw, that there is the possibility to use Google Workspace as an identity provider for Atlassian products.

I now want to setup Workspace as the Identity provider. But is very important for me, that:

1. The Atlassian-Google-SSO accounts are reused
2. That if a user logs in into Jira or Confluence that he/her can continue working without doing any setup steps

Is this possible and how are the steps to do? Where are the pitfalls?

Integrating Confluence with Servicenow

With Confluence Server REST API/webhook how to get view restrictions efficiently
Asked by Walter Mauritz:

I want to get view restrictions ... in bulk preferably or by webhook

First I have thought

/rest/api/content/search?cql=space=MYSPACENAME AND type=page AND lastModified \>= 2024-06-01

I will get restrictions here. A "restrictions" JSON element exists, but is empty, although I have view restrictions.

with:

/rest/api/content/1257046040/restriction/byOperation

I get view restrictions, but I would need to call every page

Can I get view restriction changes by webhook?

Is there some method to get "bulk" all/delta (changed since X) view restrictions for all pages in a space?

Answers:
author: Kristian Klima
body: From my Server days, this would happen when copy pasting content from elsewhere - somewhere along the process hard or soft returns would get inserted. And sometimes it would only become obvious/visible in the View mode.

You can either sort it out manually, try Remove formatting (or whatever it's called in the menu), or try copy-paste text via Notepad or Text edit (in plain text mode), to remove styles that are being copied over and wrongly interpreted by Confluence.

Note: Sometimes you may have pure text content BUT if the cell previously contained formatted content, the stuff you're inserting would inherit the previous formatting.

Server editor was really really bad, which is why we had a rule 'never copy paste stuff from elsewhere without stripping the formatting first' :)

Access Limitations When Sharing Parent page with Child Page as public Links
Asked by Rajith Ravindranathan:

Could someone please inform me once I've designated the parent page and child page as public links and shared them with the client? Currently, they can only access the parent page and not the child page. I would appreciate guidance on how to resolve this issue.


Answers:
author: Kristian Klima
body: Hi [@Rajith Ravindranathan](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5539237) and welcome to the Community.

Check restrictions on individual content. This typically happens when the content on such a page is an excerpt, page inclusion, or is synced via an app from another space.

It can get more nuanced:

If I share a page that has a child pages macro, I get the 'no access' warning on the public link despite the fact that I also enabled public links on the child pages.

Public links always work in isolation and are only suitable for self-contained content. It's practical to share individual pages but for sharing large selections of content, I'd look for a different solution (a dedicated space with anonymous access, a theme app that builds a dedicated site from your Confluence content ([Scroll Viewport](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1211636/scroll-viewport-for-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=overview) and similar)

comments: author: Rajith Ravindranathan
body: Hi Kristian,  
Yes, what you mentioned is indeed accurate. I implemented a workaround by linking child page public links to the child page macro topic in parent page) to synchronize effectively with the parent page. Everything is functioning smoothly now. the client can access now all the pages.
