Need to impose page restrictions to our project page
Asked by Ravi Krishna Sai:

We want to add page restrictions to our project page

\<removed url\>

we want to give read-write access to our team members alone and for others only view access. But I am not able to add any restrictions as it says "You're not allowed to change these restrictions. It's either due to edit restrictions on the page, or permissions settings for this space"

Please help to give me read-write access FileId: \<removed email\>

author: Thomas Schlegel
body: Hi [@Ravi Krishna Sai](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1355762),

first of all, I have removed the Email and the internal URL of your Confluence. Remember, this is a public community, everybody can read this here.

To your question:

Please look at the space permissions. Do you have the permission "Add Restriction"?

Are there already page restrictions on the page and you are not allowed to change the page anymore? Look at the lock-icon above the page title. Is it red? If not, hover over the lock and look at the text. Is the page unrestricted?

If it is already restricted, you have to reach out to someone who is able to edit the page and change the page restrictions for you.

You'll see the date between iso and T0 and the time after the T0

Simply set the date to the desired date and embed on the page using an iFrame.

Is there a way to view Document status transition in Confluence
Asked by madhusudhananravi:

We hold Techincal documents in Confluence with a detailed transition workflow including a 6 different states.

Is there a way to view or track the transitions between document states in Confluence.? Like a History button which shows when and who made transitions in the document.?


Answers:
author: AnnWorley
body: The [Page History and Page Comparison Views](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/page-history-and-page-comparison-views-139379.html) might do what you need:

Confluence tracks the history of changes to each page by creating a new version of the page each time it's modified. You can view the changes between different versions, and roll back to a previous version if you need to. People can add a comment when they make a change, to indicate which of the 6 states it is in.

Does making changes to user's permissions happen on the Wiki server or DB? We need to disable 1500
Asked by Bach Singh:

Hello,

So the old admins never pointed the AD group to the right group for Wiki which means every user ever created is shown as active in Wiki. We want to change the group but want to make sure that:

1) Nothing breaks so we are trying to create a test enviroment

2) What aspect we need to duplicate; the server or server and DB

3) Whether disabling 1500 via AD is going to cause a crash to occur

Looks like on Confluence side has not been written some filters like this

<https://confluence.atlassian.com/kb/how-to-write-ldap-search-filters-792496933.html>

1. Anyway, you can create in AD under ou=Security Groups, like ou=Confluence, and create/migrate the correct groups. (please, check group filters)

2. Then review global permissions under group level. Please, read it-\> <https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/global-permissions-overview-138709.html>

3. Also write configuration with correct configs: [https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjiraserver071/connecting-to-an-ldap-directory-802592350.html](https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjiraserver071/connecting-to-an-ldap-directory-802592350.html?)

Don't worry, Jira's article the same for the Confluence LDAP connection.

That's all/

PDF export - ADD page title to header/footer
Asked by Mike Kozlowski:

Im struggling with apparently a simple task - when I export a particular page, I'd like to have the page title (h1 pagetitle) on the first page in the page area (not the header) and then the same page name repeated in the footer of every page.

What I've achieved until now is: by defining the PDF stylesheet I ++either++ have the page title in the first page ++or++ I have it in the footer, ++never both++.

In the global PDF stylesheet I've defined (for the page title in the footer):

```
.pagetitle h1 { 
  display: block;
  position: running(header1);
  page-break-after:avoid; 
  font-family: ConfluenceInstalledFont, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
  font-size: 14pt !important; 
  vertical-align: center; 
  text-align: left;
}
```

and in @page section

```
@bottom-left {
  content: element(header1) !important; 
  font-family: ConfluenceInstalledFont, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
  font-size: 10pt; 
  vertical-align: top;
  text-align: left;
}
```

But this way there isn't any page title in the first page.

Removing "*position: running(header1);*" brings back the title on the first page but removes it from the footer.

Is there any way to achieve what I'm trying to do? I've checked similar threads already, none of them seems to give a binding answer.


Answers:
author: Deborah Cross
body: I'm having the same experience. If I define anything putting the title in a header or footer it disappears from the first page. Did you get a solution?

When exporting a PDF, can I run a script on the "intermediary" HTML before the PDF is created?
Asked by Graham Hannington:

In Confluence Server 6.7.0, I'm using Space Tools \> Content Tools \> Export to export a subset of pages from a space. I'd like to manipulate what Atlassian refers to as the [intermediary HTML](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/advanced-pdf-export-customizations-198806890.html), preferably using JavaScript.

Failing that, without requiring Confluence admin rights---I'd be okay if it only required Space admin rights---I'd like a centralized method for manipulating the original HTML source of all of the pages included in a PDF export. I don't want to have to include a macro (say, an HTML macro containing a script element) individually in each page.

As an experiment, I inserted an HTML macro containing a script into the space header (Space Tools \> Look and Feel): that worked when viewing the pages in a browser, but not when exporting to PDF.

In case it occurs to you: I can't achieve what I want via CSS. At least, not via the (2.1?) CSS selectors currently supported by Confluence PDF export (Flying Saucer with iText 2.1.7; did I get that right?).


Answers:
author: Davin Studer
body: What exactly are you trying to achieve?

comments: author: Graham Hannington
body: Hi Davin,

Thanks for your interest.

I am trying to achieve a workaround for Jira issue [CONFSERVER-23324](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-23324), "Space PDF Export - links to page anchors does not work properly".

The current intermediary HTML contains \<a\> elements with href attribute values (URLs) such as:

```
/wiki/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=12345678#id-anchor-name
```

Those URLs *should* refer to the following elements in the intermediary HTML:

```
<span class="confluence-anchor-link" id="anchor-name"></span>
```

I want to parse the intermediary HTML for \<a\> elements with such URLs, and then, where the intermediary HTML contains the corresponding target \<span\> element, truncate the href attribute value to just a hash ("#anchor-name"). Or, if I've got some of those details wrong: whatever I need to do to fix those links.

I don't know which is more ridiculous: me considering this workaround, or Atlassian not fixing the problem.

I have other ideas for manipulating the intermediary HTML, but this is my highest priority.


author: Graham Hannington
body: I realize that a "centralized method for manipulating the original HTML source of all of the pages included in a PDF export" won't help me with CONFSERVER-23324 (unless I'm missing something; it wouldn't be the first time). So, in the context of a workaround for CONFSERVER-23324, let's set aside that secondary "centralized method" idea for now.

Alert message displayed on historical spaces
Asked by binish_sheikh:

Hi,

I was wondering if there's a way to add a message to older spaces that tells users that they're currently using an old space. Similar to this:

This was a handy feature in the Documentation theme, I believe, but now that I'm testing out confluence version 6.9 (which doesn't have the documentation theme), I don't see this message anymore.

Would love some tips on this.

Thanks,

Bee

I want to help redirect them to the latest release space, which is exactly what this macro was doing (however, I hadn't set it up manually).

Confluence "Questions for Confluence" add-on pricing
Asked by Ricky Gummadi:

Hi There,

As a team (part of a big wider team) using confluence, we would like to get the 'Questions for Confluence' add-on.

Unfortunately, the add-on page says the following about Cloud pricing: "Add-ons for Confluence are licensed at the maximum user count (for monthly) or maximum user tier (for annual). For example, if you have 50 Confluence users on a site, your add-on pricing is for 50 users."

There are currently around 2000 users on our confluence, only a small subset of that (two teams of 20) need this addon. This pricing of 'everyone needs to have the addon' seems very prohibitive at the current user count.

Is there any way to get this add-on only for the 20 users of 2000? our only other option is to look at another external question \& answer product, but we would like to stay within the confluence eco-system.


Answers:

The more your environment grows, the higher the cost of your add-ons. Do note, the maintenance price after the first year is usually lower than the year 1 cost ; Might be worthwhile emailing their support to see what year 2's pricing is for 2000 users. Also use 3rd party vendors to potentially get a price break on the add-ons.


author: Ollie Guan
body: As far as I know, the number of Confluence users must match the number of users of the plug-in.

Confluence OAuth 403 Error
Asked by rjbrown1:

Greetings All,

We have been attempting to utilize OAuth to access the Confluence API via Alteryx and Curl commands. The OAuth tutorial presented here: <https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/jira-rest-api-oauth-authentication/> works successfully, and I am able to complete REST requests. However when we attempt to use the Access Token that was generated in a CURL command or in Alteryx we are presented with the following error:

Command:  
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer \<Access_Token\>" "<https://confluence.url.com/confluence/rest/api/content/78757429/child/attachment?filename=attachment.xlsx>"

Response:  
{"statusCode":403,"data":{"authorized":false,"valid":true,"errors":\[\],"successful":false},"message":"User not permitted to view attachments on content: ContentId{id=78757429}"}

I have been able to verify that I can log into Confluence and access the files, as well as confirmed that when I access the API after logging in via a browser and accessing the above link that I receive the JSON data I expect.

I exhausted my knowledge on what i"m sure is a simple fix. There must be something missing in my request header or body that is causing issue. I am hoping that the community may be able to assist.

For reference, I have tried adding the following during my troubleshooting attempts with no success:

-X GET

-H "Content-Type: application/json"

Authorization: Token \<Access_Token\>

Authorization: OAuth \<Access_Token\>

Thank you.

Managing documentation within a space
Asked by Justin Cimino:

Hi Everyone!

Thank you for any insight you can provide.

I'm setting up Confluence as my company's product and team knowledge base. I have spaces setup that contain general information about our product offering. Changes to these knowledge bases are managed by the documentation team and are requested in two ways:

1. Inline Jira issue creation
2. A link to a Jira project where a user can request additional documentation. The main reasons for this are to bypass the restrictions of the inline Jira issue creation where a user can only enter a title and description and to provide a request process for general requests that don't fit neatly into a space.

I then have another set of spaces that are team knowledge areas, like sales/marketing, design, etc. Rather than have our documentation team manage those spaces as well, I would like to setup a different workflow for the teams to manage their own team space documentation. **What has been an effective method for managing creating and amending documentation within a team space?** Solutions I've considered:

1. Give every team member full access to the his/her team space such that he/she can add and alter documentation at will. The tradeoff is that this bypasses quality assurance.
2. Assign a team space moderator where each team member has to submit requests to him/her in some manner - whether that be via email, slack or through a separate Jira project. The tradeoffs include extra steps for adding documentation and it means creating a Jira project for each team. We gain quality assurance but tradeoff friction.

Thank you,

Justin
