Confluence 7.0.1 Page Properties Report and Content by Label macro displays an error
Asked by janne.ahlberg:

Hello,

If I add a Page Properties Report macro to a page that doesn't have any subpages, the macro gives an error ("error rendering macro 'detailssummary'"). The same applies to at least content by label macro.

This happens only if the page in question doesn't have any subpages. When I add a subpage (the content of the subpage is irrelevant), the macros work correctly and display an empty list.

I think this issue occurred after the latest Confluence upgrade to v.7.0.1. I believe this is a bug in Confluence affecting at least v.7.0.1.

Environment: server version. Using PostgreSQL v. 9.6.8 database.

Azure sync users being removed from confluence-users group
Asked by Damien Harley:

Hi guys,

When I sync users from Azure, they are showing as 'User is read only'

They are not automatically added to the confluence-users group. You can momentarily add them but after a short time they are removed from the group and no longer have access.

I'm using the SAML SSO Plugin, with the User Update Method set to "Update with UserSync-Connector"

\*\*update\*\* group membership is being removed by the UserSync

Has anyone else had the same issue?

Thank you.


Answers:
author: Christian Reichert (resolution)
body: Hi Damien,

by default the Usersync connector will see AzureAD as the "master" and remove the User from all the groups where is not part of in AzureAD.

So one possible solution for you is to have a group like confluence-users (can be a different name) in AzureAD.

If that's not what you like, then you need to tell the connector which groups it should treat as "local groups". Essentially leave the User in the "local groups" even though they are not present in AzureAD.

You can do that via **User Sync** -\> **Edit** the Azure AD connector you created.  
Then -\> **Show Advanced Settings**.

Scroll down to -\> **Local Group Management.** Under -\> **Keep these Groups** click -\>**Add one**

Afterwards add confluence-users to there. This will mean the connector will never remove a User from this group. You can also use regular expressions instead - so something like confluence-.\* would treat everything that starts with confluence- as a local group and leave it alone.

You also said:
> They are not automatically added to the confluence-users group

If you would like to add every User the connector syncs to be added to the confluence-users group, then you can use the following setting.

**Local Group Management.** Under -\> **Always assign these groups** click -\>**Add one**and then add all the groups you want assigned to every User here.

Hope that helps!

You can also always schedule a Screenshare session with us, if you like to discuss this in more Detail. <https://resolution.de/go/calendly>

Cheers,  
Chris

Which Rest API for Confluence okta enabled authentication?
Asked by Yong Wang:

Hi,

The following Python code was working for Confluence basic authentication. However it was not working after we upgraded Confluence with okta enabled. Could you please suggest anything to fix it?

self.default_auth = (USERNAME, PASSWORD)

# Defaults for the Confluence API requests  
self.REST_API_URL = '<https://wiki.xxxx.com.au:80/rest/prototype/1>'  
self.REST_API_HEADERS = {'Accept': 'application/json'}

Welcome to Atlassian Community. It's nice to meet you.

You'll want to use OAuth to connect using Okta. I would recommend contacting Okta support, and they would be able to help you to do that.

I hope that helps, but let us know if you have any questions.

How can I turn off my own activity alerts?
Asked by Casey Harris:

I recently became an administrator of a space that requires a LOT of clean up/editing/deleting/etc. My manager told me he received 28 emails based on my activity.

How can I turn this off without going to each user and telling them to unsubscribe? I don't want them to keep turning off alerts because eventually they will turn them all off.


Answers:
author: Brant Schroeder
body: Casey,

There is not a great answer for this. Confluence sends lots of notifications by default since it based on transparency and collaboration. Typically it is the user that manages their notifications: <https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/email-notifications-145162.html?_ga=2.214362270.888459506.1568856943-214707426.1517458758>

When you do edits to the pages you can uncheck the box at the bottom that sends notifications for pages edits etc. If you are the admin of the space you can manage watchers. I would just records who is watching the space and remove them, make your changes and add them back. <https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/manage-watchers-724765356.html>

comments: author: Casey Harris
body: Brant,

Thanks for your reply. I did uncheck the notification box at the bottom when possible, but I did not notice this option on all pages... this is not available when creating a brand new page, correct?

I will try out the Manage Watchers option.

I appreciate the attitude towards transparency, but I would rather not clog up management's inbox with these type of tasks, or have them unsubscribe and then later ask them to re-subscribe.


author: Brant Schroeder
body: Casey,

You are correct if you are creating or deleting pages then there is no way to turn off notifications for individuals watching the site. If you adjust who is watching the space it should help.

Thanks  
Brant

Why can't I delete my own attachments in Confluence, by default?
Asked by Christopher Hume:

Has there been any movement on allowing users to delete their own attachments?  

There is a bug here. I am one of our Confluence Administrators; and I have been granted the Privilege to Delete Attachments.  

However, Delete link does not appear next to an Attachment - not even for an Attachment that I myself created.  


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Admin rights do not grant you space rights automatically (but they do give you space admin rights so you can add them).

The defaults in Confluence are cautious, if you need to delete attachments (or in fact anything else in a space), you need to change the space settings away from the default of "no delete"

Confluence does not have the concept of "my attachments" though - it's all the attachments in the space or none.

comments: author: Christopher Hume
body: Hello Nic,  

Within the relevant Team Space, on the View Space Settings Page \> Permissions Tab \> Individual Permissions Section \> Under My Username:  

All of the Permissions have been granted and appear with Green Checkmarks. What more needs to be done?  

Thanks,  
Chris  


author: Christopher Hume
body: Hello again Nic,

The confusion turned out to be due to more than one, similarly named Team Space being involved. This is a separate question; but is it possible to move one Team Space under another - either that or to have one Project be a sub-project of another?  

Thanks,  
Chris


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: No, there's no nesting of spaces or projects. The best you can do is move one set of pages from one space to another.


author: Exa Red
body: Frankly the default setting of "don't allow deletions" is utterly non-intuitive. While Confluence is at it's roots a Wiki - it is at the core an equivalent to many other systems that manage content, so is more like a CMS. Typical users would consider it more like SharePoint or literally any other CMS (of which there are tens if not hundreds). All of them permit attachments to be removed by default.

I have uploaded a file and then have been told that it can't be uploaded (after the fact; it contains file formats that apparently cannot be shared, though they seem innocuous) and must urgently be removed has been frustrating.

Finding this default setting and then having to contact an administrator to change the setting has been both time consuming and painful.

At some point in Confluence's past a product manager thought this non-intuitive default setting was a great idea. It is a product setting / "feature" that is no longer a feature but instead an annoyance due to it's counter intuitive setting and likely virtually all customers change it.

I'd appreciate a Story being raised for this in future Confluence sprints for a Product Manager to review the default setting and check telemetry on the changes that customers make to turn it off. If more than 30% of users turn it off - then I'd suggest it should be changed to the normal default for any other similar CMS - that is, permit deletes by default.

Showning info for the same profields id from different projects
Asked by Kaarina Tejle:

Trying to figure out how to solve a profields problem I have.

Within several project there are the same status fields used in profiled for ex. Project A, B and C have the same field for showing if the CAPEX is on track.

So on one confluence page I want to show as below:

Project A Project B Project C

Profield 1 Profield 1 Profield 1

But even if I see in the edit preview that Confluence has picked the right info from Jira for the field it displays empty when I publish the page.

It seems it only wants to show the first status from Project A leaving the other two columns empty

What is wrong in my config? I put them all in a normal confluence table to display the results.

Do you have the same dashboard in Jira? In that case, does it load properly?

After reading this through, it seems like we might have to look into this behavior. Would you mind opening a Support ticket right here? : <https://jira.deiser.com/servicedesk/customer/portal/1>

This would be really helpful for us to give better support.

Confluence Markup no longer working in Chrome
Asked by Robin Lyftogt:

Just recently, I've found that I can't add Confluence Markup to pages in Chrome, either via the Insert More Content - Markup menu, or shortcut key Ctrl + Shift + D

I can add Wiki Markup (by typing '{markup}'), but this doesn't convert the raw text (eg h3.I'm a Sub Heading) to true Confluence mark up. It only changes the display.

It works in IE, but not in Chrome. It worked in Chrome a few months ago, so I'm guessing there's been a Chrome update which has killed this functionality. Is anyone experiencing the same issue?


Answers:
author: Robin Lyftogt
body: For info, this is now working in Chrome, but only using the old Confluence editor. I can't figure out how to insert Wiki Markup in the new Confluence editor, which is a big problem for us as one of our processes analyses a DB and generates Wiki Markup to paste into Confluence. So we will have to stick with the old editor for certain tasks.

body: * Hello there, Raveh!

Looking at the excerpt you shared with us, it seems that *++Crowd is pointing to the old address++* of your instances. Since you stated that the URLs have been*++recently changed++*, I believe we could start by checking exactly this.

You might need to *++update the URL within your Crowd settings++* before everything works as expected. You should be able to check this here:

> 2. *Click Application*
> 3. *Select Confluence*

If the URL *++does not match++* the one you have currently set for Confluence, you should change it.

Further, it could be beneficial for the situation if we take a look into this documentation:

The issue can also be triggered by an incorrectly uppercased letter in the set URL, which is the exact situation displayed in the article above.

Thanks, i do not use crowd (at least not directly). but i did the steps above in Jira, which make the connection between Jira and Confluence to be active. but it didn't help to solve the issue.

it seems the issue is on the confluence side. it ask me to change its base URL (using a popup) but when i press the link inside the popup i get the oops message above.

is there a way to change confluence base URL using other methods?

What happens if I delete a user?
Asked by maria:

Hey,

I wanted to know if I could actually delete a user, without modifying their history, for example, if the person created a document and I want to delete that person from our user's list, is the page still going to be available for the rest of the users? or any of the other changes that person might have done to any other space?

Thank you! I would really like to update our current user's list, but I am not sure what happens and what are the consequences of deleting a user.


Answers:
author: Aaron Williams
body: Hey Maria, you can find out about all scenarios of deleting and deactivation a user here: <https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjiraserver/create-edit-or-remove-a-user-938847025.html>  

Basically it boils down to; their content will remain unless you specifically go and delete that as well, and if you delete a user their name will be anonymised to a "Deleted User" state...

If you delete a lot of users, you might wonder who this "Deleted User" guy is, and how they have such a high edit history count - it just bundles every deleted user as one.


author: robert Mugabuhamye
body: hello [@maria](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3563702)   

If you delete a user, what he created will remain.  

But, it is recommended to not delete but **de-activate** the user. This way, you keep the history and the name associated with the history, but the user won't be able to access your confluence.

Happy to help you with this.

When you mention a document, are you referring to a page in Confluence, or an attachment, such as a Word document?

When you published the page, the changes were all there, but they're missing as of this morning? Are your changes in the history of the page?

Lastly, could you confirm your Confluence version with me to make sure we're on the same page? It will also help if you can walk us through the steps you took exactly, it'll help to understand why the changes are not there.

Regards,

Shannon
