How do I access jira data through application link
Asked by aming:

Before that, I tried the basic authentication and oauth2.0 authentication of jira and confluence, which is OK. But I want to try to get it through the application link.

Sorry can you clarify what you need help with as I don't understand what you have done.

Did you already add a Jira macro to your confluence and you can't access the data?

How do you want to access jira or what do you mean by access jira?

comments: author: Ismael Jimoh
body: See <https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/insert-the-jira-issues-macro/> for accessing Jira issue data from confluence.


author: aming
body: thank you for your reply, I want to create a confluence cloud plugin,and I want to get Jira issue's data by application link but no apiToken.I can do this work in confluence server,how could I achieve my goal in confluence cloud?


author: Ismael Jimoh
body: Hi [@aming](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4864419)

Unfortunately, I'm not conversant with this. If memory serves me well, the API token is needed to authenticate for development in Cloud.

If anyone else who is conversant with Cloud plug-in development is here, could you help?

How to automate the groups list in the confluence page?
Asked by Satyavani Gorrepati:

Hello Atlassian Experts,

At my Organization, We need the automate list available in the confluence page of groups list.

Is it possible in the Confluence cloud.


Answers:
author: Ismael Jimoh
body: Hi [@Satyavani Gorrepati](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4864455)

I am not sure this is possible.

The one thing that comes to mind is Atlassian Access but from what I know this provisions users and not groups and we can't directly connect AD to Atlassian cloud instances.

There is also no API call for this from my research.

Hence I'll suggest checking jira.atlassian.com if such a feature request exists and if it doesn't, you can create one.

Regards

How do you put a JIRA Epic report burn up into a confluence page?
Asked by Chris808:

I have to place a report of each Epic on Confluence and would like to include a live Burn up chart from the Epic report page on JIRA. Any ideas would be appreciated!


Answers:
author: M?rti?? Vanags
body: [@Chris808](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4830201)

try exploring the "eazyBI for Confluence" app to publish dynamic eazyBI reports on Confluence pages.

<https://docs.eazybi.com/eazybi/publish-reports/publish-in-confluence-pages>

It comes with additional measures for page view measures, task analysis, and apossibility to export whole confluence page including eazyBI reports to PDF.

Martins / eazyBI support team


author: Sjoquist, Carl
body: The simplest option would be to take a screenshot of the charts and add as a static image. A solution that allows interaction with the chart and its filters would be to use a tool like eazyBI which supports output to an iframe. With this you could add a chart for each epic, or a single chart and allow the user to set the filter ("page" in eazyBI) to show a specific epic.

comments: author: Chris808
body: That great! thank you for the reply.


author: Sjoquist, Carl
body: You only need the Jira plugin "eazyBI for JIra" to export an eazyBI report as an iframe to include on a Confluence page. The "eazyBI for Confluence" plugin gives you a macro that makes that simpler and also allows reporting on Confluence metrics, but that still requires the "eazyBI for Jira" plugin to do reporting on Jira data, like epic burndown.

I wonder if confluence groups can belong to upper and lower objects.
Asked by Thomas K:

Hello,  
We are currently using confluence in conjunction with directory : LDAP server.  
I wonder if it is possible to map upper and lower directories between organizations (groups) in confluence.

For example, if we have A(high) \> B(medium) \> C(low) organization,  
1-C(group) is in B(group) and B(group) is in A(group).  
2-Permission granted to A(group) to automatically obtain permission for B and C


Answers:
author: Thiago Masutti
body: Hi [@Thomas K](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4856368)

Your description sounds like nested groups, which is supported by Confluence and other Atlassian products.

Please check [Managing Nested Groups](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/managing-nested-groups-229838455.html) and let us know if that's what you are looking for.

Kind regards,  
Thiago Masutti

comments: author: Thomas K
body: Thanks [@Thiago Masutti](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1209618)

Q-1. Are you any easier way than to inherit the group by hand?

Q-2. Is performance overloaded when using nested groups?

Q-3. Are there any areas (disadvantages) that we should consider when using nested groups?


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Confluence just reads the groups and users from the user directories.

Does group C have permission to do X?

Does LDAP tell Confluence that members of group C are also in B and A?

How to restrict uploads by file extension
Asked by Bm1115xdo:

I would like to set a file extension that can be uploaded and a file extension that cannot be uploaded. What should I do?


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hi [@Bm1115xdo](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4864286),

Welcome to Atlassian Community, and thank you for raising this request.

It's not possible to restrict file uploads by extension/ file type in Confluence Cloud. We had a few requests for this in the past, but we, unfortunately, don't have plans to implement it.

Refer to the following closed feature requests and the linked related cases:

* [CONFCLOUD-59055](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-59055) *Add the ability to restrict file upload based on the file type*

My sincere apologies since I know this isn't the answer you were hoping to hear.

Take care, and I hope you have a nice rest of your week.

Thanks for your reply  
It was very helpful  

Let me ask you an additional question  

Regarding file upload, is there a way to limit the files uploaded by other than the extension?  

And, Is it possible to prohibit uploads and downloads for all files?


author: DJ
body: Hi [@Bm1115xdo](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4864286) !

You can restrict the ability to add attachments to pages at the space or site level, if that is what you are trying to do.

The global option is in the site admin console at

```
<your site>/wiki/admin/permissions/viewdefaultspacepermissions.action
```

Cheers,

DJ

Is it possible to change the file upload authority for each page?


author: DJ
body: Hi [@Bm1115xdo](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4864286) !

You can restrict attachment operations at the space level in addition to the global restrictions linked above - but not directly on a page-by-page basis.

Strategies to get around this could include:

* Use a combination of the global permissions and space permissions alongside organizing your content by space to keep groups of pages attachment-free per your requirements
* Depending on your hosting model, you could write a plugin that intercepts requests to \`doattachfile.action\` and/or execute whatever business logic you need
  * If you did this, you could achieve your earlier requirement of restricting based on file type

Good luck!

Usually users get the above error when they do not have "view" permission on the space.

When you say users , are these licensed users who can login fine and not able to see a particular space ? Or you are talking about anonymous users.

Title above my header
Asked by M. Cristina Pullen:

Why is my page title (the one that's created automatically after creating a page, not with the heading 1 font) above my header? I need to move it below my header and menu bar.


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

I'm afraid the short answer is that you can't.

The page title is not part of the structure of the content, as the headers are.

Several authors have said that you could think of it as "h0.", meaning it's the zeroth header level, which can only occur once in a page, because it defines the entire page, and hence can only appear above everything else.

If you dig into the code of Confluence, you would find that there are (I am over-simplifying this) three layers. They are:

* Confluence's system stuff (menu bar if you're looking at content, everything when you're on the dashboard, being an admin or searching)
* The frame within which a page is displayed (sidebar, page options and a big box for content)
* The content of a page

The page title is part of layer 2, not 3. It's always going to appear at the top of a page, it's in the bar that has the page options in it.

But.

I have a feeling I may be missing something. If the page title is not in layer 2 for you, could you give us a screenshot? Please do simplify the screen if you are worried about sharing the content, it's the structure and view we are interested in (take the shot of a test space with one page and no useful data on it, or fuzz over text and images)


author: Carla Ann Rowland
body: can you send a snapshot? It is difficult to visualize exactly which part of the page you are referring to. I think you are referring to the path created in space hierarchy.

It is also that what you are seeing is part of the template for the page.

Authenticate to retrieve your issues
Asked by Jeffrey Tang:

We have some users that are not able to see the tickets from the jira macro, but other users are able to see. Even going through and allowing access, users are still not able to see the macro. What can I do to solution this?

![Authenticate to retrieve your issues.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/191891iE5EA0DD8415B6FDD/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Authenticate to retrieve your issues.png")


Answers:
author: Ismael Jimoh
body: Hi [@Jeffrey Tang](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4858295)

The typical case here is that the user needs to also login to Jira to see the issues.

If the user logs in and is still not able to see the issue then a potential cause is either the user lacks the appropriate permission or the issue has a security level in place.

To verify this do the following:

1. Go to Jira and open the issue
2. If you are an administrator of Jira then using Permission helper, check if the user has the Browse Issue permission on the project the issue is in
3. If they do, check if the issue has the any issue security level in place.

I will start with these to verify the problem in question.

Regards

author: Shannon S
body: Hi Frank,

Welcome to Atlassian Community, and thank you for raising this with us. From what I understand, you want to have numbered headings in your template.

Confluence doesn't have the native capability to apply numbered headings at the moment, but we have an open feature request related to that:

* [CONFCLOUD-1732](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-1732) *Numbered Headings*

There's also a feature request to automate *page title* numbering in templates that you might find interesting:

* [CONFCLOUD-22704](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-22704) *Automatic page title formatting from page template*

Various Marketplace apps support numbered headings; you can check those out below:

* [Atlassian Marketplace \> numbered headings apps](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/search?hosting=cloud&query=numbered%20headings)

I haven't used these personally, so I can't confirm if they work with templates, but you can reach out to the apps' vendors, and they can tell you more.

Take care,

Is it possible to add a hyperlink in a table transformer header?
Asked by PA BRISON:

Hello

Is it possible to add a hyperlink in the header of a table transformer?

something like this in the SQL SELECT:

T2.'Key' AS FORMATWIKI("\[Column header"+"\|"+"<https://my.url.com>\]"),

I get a syntax error when I try.

Ultimately I would like to have as the URL the query used to to create my T2 table (equivalent of "View in Jira", when you right click on the table in the edit view of Confluence). Is there a way to get this URL from T2 in the SQL query?

Thanks a lot in advance if you can help!


Answers:
author: Katerina Kovriga {Stiltsoft}
body: Hi [@PA BRISON](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4863413) ,

As for now your case is not possible, but we've added your idea to the backlog.

You may still try the following workaround:

![Thu 5-1.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/191978iDB8D0AA38E718158/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Thu 5-1.png")

Check both transpose options in the [Table Transformer](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/public/TFAC/How+to+use+Table+Transformer+macro?utm_source=atl_community&utm_medium=answer&utm_campaign=table-filter-traffic-sources&utm_vendorID=1216111) macro:

Use the following SQL query:

SELECT \*,  
FORMATWIKI("\[" + T1.'Key' + "\|" + "<https://mycompany.com/>" + "\]") AS 'Key'  
FROM T\*

![Thu 5-3.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/191980i634B3E71CE656D58/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Thu 5-3.png")

Now all the headers ex?ept the first one contain the links that you have put in your SQL query.

Embedding a PowerPoint Presentation with a hyperlink
Asked by Sachin Mathur:

Hi,

I plan to have a table for multiple presentations and would like to only include a hyperlink (text) for each presentation. On clicking the hyperlink, the viewer should be able to access the embedded presentation.

![Capture.PNG](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/191854iF1D9B3064D01F215/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Capture.PNG")

I'm able to attach the pptx files to the page, but unable to use a hyperlink. I believe the hyperlink is reserved for only linking pages. The macro for PPT files doesn't seem to address this usecase.

Thanks.


Answers:
author: Andy Gladstone
body: [@Sachin Mathur](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4863324) Welcome to Confluence Cloud.

I think I can help but would like to clarify what you are looking to accomplish. Is it that the hyperlink should take the user to another page in Confluence where the embedded .ppt file is viewed? This would require that .ppt file to be an attachment anywhere in Confluence that is then embodied in the page through the PPT Macro.

If this is what you are looking to do, please let me know and I can post a guide on how to accomplish it. If not, please clarify so I can assist.

Thanks!

comments: author: Sachin Mathur
body: Thanks Andy.

Yes, upon clicking the link, a page should open with the PPT with a \< \> on the right bottom to advance the slides (below).

author: Andy Gladstone
body: What you will need to do to accomplish this is:

1. Upload your PowerPoint documents into Confluence. They can be an attachment on any page, but best practice is to attach them to the page they will be used on.
2. Insert the /ppt macro on the page you want the PowerPoint to be displayed on.
3. Use the /link macro in your table to hyperlink to the page that the PowerPoint is on.

It's pretty simple and a repeatable process.

author: Jaz Wilkinson
body: I would also like a better solution here. I do not want to upload a static file of a Powerpoint doc - it will be out of date immediately. I want to be able to embed a Powerpoint presentation that is online - so it can be viewed as a slide show in the Confluence page.  
It is really not great that so many people in orgs still use Powerpoint to communicate but they do because it is easy for them. We need to make it easy to encourage good practices with being able to embed external documents so they are always up to date and people know where they are.  

This shouldn't be so hard.
