Am I able to restrict someone to an overall space, and only have them able to access a page within the space and its subset?
Asked by Kevin Kinisky:

*This question is in reference to Atlassian Documentation: [Page Restrictions](https://confluence.atlassian.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=139414)*

Ask your question here...


Answers:
author: TomC
body: It's doable, but has to utilize some combination of space permissions and page restrictions.

One way to do that would be to have the 'someone' included in the *permissions* of your space, but *restrict* the home page of that space (or one of its children, depending upon if you wanted them to be able to see the home page or not) to a group or set of individuals that include all those you do want to access the overall space. THEN, create or move a page into 'orphan' category so it is not subject to the inherited restrictions of the home page (you can do this in the tree view of pages in Space Admin, and drag and drop the page above the home page), and include that person in the View restrictions of that page OR if everyone can view it including that 'someone', no restrictions or necessary - it can be linked to for others from a viewable page but the 'someone' would need to be supplied the direct link and then save or favorite it for future access.

How do I give Jira users access to public spaces?
Asked by Brett:

I have JIRA users who are not confluence users.

These users cannot access public spaces

How do I give them access?


Answers:
author: Rob Woodgate
body: JIRA and Confluence share user management, so although they are different applications there is only one "instance". If you're logged into JIRA you will not be anonymous because you are logged into the "instance".

To allow JIRA users to access the same spaces as Anonymous users, give the JIRA users permission to access Confluence, then set up a group in User Management and add the JIRA users to it. Then give that group the same View permissions as your Anonymous users. Make sure you remove your JIRA users from the default confluence-users group.

The one drawback to this is that each of the JIRA users will be counted against your licence cost for Confluence. If you're not close to using your licence allocation for the tier you're in, this won't cost you anything extra, but keep an eye on your user count to make sure you don't get automatically moved into the next tier (unless you're fine with moving to the next tier, of course!).


author: Florian Nagel
body: I'm having the same problem. If the user is not logged in, he is anonymouse but after he logs in into JIRA he loses his access to see the "public space" from Confluence. Do you have a solution?


author: James Dellow
body: You need to configure the Global Permissions to grant anonymous access, but this will also make your content public (unless you are using with JIRA Service Desk). See <https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/global-permissions-overview-724765488.html>

question about Example 3 in the "Using Clover in various environment" page
Asked by will zhang:

Hi,

A clover question:

I'm trying to collect code coverage result from our system test framework. I found the example 3( or 3b) matches my scenarios on this page: <https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CLOVER/Using+Clover+in+various+environment+configurations#UsingCloverinvariousenvironmentconfigurations-Example#3-multipleapplicationsexecutedonseveralserversinisolation>

I'm confused about this line "As every application runs in their own JVM and due to fact that we have used cloverDatabase (and optionally singleCloverDatabase) pointing to absolute path on a network drive, we don't need to provide *clover.initstring* parameter at runtime, because correct path is hardcoded in instrumented classes."  

Where does the "correct path" of clover.db stored? Hardcoded in the instrumented classes?

If that's the case, does that mean 2 clover instrumented apps can run on the same JVM and we can collect the code coverage data without a problem? Assuming I put the clover.db files into the same path as it was in the build machine?

Thanks in advance,

Will


Answers:
author: Marek Parfianowicz
body: Hi Will,
> Where does the "correct path" of clover.db stored? Hardcoded in the instrumented classes?

Yes, Clover stores a path to a database file in every class instrumented (more precisely - in every top-level class, for anonymous classes or inner classes it uses a path from the enclosing class).

> If that's the case, does that mean 2 clover instrumented apps can run on the same JVM and we can collect the code coverage data without a problem?

Yes, in a single JVM you can run multiple applications or application modules with different paths to clover.db.

> Assuming I put the clover.db files into the same path as it was in the build machine?

Yes, in case you used an absolute path in initstring, then you have to store clover.db files in the same location.

You can either copy them from a build machine to a test machine (e.g. tar -cf clover.db.tar \`find . -name clover.db\`; scp clover.db.tar ...) or use a network drive.

Alternatively, you can use a relative path and use -Dclover.initstring or -Dclover.initstring.basedir property on a test machine.

Regards  
Marek

comments: author: will zhang
body: Thanks for the help!


author: Marek Parfianowicz
body: PS: Please have a look also at Example #4 from the page you linked - I guess you may be interested in having per-test code coverage in reports. Also have a look at this tutorial: [Working+with+Distributed+Applications](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CLOVER/Working+with+Distributed+Applications) - it shows a standard setup.

How can you prevent users from completing tasks not assigned to them?
Asked by Leanne:

I am able to create and assign tasks to particular users. However, I cannot seem to prevent other users from completing tasks that are not assigned to them.

Does anybody have any insight into locking down task permissions? Thanks!


Answers:
author: James Dellow
body: The only way I'm aware you could do this is through page permissions, but that would lock down the whole page - including all the tasks on it - to a specific user or set of users.

It might be fiddly, but you could create a single page per task (with page permissions) and use the Page Properties Report Macro to pull them all into a single page. The report respects page permissions, so only the assigned user can complete them on that page.

comments: author: Leanne
body: That makes sense! The only drawback is I was wanting this to be a collaborative effort in which all members of the team could see the progress of the project. I could lock down the permissions to the page to a group of folks and hope they don't go click happy on other people's tasks :smile:

Confluence plugin for space- or page-level variables?
Asked by Robert Lauriston:

Adobe FrameMaker and MadCap Flare have variable features that allow you to reuse content (as you can in Confluence with the Excerpt, Excerpt Include, and Include Page macros) and have such things such as product names and release versions change to match the current project.

Is there anything available like that for Confluence? I'd expect K15t's Scroll Versions to have that feature, but I can't find it in their documentation.

Atlassian's template variables are a different feature. What I'm looking for is covered by <https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONF-3999>.


Answers:
author: EPS Software Engineering AG
body: Hi Robert,

Our [Easy Space Variables](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/eps.focuspro.variables/server/overview) Add-on let you add variables on space level and use them on pages and blog posts. But you can't use them in the page- or blog post titles.

Simply integrate the variables into your text flow without the added bulk of a macro. On top the Confluence search finds replacement values as well as the variables themselves.

Regards,  
Stephan


author: Robert Reiner _smartics_
body: I do not know the products you mentioned. If you are looking for a feature to define properties at space or page level you could have a look at the (commercial) [projectdoc Toolbox](https://www.smartics.eu/confluence/x/EAFk). These properties can be accessed from any any page and used to select pages using queries.

[Using Space Properties](https://www.smartics.eu/confluence/x/SQNwAg) is an introduction to space properties to find out if this is really what you are looking for.

I made a comment to the ticket (CONF-3999), but I added this answer just in case you overlooked it. :smile:

**Biased alert** : I'm one of the authors of the projectdoc Toolbox. :wink:


author: Milo Test
body: That open req is your answer: There is no built-in variable ability.

You might be able to do what you want with something like Confiforms.

How would this be fixed in a Confluence hosted instance?
Asked by Scott Welker:

*This question is in reference to Atlassian Documentation: ['Some events were not shown in the calendars below because there were too many of them' error in Team Calendars for Confluence](https://confluence.atlassian.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=295305617)*

How would this be fixed in a Confluence hosted instance?


Answers:
author: Jonas Andersson
body: Was not aware of these limitations, but i assume by removing events (that possible are already past). However it sounds like it's a limitation that either have to go, or be increased in your case. I would raise a "Feature request"/"Bug" report with Atlassian support.

comments: author: Scott Welker
body: Thanks Jonas for your feedback. I am not especially fond of this answer but, it seems to be the correct answer.

For one client's use case, "200 events per calendar" is far too small. We're moving them off of their nascent hosted-Confluence.
