Answers:
author: Stephen Sifers
body: Hello Aditya,

To get a bit more detail on this, can you please answer the following:

* Which version of Confluence did you restore your cloud backup into?
* Does Confluence start without issue? You're presented with the login screen?

To confirm the password reset procedure;

* You stopped Confluence and made the changes to your configuration files?
* Once the changes were made, you started Confluence manually (**not by starting the Confluence service** ) and attempted a login with the user **recovery_admin**but the password you set did not work?

For more about manually starting Confluence please see: [Start and Stop Confluence](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/start-and-stop-confluence-838416264.html)

We look forward to your response so we may help you to resolve your issue.

Users are no longer able to login to confluence after migration to new server
Asked by Transity Technologies:

We recently migrated to a new machine hosting jira and confluence ( we migrated them together). I need help in making the users able to access both the portals as well as crucible which we recently installed along with Jira and confluence. I have tried every way . It does not work. Need some handholding and help in getting this done.

This is very important.

Thanks


Answers:
author: Vasiliy Zverev
body: Dear Transity, hi!

If you use Jira as user directory for Confluence you could try to check user directory settings into confluence.

author: Bastian Stehmann
body: Hi [@Transity Technologies](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/164056),

Things you can check are, if your application links are working still properly. And check user directory settings in the applications where the users can not log in.

Maybe there are also some messages in the log files that can help analyse this issue.

delete rest api returns "Cannot find space with key"
Asked by Bart Jol:

Hi,

First an intro how we got where we are now:  
We have imported a space from another confluence instance, which happend tto have the same space key as one already existing. We've exported the space, renamed the spacekey in the entities.xml and exportDescriptor.properties files and imported the space. This results in a space, but misses the content.  
We did not do the search and replace through the whole tree, but probably to read that manual better (own mistake).  

Now, however, I want to cleanup the imported empty spaces, I can find them in the space directory, but when I select that space, I get a Page not found and cannot edit the space itself.  
So I tried to delete the space via the rest API via a DELETE query.

A get query for <https://confluence.mydomain.com/rest/api/space/SPACEKEY> works and returns space info, but when I do a delete query it returns "Cannot find space with key".

Also, the content query for the space returns space not found. The homepage however, seems to exist.  
Any ideas how I can remove the empty space without diving into the database?

Kind regards  
Bart


Answers:
author: Bart Jol
body: Thanks!

it is an administrator user. Tried to look at the permissions for the space, but that give me the Page not found page.

Made a private testspace with another user and was able to delete that space with the API, so it seems the rights are sufficient.


author: Vasiliy Zverev
body: Dear Bart, hi!

It could be some permission issue. Make sure, that user, used for REST has delete space permission.

Best regards,

Vasiliy
Closing actions from a task report macro doesn't work
Asked by Valentine Charles:

Dear all,

Here is my issue: I create actions for each of the retrospective meetings I have in my teams. I have created a page using the task report macro to gather all the actions. I used to be able to close actions directly from that page but now it doesn't work anymore.

What could be the issue?

I thank you very much in advance for your help

<br />

Best,   
Valentine


Answers:
author: Valentine Charles
body: Hello Shannon,

I'm using Confluence Cloud and I couldn't find a reference to a specific version.

Yes when I go to a page with a task report macro and check an action box there it is not saved and not marked as close.

I thank you very much in advance for your help.

Best,

Valentine

comments: author: Shannon S
body: Valentine,

Thank you for confirming that you are using the Confluence Cloud version.

I'm testing this on my own instance, first by creating a page using the **Meeting Notes** template.

I add some actions to the page, assign them to myself, and save the page.

Next, I create a new page, insert Task Report Macro, and use it to display issues assigned to myself. I confirm that I can check off tasks here, and they are checked on the Meeting Notes page, and vice versa. I'm not able to replicate the behavior you're experiencing.

There is a current bug for the tasks not working properly all the time, which might be what you ran into:

* [CONFCLOUD-58465](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-58465) ***Completing simple tasks or tasks from 'Task Report Macro' is unreliable***

You could try to work around it with the suggestions there, but if you still have difficulty, I would recommend raising a [support request with the Cloud team](http://support.atlassian.com). They will be able to have a look at the affected instance as well as have a look at your log files to see what might be causing it.

Let me know if you have any questions about that.

Regards,

Shannon


author: Shannon S
body: Valentine,

Which version of Confluence is this in reference to?

To confirm, when you go to a page which includes task report macro, you check the box next to the task, and it doesn't save?

I have some complex template which doesn't work with source editor, so when I want to convert a page into template with variable, there have a lot of string replace works.

I was thinking use source editor, but after open with source editor so embedded macro stop working.

the the last solution I am thinking direct edit the template file from file system or database, need some help.


Answers:

I would recommend instead of trying to edit the templates directly that you utilize Blueprints.

Here's some more information on that:

Do let us know if you have any questions about that.

Power BI fails to connect to Confluence Cloud page with web connector
Asked by Paul Craven:

I am trying to gather table information on a Confluence page that I want in Power BI to analyse.

From Power BI, I choose Get Data \> Web \> paste the Confluence URL, enter the Confluence credentials as basic but then this error shows;

*Unable to Connect*

*We encountered an error while trying to connect.*

*Details: "The credentials provided cannot be used for the web source....*

Is it possible to connect to Confluence Cloud using Power BI Web connector? There does not seem to be any connectors for Confluence Cloud to Power BI in marketplace.


Answers:
author: Stephen Sifers
body: Hello Paul,

Using Power BI to access data within Confluence is a great idea. However, Confluence will require authentication through the portal to allow for viewing of the contents of pages. This means you won't be able to connect using a web connector with credentials within Power BI.

Another option would be to access Confluence via the REST API. You can find more about the [Confluence REST API](https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/rest/) within the documentation. There is also a Power BI community post about accessing data from Atlassian products via the API. This example uses Jira, but the method used will be similar for access Confluence. You may find that post at <https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Desktop/Get-data-from-Jira-Rest-API/td-p/516130>.

I hope this sheds some light on accessing data within Confluence through Power BI and provides options moving forward. When you able to gain access to the data, please let us know what you did so other may learn from your adventure!

Regards,  
Stephen Sifers

Is there any way to associate an icon with a specific template?
Asked by Brent Knowles:

i.e., if meeting notes had a different icon than normal pages than they would stand out better when doing a search.

Right now if you do a search you and get multiple matches, visually being able to see that a page is a meeting note versus a decision versus a standard note, would improve the search efficiency / user experience.


Answers:
author: Stephen Sifers
body: Hello Brent and welcome to the Community!

This is a great idea, and you're not the first to ask about this either. We had a question similar to this which [@Shannon S](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/510046) provided a great answer for. The answer Shannon put together is as follows:

[Source question](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/is-it-possible-to-change-the-page-icon-for-different-page/qaq-p/720454)

> * [How to Customize Confluence Icons](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/how-to-customize-confluence-icons-151519281.html)
>
> Personally, I'm not sure how you would specify different icons for different page templates, since Confluence currently sees them as either a page or a blog post. There's no additional categories here, so I would imagine it would require quite a bit more of development.
>
> I would encourage you to also visit our [Developer Resources](https://developer.atlassian.com/help/) if that's something you'd be interested in.

As site admin, how to edit page restriction made by another user ?
Asked by Ryan Triwardhana:

Hi,

I am currently having access as site admin of confluence site that my company use and I need to make sure that some of the page within spaces could not be seen/edited by new group of users.

I found out I can easily access all sites within the confluence and set restriction to all the pages, however I could not set restriction to pages which are not made by my account even though I have privilege as a site admin.

![Restriction.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/40796i9614352C5E460BA1/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Restriction.png")

is there any way to change this restriction without asking the users manually doing it ?

and I also finding a way to do this without a plugin if its possible

thank you


Answers:
author: carolyn french
body: Hi Ryan,

Check and see if you have the restrictions permission in Space Settings.

If not, add yourself there.

Hope this helps!

comments: author: Ryan Triwardhana
body: Hi Carolyn,

It seems I don't have that setting options on my confluence, should I enable it somewhere ?

author: carolyn french
body: Confluence administrators aren't necessarily space administrators. In order for them to be a space admin, they must belong to a group which has space admin and view permission for the space, or their username must be specifically granted space admin and view permission for the space.

Ask the space admin to grant you access so you can deal with these restricted pages.


author: Ryan Triwardhana
body: I see, so in my case there is no other way to change this restriction without asking the space admin to include me to each of their sites.

that would be hard since I should deal with more than 200 space admin at once.

still seeking other way, but this clear things up.

thank you


author: carolyn french
body: You're welcome- I'll keep trying to think of other ways. Was even trying to think through add-ons, but you're more limited with Cloud.

How do I stop watching a calendar in confluence that's not configured to be watched?
Asked by Daniel Gomez:

No spaces or pages are being watched under the profile, When checking the settings for the calendar it says watch, and the only thing checked in email settings are subscribe to new follower notifications.

\*Did some digging, found what I believe is related:

<https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-35478>


Answers:
author: EJ Hunyadi
body: We were able to resolve this once we determined a user was watching a space that had a calendar. Once she un-watched the space, she no longer received email notifications from the calendar.


author: Zak Laughton
body: There is another related bug that may resolve the issue: [CONFSERVER-48832 - Users receive emailed notifications for calendars they don't watch](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-48832). Sometimes, the "Stop Watching" option will not show up unless you navigate to the calendar via the "Calandars" link in the top Navigation bar.

Whenever I've seen this issue in the past, it's resolved by following the steps in the **Workaround** section *exactly*to view the "Stop Watching" option.
