Gathering user permissions in Confluence Cloud
Asked by Francisco Leiton:

Hi guys,

I'm trying to make to create a mapping between users/permissions for my app-client connected to the Atlassian Confluence Cloud. Is there anyway to get that information?? If not can you recommend me something?


Answers:
author: Rob Woodgate
body: Hi Francisco,

In User Management click the Export Users button. This will display an export screen:

Export Users.png

This will create a csv file of the user data, including group membership if you select it.

If that's not enough, [here](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/search?q=user+permissions) are the plug-ins on the Atlassian Marketplace for "user permissions". Some of them look like they have functionality that might interest you.

How do you make previews work in the PlantUML plugin editor?
Asked by Fred Ross:

We have installed the PlantUML plugin for Confluence cloud. If we put a snippet of PlantUML code in the definition and hit save, it is generated and shows up appropriately. However, hitting the blue arrow to the right of the definition box does nothing on the screen (no preview appears).

The only errors I can find are in the console:

body: The preview works for us, the console output is just Atlassian's debug output. What browser/version are you using? Any third-party extensions that might block content?

What if my space size(s) are too large to migrate?
Asked by Steven Albert:

The maximum back-up file size that can be uploaded to migrate from server to cloud hosting is 200 megabytes. The migration documentation says that, when a back-up is larger than 200 megabytes, you should export spaces and upload them individually along with user data. What if a backed-up space is larger than 200 megabytes?


Answers:
author: Rob Woodgate
body: Hi Steven,

This is probably a question that only Atlassian can answer, as they run the Cloud hosting. However, if the space isn't much bigger than 200mb then the simple way would be to download the biggest attachments, delete them from the space and then re-upload them once you've migrated.

Confluence 'mobile' for customers
Asked by Mandi Chiancone:

How can our customers use the Confluence mobile app to view documentation if they are not registered (licensed) users of Confluence?


Answers:
author: Rob Woodgate
body: Hi Amanda,

In **Confluence Administration** \> **Global Permissions** you can turn on Anonymous Access. This allows anonymous users to access Confluence. You'll need to also turn on Anonymous Access in each space that anonymous users are allowed to view, by going to the Permissions page in each space.

Anonymous users are not counted towards your licence. Confluence will work out if the users are accessing it through a browser or a mobile app, and adjust the formatting/display accordingly.

if you are updating the minutes (confluence page) every day with important items, is mail sent out to the ones mentioned first day, or you have to retype their names everyday ?
Asked by Skarbinski Dagny:

*This question is in reference to Atlassian Documentation: [Using Mentions](https://confluence.atlassian.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=428803464)*

Ask your question here...


Answers:
author: Rob Woodgate
body: Hi,

Mentions will only send out a notification the first time you save the page with the mention on. If you edit the page afterwards, the mention notification won't be sent out again.

If you want users to be notified whenever the page changes, either they can click the [Watch](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/watch-pages-spaces-and-blogs-139579.html) option at the top of the page, or if you're an administrator you can click the Watch option \> [Manage Watchers](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/manage-watchers-218271870.html) and add them as watchers. When someone is watching a page they get notified whenever the page is edited.

When will personal tasks be available in Confluence Cloud?
Asked by Joaquin Brillembourg:

I need a way to make personal To-Do's inside Confluence but can't find a way to do it. While I'm working in something future tasks appear and I need somewhere to write them down to keep in control of what to do.

I end up using external apps because Confluence Cloud doesn't give me an option. I can only do this inside spaces that have content.


Answers:
author: Milo Test
body: Just use the Task list and assign everything to yourself. Then use the Task report to see what you have left to do.

comments: author: Joaquin Brillembourg
body: But that means I have to create a Blank Page and start pouring in all the task. Whenever I need to add one, I have to go to that page, then Edit it and save, and then go to the Task Report to see all the To-Dos.

Why don't Confluence adds up the feature it has in Confluence Server?


author: Milo Test
body: I do this on my personal page. I have both the Task list and the Task report there, works well enough for me.


author: Joaquin Brillembourg
body: Thanks @Milo Grika but it seem to me that this is a useful feature that Confluence could add in the Cloud-Based App

Import / Email to Blogs?
Asked by Courtney Langdon:

We're trying to make our blogs more useful by including our teams' latest updates, but people complain about having to create the blog. Is there anyway / any integrations where users could email in a blog? Salesforce (our external community) provides unique email addresses to each user group / space, so you can email the group and it will post your email. We were hoping that Confluence (our internal community) could do something similar. If not allow for email, maybe an integration with Outlook?

I'm open to ideas and suggestions!

Thanks!


Answers:
author: Bart Meerveld
body: As far as i am aware Confluence doesn't have a 'standard' mail handler or mail functionality. There are several add-ons that allow this though, for example <https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/biz.artemissoftware.plugins.confluence.send-email-to-page/server/overview>

comments: author: Courtney Langdon

Confluence 6 'concurrent page edition': how many users max at the same time?
Asked by Nicolas Casel:

Hello,

Confluence 6 offers now the 'concurrent page editing':

<https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/concurrent-editing-and-merging-changes-144719.html>

=\> How to know what is the **maximum number of users** that can edit a wiki page at **the same time**?

Thank you,


Answers:
author: Rob Woodgate
body: Hi Nicolas,

There isn't a defined maximum, at least not one that Atlassian have made public. Best practise is to edit as much as you want, but save regularly. The more people that are editing, and the longer they edit without saving, the longer it will take to save and merge the changes.

Configuration of attachment macro in confluence
Asked by M Vijay Kumar:

Hi All,

We are trying to implement confluence in our project and we are in the process of evaluating the tool. One interesting use case is how do we group the attachments. Is there a way we can use some custom fields and use them to filter the attachments.

I have seen attachment macro but it has some limitations. Any information provided will be really helpful.

Thanks,

Vijay


Answers:
author: Milo Test
body: If the attachments are well named, I find the use of RegEx to be the most powerful way to group attachments.


author: Vasiliy Zverev
body: As for me the best way to use atachment macro is filter attachments by labels. For this to each attachment should be added any labels. Then you need just to filter by these labels.

how to backup only pages in confluence
Asked by indra:

we need to migrate confluence v5.10.8 server to another v5.10.8 ,but i have same space name(with same key) in both confluence servers,now I want import only pages in source space to target space,is it possible? how to do it.


Answers:
author: J. Caldwell
body: You will need to follow these steps: <https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/how-to-copy-or-rename-a-space-in-confluence-169578.html>

You should avoid just exporting the pages and then importing them into the space of the new instance directly. You are still backing up a "space" if you do the selective XML backup, and when you restore of the space xml could actually cause you problems and data loss. When you backup pages into XML, the intent is you restore them in a space that doesn't already exist. Not into something that doesn't already exist. Given that the space exists on the destination, importing into a space that doesn't exist and then moving the content over will be the safest way to accomplish the task. Otherwise, you may end up having to restore the whole of the destination.

Retrieve a single field value from JIRA in Confluence.
Asked by voisard:

The goal is to build a Confluence page from a template. This template uses a variable that will contain on JIRA issue key. We use a user macro that passes that key as part of a JQL query to the regular JIRA macro. The result is as usual wrapped in a table.

Now I wonder if you know any possibility to retrieve just one field value and return it to Confluence without any markup around, so e.g. it can be used in floating text.

My attempt to find an answer even by excessive googling so far was unsuccessful. So if you can share resources that clarify my issue, please feel free to do so.


Answers:
author: Steven F Behnke
body: This is not possible out of the box. There are some add-ons that accomplish this, such as [this one.](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.capitaladdons.confluence.plugin.macro.ca-jira-confluence-issue-macro/server/overview)

comments: author: voisard

body: Using this add-on, is this possible to get Jira "Components" system field and it's values return it to Confluence page e.g. it can be used in floating text?


author: Paul Biagio
body: So I hacked together some code quickly to resolve this issue (I created a user macro for it):

```
<script>AJS.toInit(function(){ setTimeout(function(){      AJS.$(".jira-table").each( function() {   if (AJS.$(this).find( "td" ).length == 1) {    var text = AJS.$(this).find(AJS.$("td.jira-macro-table-underline-pdfexport")).text();    AJS.$(this).html(text);   }  }); }, 500); });</script>
```

Why does the backspace key go to the beginning of the current word?
Asked by Bob Crocker:

When editing inConfluence, why does the backspace key (often but not always) go to the beginning of the current word instead of deleting the character to the left?

When I'm editing in Confluence, I sometimes miss a character and then rapidly backspace 2-8 times to back up and re-type the rest of the word. Sometimes that works fine but - annoying often - I find that the cursor has skipped backward a whole word and I've just deleted the space between the words and the end of the previous word.

My preferred browser is Chrome and it is up to date.

I don't see this happening in other applications - so far just Confluence.


Answers:
author: Bob Crocker
body: My Confluence version is 5.10.7.


author: Steven F Behnke
body: This sounds like a bug, with which you'd probably go through <https://support.atlassian.com> for. Without knowing your version of Confluence, I can't dig too much either.

For the record: I use Chrome and Confluence 5.9.5 right now and I do NOT experience this issue.
Automagically kill an expensive query
Asked by Phet Phosy:

Does anyone know if there is a way to auto kill an expensive query rather than manually killing the thread.. say someone added a condition to a workflow/transition which queries JIRA projects (all) ... how does one kill it without a man in the middle... does JIRA (perhaps, plugin?) have this capability to detect/monitor/autokill?


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: \>say someone added a condition to a workflow/transition which queries JIRA projects (all)

As a JIRA admin, I'd remove it, and educate the person not to do things that break the systems. Prevent rather than plaster over a crack.
