How edit SourceTree's auto-created visualstudio.com vsts credentials?
Asked by giovanni-mattucci:

**Note: I am using embedded git**   
When connecting to a GIT repo on visualstudio.com, SourceTree seems to automatically store some credentials for VSTS that cannot be edited:

![image1.PNG](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/32765iAFCA9BE478B07834/image-dimensions/538x472?v=v2 "image1.PNG")

How do I edit these credentials? Or add non bitbucket/github credentials manually?

The "Add" option only allows you to set bitbucket or github accounts. If I had the ability to add any account, I could create a visualstudio credential how it needs to be by using the add option under the authentication tab.

An additional issue is that a VSTS "[Personal access token](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/organizations/accounts/use-personal-access-tokens-to-authenticate?view=vsts)" is automatically generated. VSTS continually generates a new token whenever I access repos with SourceTree.

body: Hi  

The entries under ***Git Saved Passwords*** are actually managed by the Git Credential Manager for Windows, GCMW, that is part of the Git for Windows distribution.  

It is the GCMW that Git asks for credentials and the CMW that will prompt you for them if it needs them and then storing and reading to and from the Windows Credential Manager, WCM, you can see them in there prefixed by 'git:'. you can add/remove them there, but not edit.

For Sourcetree's accounts it will share the credentials you enter in Sourcetree with the GCMW by writing them into the correct place in the WCM. The same credentials can then be used by Git and by Sourcetree for REST calls.  

Sourcetree v3.0, currently in beta testing, adds VSTS as an account type along side Bitbucket, GitHub and GitLab

comments: author: giovanni-mattucci
body: Awesome, thanks Micheal.

Does the fact that git saved passwords are managed by Git Credential Manager for Windows hold true when using SourceTree's embedded git?

Very boring support for scaffolding in Confluence cloud
Asked by Matthias Flury:

Also in Feb 2024 the support for scaffolding migration to cloud is very poor. We feel really pissed of by the producers of scaffolding. Even their support links ends up no where.

A reason more to switch to an other profider than atlassian.

Please feel free to email us at [*support@appfire.com*](mailto:support@appfire.com) or create a support ticket directly in [Appfire's support portal](https://appfire.atlassian.net/servicedesk/customer/portals), and our team will be assisting to unblock your challenges.

Thank you.

body: Hi [@Matthias Flury](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1242414)

I understand your frustrations. However if a vendor is not providing you proper support I am not sure that moving away from the Atlassian overall is the best solution. It sounds like an issue with the product team of scaffolding instead, of which Atlassian can't be responsible. Similar to how Google or Apple aren't responsible for apps on their app store. But if you had trouble with the latter would you switch phones or just find a new app?

While Atlassian does offer a third party Marketplace, the Marketplace is essentially just an app store for a business rather than a device. I would highly recommend looking at a different product for Confluence that does something similar if you are unhappy with a specific vendor and app maker that provides better overall support.

I do see this app is made by Appfire who generally has good support. So if you have only tried to go through the Scaffolding pages directly I may recommend emailing support@appfire.com instead.   

Doing some quick research an alternative app could be: [https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1218917/blueprint-creator-advanced-templates-pages-blog-spaces?hosting=datacenter\&tab=overview](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1218917/blueprint-creator-advanced-templates-pages-blog-spaces?hosting=datacenter&tab=overview)

Another alternative based on what Scaffolding does would be to look at Jira Work Management: <https://www.atlassian.com/software/jira/work-management>

SourceTree keeps asking Github username and password and authentication keeps failing

Remove User from Space Users
Asked by Kevin Lu:

Dear Confluence Experts,

This is really frustrating. In Space Users, there is a way to add but there is no way to "remove" users. How do I remove users from Space Users? For example, I need to remove person named Sara from Space Users.

![Screenshot 2024-02-05 at 10.03.19?AM.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/304392iADC1127F4D8ADA6D/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Screenshot 2024-02-05 at 10.03.19?AM.png")


Answers:
author: Sushant Verma
body: Hi [@Kevin Lu](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5403433)   

Welcome to the community!

1. Log into Confluence and view the space from which you want to remove the user.
2. In the bottom-left corner of the browser window, click Space tools, then select Permissions.
3. In the **Individual Users** section (in the middle of the screen), click **Edit Permissions**.
4. On the line that shows the user you want to remove, click to remove every green check.
5. Click Save All when you are finished.

Hope it helps!

Sushant Verma

comments: author: Kevin Lu
body: Dear Sushant,

Thank you for your reply. See, here is my **biggest confusion**, I went to Edit Permissions and under Individual Users, but I don't see Sara. Somehow Sara appears under Space Users (see my first question post).

author: Kristian Klima
body: [@Kevin Lu](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5403433) , Hello. You're probably on Confluence Server and I'm on Cloud but certain things are similar.

So here's the thing... The permission page in settings, under Individual users, only shows the user who have been granted individual permissions outside of their use group.

In other words, not all users are shown under 'individual users' in permissions.

You will likely find Sara under Space Permissions - Users.

If you want to remove a user, then you need to do it as a Confluence Admin.

Users can view, but unfortunately not edit a page in a space
Asked by Jersey Shore:

I have a space where I want users to be able to Edit pages, but not create new pages or delete pages. To keep the space tidy. So....

1. SPACE TOOLS -\> Permissions, I disable everything except for "VIEW" and COMMENTS which have green circles. Everything else, is red circle (disabled).
2. PAGE RESTRICTIONS -\> I provision a group representing my users with "Can Edit".

In theory, the above should work right? Space permissions restrict ability to add new pages, but Page level Restriction explicitly allows EDIT.

But... sadly... this isn't working. Nobody (except me who has all the space permissions) - can see that edit button on the page. The only way I see to fix this is to make "Add Pages" green at Space level. Users can Edit the page - hurray! But they can also add \& publish new pages, which is what I wanted to avoid. Is this a Confluence limitation / bug?

If not, what am I missing? Thanks in advance!


Answers:
author: Trudy Claspill
body: Hello [@Jersey Shore](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5422636)

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

That doesn't appear to be possible at this time, but there is a change request for it to which you can add your vote.

<https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-38722>

(Thanks to [@Ste Wright](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1166470) for providing the answer in [this post](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/Permissions-to-edit-but-not-create/qaq-p/1445870).)

comments: author: Barbara Szczesniak
body: [@Jersey Shore](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5422636) In addition, the permissions in Confluence pages flow downhill (so to speak). You have to give the permissions at the higher level and then restrict permissions at a lower level where you want to limit them.

This means that you **can't** say, "user 1 cannot edit space A (space permissions), except for page XYZ (page permissions)."

You have to say "user 1 can edit space A (space permissions), except for all pages other than XYZ (restrict editing in the page permissions on each page the user cannot edit)."

Note that in the case of being able to edit a child page, you would have to allow the user to edit the parent page(s) up the tree. Of course, as [@Trudy Claspill](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3569011) pointed out, this does allow the user to create pages within the space.


author: Jersey Shore
body: Ty Trudy, Barbara!

Sadly, there is no "Edit" space-level permission. There is Add / Delete at the Space. Its not intuitive that Add Page - is inclusive of Edit. It took me experimenting to see that in the system... that you need ADD at the space-level, in order to edit a page.

Those should arguably be distinctly separate permissions. The result unfortunately, is that I now have users that can create pages - when I wanted to give them edit permissions, only.

I'll vote for it - ty for the link. I can imagine there are many use cases for this - where you want to lock down page creation, but permit editing across the space.

Create new site with the right name
Asked by Paul Schuur:

Hi,

We're piloting with Confluence. Currently, my site has the URL company1.atlassian.net, but I also have company.atlassian.net (currently also used with OpsGenie).

When I create a trial site for Confluence, it gives me the option to create it with company.atlassian.net, but the result is a Confluence site with company1.atlassian.net.

Is there any way to solve this? Is the existence of the OpsGenie site somehow blocking the Confluence site?


Answers:
author: Kristian Klima
body: Hello [@Paul Schuur](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5422630)

You can have multiple Confluence sites in a single Atlassian Cloud org but they can't have identical names.

So just name it trial-company.atlassian.net and you're done.

Mind, those two sites are completely independent - separate licenses, separate user cohorts, separate billing (once can be free, the other Standard), all apps are billed per site.

But users with seats on both 'Confluences' can use use them both seamlessly taking advantage of Cloud integrations (linking, embedding, editing, etc.).

comments: author: Paul Schuur
body: Hi [@Kristian Klima](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5074962)

Thanks for your reply!

When creating the site it doesn't let me choose company.atlassian.net (I tried, but it results in company1). Does this imply that company.atlassian.net is already in use elsewhere?


author: Kristian Klima
body: Oh..., so you're going for a single site...   

Yes, it is likely because that's your URL and it must be unique, so company.atlassian.net is probably taken.

How to get pages with a specific attachment type
Asked by Tomer Blankitny:

Confluence search not working - reindex needed?
Asked by Bart Lamberigts:

The search function is not working properly anymore. Not all relevant articles are found. After googling a bit, I saw that I needed to contact support for rebuilding the index. However, as we are using the 'Confluence Free' version, we only have 'community support'. How can I make sure my search index is rebuilt?


Answers:
author: Nikola Perisic
body: Hello [@Bart Lamberigts](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1084583)

Part of this is true. Reindexing is only available for server/datacenter version.

More information about this could be found here: <https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/Search-not-working-can-t-reindex/qaq-p/2496282>

Now, you are using a confluence free version which Atlassian doesn't offer support. Workaround for this: Start a free trial standard plan then raise the support. After you are done with the support, you can cancel your standard subscription and go back to normal one.

Some people have faced this issue before: <https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/Search-does-not-work/qaq-p/1378703>

I've had the links disappear from two different confluence documents.

Answers:

body: [@Dennis Lewis](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5422482) Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Are you saying that the text of the link is removed or that the text is still there, but is no longer a link?

Simplest case: If you look at the history of the page (in View mode, select the ellipsis button at the top right of the page and select Page History) and compare recent versions, do you see that someone edited the page an removed the text or link?

If this is not the case, I can't think of what might be happening.

comments: author: Dennis Lewis
body: The links within the confluence document is gone. The epics and stories remain as issues in Jira. If I go back in different versions of the confluence document, there will be a point where the links are there. I'm the only one editing the document, so no one has purposely deleted the links.

How long does it take to import spaces?
Asked by Eric Pallares:

I am importing several spaces from an old Confluence (Cloud) organization to my new organization. I have successfully exported the spaces in CSV format, and I've run through the Import process.

However, I don't see the imported spaces, and If y try to import them again, I receive an error message, saying that there is already a space with that name.

I'm assuming it may take a while to reindex all spaces and make them available??


Answers:
author: Max Foerster - K15t
body: Hi [@Eric Pallares](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5422465), welcome to the community!

The likely cause for your situation is that the space has been imported with a permission configuration different from the one you are using in your cloud environment. That's why you have no access to the space and cannot see it. If you are a Confluence product administrator, you can [recover space permissions](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/assign-space-permissions/#Recover-space-permissions) to all spaces in the general configuration. That should fix the issue :)
