How to find group usage in Confluence

Marcel Plomp (inactive)

How do I find where a specific group is used in Confluence? In other words: How do I find which permissions on spaces a specific group has?

In JIRA you can at least see if a group is used within a permission scheme.

Is this also possible in Confluence?

Hi Marcel,

there is a handy tool that gives you exactly what you are looking for: a central page where you can view the groups and their permissions in all spaces.

Hi Tibor,

Thanks for the link. It seems that for every feature that is missing in Confluence ( or Jira) an add-on is available. smile

I'll take a look at it but I expected an answer that leads to a "normal"' resolution just by using Confluence. If that is not available, maybe Atlassian can provide it in future releases.

Regards,

Marcel

Hi Marcel,

I understand your point of view, and you are right.

From another perspective though, the vital Marketplace is the power of Atlassian Ecosystem smile

Good luck and let me know you have questions on the above mentioned addon.

Regards,

Tibor

Don't get me wrong. I understand the value of the Atlassian Ecosystem but an add-on should provide additional functionality that is not a basic need for Confluence and which is very helpful for the business (like Tempo Timesheets for Jira).

Managing your groups in a proper way, including the possibility to see what rights these groups have, should be imbedded in the basic installation of Confluence as this is a basic need (IMHO).

Atlassian still has some work to do.

This is a good start, but does not list groups used in page restrictions

Edward Dumser_x43dt4

I made this to check for page restrictions:

SELECT
    `SPACENAME` as `Space`,
    `TITLE` as `Page`,
    `CP_TYPE` as `Permission`,
    `GROUPNAME` as `Group`
FROM `CONTENT_PERM` cp
INNER JOIN `CONTENT_PERM_SET` cps ON(cp.`CPS_ID` = cps.`ID`)
INNER JOIN `CONTENT` c ON(c.`CONTENTID` = cps.`CONTENT_ID`)
INNER JOIN `SPACES` s ON(c.`SPACEID` = s.`SPACEID`)
WHERE cp.`GROUPNAME` = '<group name>'
GROUP BY cps.`CONTENT_ID`, `SPACENAME`, `TITLE`, `CP_TYPE`, `GROUPNAME`;
