FAQ Management in Confluence Databases

p.borloz

We would like to do our FAQ management in ONE Confluence Database. First attempts went great, but now we are stumbling over some difficulties.

Problem: We would need an permission setting per database entry, as not every user or user group should have the same level of visibility in the database. As we want to use the FAQ database for every audience, we also need to be able to differentiate between users / user groups / guests and anonymous access.

Only some thinking-out-loud:

- the permission is meant for the page the entry refers to, I suppose

- in your dbase add a column 'permissions' > page label (this actively adds or deletes labels to the page!)

- set up automation rules that define that "adding label x" (trigger) changes permissions of the page to y 

You need Premium for this. I could only test the rule in a Premium instance without Databases. 

Databases is the best label manager so far!

The only thing I could not set up this way: "the page" in the rule: must be: the page in this entry > that will not be part of the automation vocabulary I guess. That is something for the Databases Product Manager!
