Track Ownership of a page

Question

Dear Community,

we are using Confluence 7.19.17 and are currently setting up a knowledge base.

A desired feature would be to track who is responsible for what page (which is fairly easy to manage, by just using the function to @ mention) but in return we would also want a feature that allows to display which pages are under a persons responsibility.

Ideally on the startup page, we would have a dropdown of everyone in the team and pick a person and then see a list of pages in which they they are listed as the responsible person. Thats just a suggestion though, just picking or sorting for a person and then seeing all the pages under this persons responsibility is fine.

So far we have tried to use the page properties macro and then generating a page property report. This way technically works, the necessity to tag pages with a certain word and apply that tag whenever you create a new page is very cumbersome and therefore not practical for everyday use with 100+ people.

Would anyone have suggestions on how to implement this?

I have tried this: Transfer ownership of your page to another person | Confluence Cloud | Atlassian Support

Unfortunately this does not work, as we don't use this version of confluence.

Thank you for any recommendations on how to approach this. :)

The app called Better Content Archiving has a dedicated feature to manage page owners, among lots of other features targeting the controlled maintenance of Confluence pages.

You can select zero, one or more owners for any page and even for an arbitrary tree of pages:

You can then automatically notify the owners when their content becomes outdated or even start a discussion with them about the state of their content.

(Discl. this is a paid and supported app developed by our team.)

Hi @Lukas Tartler welcome to the community.  One possibility is you could write a custom macro that takes the username as an input parameter then execute a CQL against that building a table of links to those pages.
