How can I allow users from external sites to my Confluence? Do they count for my licence?

[Johanna]

Hey there,

we want to allow some freelancers to join one of our Confluence (Cloud) spaces. They already have Confluence (Cloud) accounts for a different company. Is it somehow possible to make the space avialable (and editable) to them with the same account/mailadress? And do they count for our company licence then?

Or is there a way to let them have access and not let them take on of our licences since we already reached a tier and optimally would not want to upgrade for people who don't need access all year round. (Make that space visible for "the whole world" aka anonymous users is not really an option cause of the content)

Hoping for helpful answers, cause Google could not give me any :-)

Hi Steffen,

with Confluence 5.9, exporting to Word is running fine with images from included pages. 

Maybe you should consider updating to a newer version.

I just came across this as I'm having the same problem. I'm using the server version 5.8.13 and when I export to Word or PDF I get what you see below. It simply displays the macro rather than the content.

Any ideas how to fix this?

Thanks, Sandy
