Understanding question about Global Permission "Browse Users and groups"

[Jamey Hawkins]

I am attempting to add an individual user to my Global Permissions page, however the browse user textbox does not appear on the edit page.

I am the system admin/creator of this instance.

Any suggestions?

OK - this is where I've got to:

• I tried out Adaptavist's Survey plugin and it seems it would do the job. But each page in the knowledgebase would have to have it's own survey associated with it, ie: lots of surveys.
• Then I stumbled accross the JIRA Issue Collector (the reason why I didn't know much about it is that it's not possible to to use it with Confluence OnDemand which is what I normally use.) For those of you who haven't used it, it allows you to have a button in JIRA or on a Confluence page that allows you to create a JIRA issue to collect information, in this case, getting feedback from the user.

Dear Atlassian

It would be very much appreciated if you could have someway to have an Issue Collector appear on a Confuence page in Confluence OnDemand. I know that it's due to some security issues, but given they are both your products, it would be good if you had some way to achieve this.

Thanks

We had a similar problem with our documentation hosted in Confluence. We don't let our customers modify our docs. Instead, when someone reports an issue where the information they are looking for is missing or incorrect, we just add it as a comment. Our tech writer is a watcher on all pages, so he sees the comments and makes the appropriate fixes. Note that in our system, comments aren't visible to non-company users. We originally thought about adding a label like 'needs-fix' to make it easier to search for pages, but the watch feature turned out to be sufficient.
