In versions of Comala Document Management prior to v6.17.7 the following error message may be displayed on attempting a migration to cloud.

"Comala Document Management does not appear to have permission to make changes to this page. Please check that the "Comala Document Management for Confluence Cloud" App user has permission to edit pages in the current space, or permission to edit within the page if page restrictions are applied"

This is due to a known bug Jan 30, 2022, where the last state of any page with restrictions is not correctly migrated by the Atlassian Migration Assistant.

With the release of Comala Document Management v6.17.7+. The Atlassian Migration Assistant pre-check Vendor App check screen now lists affected pages. These are detailed in a downloadable CSV file.

Solution

A workaround is to remove the restrictions from the server instance before migrating.

Prior to any migration activity, we recommend updating to the latest release of Comala Document Management and the latest version of the Atlassian Migration Assistant.
