Summary

This shows how to set up a self service CLI page for trusted administrators. The page needs to have view permission restricted to only trusted users for the profiles listed. A similar page can be set up for general users if an additional password is a required input parameter to use on the CLI call.

Steps

  1. Configure the Run CLI Actions in Confluence with appropriate profiles.
  2. Copy the example page markup to a suitable location.
  3. Install Run Self-Service Reports for Confluence.
  4. Install Cache for Confluence, or remove section using the cache macro.
  5. Install the Linking add-on or remove section using the link-to macro.
  6. Edit the run macro markup to customize the profiles available in your installation.
  7. Edit the page restrictions to allow view only to trusted administrators.
