Confluence is a team workspace and wiki platform by Atlassian for creating, organizing, and collaborating on documentation and knowledge bases. The Confluence integration with Frontegg allows your application to access and manage Confluence spaces, pages, and user data on behalf of your users.

Prerequisites

An Atlassian account with access to the Atlassian Developer Console
Permission to create OAuth 2.0 apps in the Atlassian Developer Console

Connect Confluence

Step 1: Open the Atlassian Developer Console

Go to developer.atlassian.com/console/myapps and sign in with your Atlassian account.

Step 8: Configure Confluence API scopes

After adding the Confluence API, click Configure next to it. On the scopes page, switch to the Granular scopes tab and click Edit Scopes.

Use Granular scopes, not Classic scopes

Frontegg's Confluence integration uses the Confluence v2 REST API, which only accepts granular scopes. Classic scopes (such as read:confluence-content.all) will not work with the v2 API. Make sure you are on the Granular scopes tab before selecting permissions.

In the dialog, select the following scopes:

Scope	Description
`read:page:confluence`	View pages
`write:page:confluence`	Create and update pages
`delete:page:confluence`	Delete pages
`read:hierarchical-content:confluence`	View page descendants and other hierarchical content
`read:space:confluence`	View spaces
`read:space-details:confluence`	View space details
`write:space:confluence`	Create and update spaces
`read:user:confluence`	View user details
`read:group:confluence`	View groups and their members
`read:label:confluence`	View labels associated with content or spaces
`write:label:confluence`	Add and remove labels
`read:configuration:confluence`	View Confluence settings
`read:content-details:confluence`	View content details (required for v1 user endpoints)

Click Save.

Edit Confluence API dialog with the 13 granular scopes selected

After saving, the scopes overview shows Scopes Used: 13 with all 13 granular scopes listed.

Enter the Client ID and Secret in the corresponding fields.
Click Save.

Keep your credentials secure

Never share or commit your Secret to version control.
