XMLWordPrintable

      NOTE: This bug report is for Confluence Server. Using Confluence Cloud? See the corresponding bug report.

      Deleting a previous revision of a blog post requires permission as a 'Space Administrator', even with the permission, deletion is not permitted.

      Reproduction:

      • Create a new blog post
      • Make a revision of the post

      Expected Behaviour:

      • Access 'Tools' > 'Space History'
      • Check previous revision
      • Select 'Delete'
      • Previous revision is added to trash and can either be purged or restored by space administrator

      Current Behaviour:

      • Access 'Tools' > 'Space History'
      • Check previous revision
      • Select 'Delete'
      • Receive message "Not Permitted, You are not permitted to perform this operation"

      Users are unable to delete blog histories and hit into Not Permitted, You are not permitted to perform this operation.

      Workaround:
      (Available for Confluence Server)

            Hi All,

            I have created a workaround which is to delete the previous version of blog post from the database side. This workaround has been tested on Confluence version 5.4.4 (server version)

            Is it considered minor because Atlassian find NO solution?

            this cannot be considered minor, as it presents potential security implications

            Issue is observed in 5.6.5 as well. Will try CLI plugin to see whether it will allow me to delete older version of a blog post.
