Issue Summary

In header section, the ARIA role attribute is not provided to the "help" menu link element.

Similar issue was observed for following menu link elements.

• Profile  link .
• Administrator link.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Turn on a screen reader.
2. Navigate to Confluence homepage.
3. Navigate to "Help" menu link inside header section.
4. Observe that help element is announced as link incorrectly.

Expected Results

While navigating with screen reader, when user navigate to the "help" element the screen reader announces as "help link". But the element functions as a menu button. The ARAI role="button" attribute is not provided to the anchor element.

This makes screen reader users difficult to understand the purpose of the element.

Actual Results

The screen reader should announce the "Help" element as button. Use native HTML <button> element or provide ARIA role="button" to the anchor element in the source code.
