Confluence Integration Security
Confluence Cloud Authentication
TeamRetro utilizes OAuth2 authorization to integrate with Confluence Cloud instances. We request the following four access scopes:
| Scope | Required for: |
| read:confluence-space.summary | Read list of Confluence spaces during configuration of the integration. |
| write:confluence-content | Create new pages for retrospective and health check reports |
| write:confluence-file | Add PDF attachment to retrospective and health check pages |
| read:confluence-content.summary | Allow TeamRetro to check if a parent page ("Retrospective" or "Health Check") exists. |
| offline_access | Allow TeamRetro to post meeting reports to Confluence without requiring re-authentication each time. |
Further information on these access scopes can be found at
https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/scopes/
Confluence Server Authentication
For Confluence Server it's via a Confluence username / password. As we need to send these across with the API they are stored encrypted but not hashed - so we do strongly recommend creating a separate Confluence user for TeamRetro. We are evaluating support for Oauth1 integration in future.
Request Origination
Calls to Confluence Server / Confluence Cloud will originate from our servers in AWS and are proxied via the fixed Elastic IP addresses. Legacy accounts remain proxied via QuotaGuard.

APIs Used
In order to push retrospective and health check summary reports through to Confluence, we retrieve a list of confluence spaces to allow the administrator to select the target parent page in Confluence. Before creating a page for the retrospective or health check, TeamRetro will check to see if a suitable parent page (eg. "Retrospectives") already exists, and if not will create one.
We make use of the following APIs:
- /oauth/token/accessible-resources (GET)
get a list of Atlassian Cloud instances the user has access to (Confluence Cloud only) - /rest/api/space (GET)
get a list of spaces in the selected Confluence instance - /rest/api/content (GET)
check to see if "Retrospective"/"Health Check" parent page already exists - /rest/api/content (POST/PUT)
create parent page / retrospective / health check page - /rest/api/content/XXXXXXX/child/attachment (POST)
upload PDF summary attachment
We do not read any other content.
