Content by User Macro
The Content by User macro generates a tabulated list of the content items, throughout the Confluence installation, that have been created by a specified Confluence user. The list includes all current pages, comments and spaces created by the user. Each item in the table is linked to its corresponding page, page comment or space dashboard.
Note that items for page comments contain a link to the page, followed by a second link to the comment itself, with these separated by a greater-than sign (>).
