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 link to the comment itself, with these separated by a greater-than sign (>).

Parameters

Parameters are options that you can include in Confluence macros to control the content or format of the macro output. The table below lists relevant parameters for this macro.

Parameter names are different in the Macro Browser and in wiki markup. Below we show the Macro Browser parameter names in bold text, and the equivalent wiki markup parameters in (bracketed) text.
