# Confluence
If you're new to Unstructured, read this note first.
Before you can create a source connector, you must first sign in to your Unstructured account:
* If you do not already have an Unstructured account, [sign up for free](https://unstructured.io/?modal=try-for-free). After you sign up, you are automatically signed in to your new Unstructured **Let's Go** account, at [https://platform.unstructured.io](https://platform.unstructured.io).
To sign up for a **Business** account instead, [contact Unstructured Sales](https://unstructured.io/?modal=contact-sales), or [learn more](/ui/overview#how-am-i-billed%3F).
* If you already have an Unstructured **Let's Go**, **Pay-As-You-Go**, or **Business SaaS** account and are not already signed in, sign in to your account at
[https://platform.unstructured.io](https://platform.unstructured.io). For other types of **Business** accounts, see your Unstructured account administrator for sign-in instructions,
or email Unstructured Support at [support@unstructured.io](mailto:support@unstructured.io).
After you sign in, the [Unstructured user interface](/ui/overview) (UI) appears, which you use to create your source connector.
After you create the source connector, add it along with a
[destination connector](/ui/destinations/overview) to a [workflow](/ui/workflows). Then run the worklow as a
[job](/ui/jobs). To learn how, try out the [hands-on UI quickstart](/ui/quickstart#remote-quickstart) or watch the 4-minute
[video tutorial](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wn2FfHT6H-o).
You can also create source connectors with the Unstructured API.
[Learn how](/api-reference/workflow/sources/overview).
If you need help, email Unstructured Support at [support@unstructured.io](mailto:support@unstructured.io).
You are now ready to start creating a source connector! Keep reading to learn how.
Ingest your files into Unstructured from Confluence.
The requirements are as follows.
* A [Confluence Cloud account](https://www.atlassian.com/software/confluence/pricing) or
[Confluence Data Center installation](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/installing-confluence-data-center-203603.html).
* The site URL for your [Confluence Cloud account](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/confluence-cloud-url/qaq-p/1157148) or
[Confluence Data Center installation](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/how-to-find-your-site-url-to-set-up-the-confluence-data-center-and-server-mobile-app-938025792.html).
* A user in your [Confluence Cloud account](https://confluence.atlassian.com/cloud/invite-edit-and-remove-users-744721624.html) or
[Confluence Data Center installation](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/add-and-invite-users-138313.html).
* The user must have the correct permissions in your
[Conflunce Cloud account](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/what-are-confluence-cloud-permissions-and-restrictions/) or
[Confluence Data Center installation](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/permissions-and-restrictions-139557.html) to
access the target spaces and pages.
* One of the following:
* For Confluence Cloud or Confluence Data Center, the target user's name or email address, and password.
[Change a Confluence Cloud user's password](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/change-your-confluence-password/).
[Change a Confluence Data Center user's password](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/change-your-password-139416.html).
* For Confluence Cloud only, the target user's name or email address, and API token.
[Create an API token](https://support.atlassian.com/atlassian-account/docs/manage-api-tokens-for-your-atlassian-account/).
* For Confluence Data Center only, the target user's personal access token (PAT).
[Create a PAT](https://confluence.atlassian.com/enterprise/using-personal-access-tokens-1026032365.html).
* Optionally, the keys (not display names) of the specific [spaces](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/navigate-spaces/) in the Confluence instance to access. To get a space's key,
which is different from a space's display name, open the space in your web browser and look at the URL. The space's key is the part of the URL after `spaces/` but before the next `/` after that.
The following video provides related setup information for Confluence Cloud:
## Document permissions metadata
The source connector outputs any permissions information that it can find in the source location about the processed source documents and associates that information with each
corresponding element that is generated. This permissions information is output into the `permissions_data` field, which is within the
`data_source` field under the element's `metadata` field. This information lists the users or groups, if any, that have
permissions to read, update, or delete the element's associated source document.
The following example shows what the output looks like. Ellipses indicate content that has been omitted from this example for brevity.
```json theme={null}

To look up information about a particular Confluence user, use the user's ID (also known as their *account ID*) from the preceding output to call the
[GET /wiki/rest/api/user](https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/rest/v1/api-group-users/#api-wiki-rest-api-user-get)
operation in the Confluence REST API.
To look up information about a particular Confluence group, use the group's ID from the preceding output to call the
[GET /wiki/rest/api/group/by-id](https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/rest/v1/api-group-group/#api-wiki-rest-api-group-by-id-get)
operation in the Confluence REST API.
