Configuring an Atlassian Confluence plugin for Amazon Q Business

Atlassian Confluence is a collaborative work-management tool designed for sharing, storing, and working on project planning, software development, and product management. If you’re a Atlassian Confluence user, you can create an Amazon Q Business plugin to allow your end users to search pages from within their web experience chat.

To create a Atlassian Confluence plugin, you need configuration information from your Atlassian Confluence instance to set up a connection between Amazon Q and Atlassian Confluence and allow Amazon Q to perform actions in Atlassian Confluence.

For more information on how to use plugins during your web experience chat, see Using plugins.

Prerequisites

Before you configure your Amazon Q Atlassian Confluence plugin, you must do the following:

  • As an admin, create a new OAuth 2.0 Atlassian Confluence app in the Atlassian Confluence developer console with scoped permissions for performing actions in Amazon Q. To learn how to do this, see OAuth 2.0 (3LO) apps in Atlassian Confluence Developer Documentation. Make sure sharing is enabled. Required scopes: search:confluence.

  • Note the domain URL of your Atlassian Confluence instance. For example: https://api.atlassian.com/ex/confluence/yourInstanceId. To learn how to find your instance ID (Cloud Site ID), go to How to find Cloud Site Id.

  • Note your:

    • Access token URL – For Atlassian Confluence OAuth applications, this is https://auth.atlassian.com/oauth/token.

    • Authorization URL – For Atlassian Confluence OAuth applications, this is https://auth.atlassian.com/authorize.

    • Redirect URL – The URL to which user needs to be redirected after authentication. If your deployed web url is <q-endpoint>, use <q-endpoint>/oauth/callback . Amazon Q Business will handle OAuth tokens in this URL. This callback URL needs to be allowlisted in your third-party application.

    • Client ID – The client ID generated when you create your OAuth 2.0 application in Atlassian Confluence.

    • Client secret – The client secret generated when you create your OAuth 2.0 application in Atlassian Confluence.

    You will need this authentication information during the plugin configuration process.

Service access roles

To successfully connect Amazon Q to Atlassian Confluence, you need to give Amazon Q the following permission to access your Secrets Manager secret to get your Atlassian Confluence credentials. Amazon Q assumes this role to access your Atlassian Confluence credentials.

The following is the service access IAM role required:

{
    "Version": "2012-10-17",
    "Statement": [{
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": [
                "secretsmanager:GetSecretValue"
            ],
            "Resource": [
                "arn:aws:secretsmanager:{{your-region}}:{{your-account-id}}:secret:[[secret-id]]"
            ]
        }
    ]
}

To allow Amazon Q to assume a role, use the following trust policy:

{
  "Version": "2012-10-17",
  "Statement": [
    {
      "Sid": "QBusinessApplicationTrustPolicy",
      "Effect": "Allow",
      "Principal": {
        "Service": "qbusiness.amazonaws.com"
      },
      "Action": "sts:AssumeRole",
      "Condition": {
        "StringEquals": {
          "aws:SourceAccount": "{{source_account}}"
        },
        "ArnLike": {
          "aws:SourceArn":"arn:aws:qbusiness:{{your-region}}:{{source_account}}:application/{{application_id}}"
        }
      }
    }
  ]
}

If you use the console and choose to create a new IAM role, Amazon Q creates the role for you. If you use the console and choose to use an existing secret, or you use the API, make sure your IAM role contains these permissions.

Creating a plugin
