Wiki and the Cloud… Crossing the finish line.
We’re almost an entire week in the cloud! Thanks to everybody who assisted us in all the testing and advice. The next step is two-fold– we’ll convert the wiki.vcu.edu space to a read-only environment to encourage everybody to pay more attention to their new Cloud Space… and then we’ll sunset the service entirely by issuing a redirect to our new Confluence Cloud environment.
Friday, March 14th, 10am EST. https://wiki.vcu.edu enters into a read only mode. You’ll be able to login and navigate around, but editing the wiki will be challenging.
Summer 2025. https://wiki.vcu.edu will redirect to the cloud URL, https://wiki-vcu.atlassian.net/wiki/.

FAQ
Updated 3/27/2025
I’m successfully logging into Cloud Confluence, but my previous permissions to Spaces do not appear to be active.
The most frequent issue encountered involves login difficulties, often stemming from pre-existing ‘local’ Atlassian accounts (e.g., via Trello). Resolving this typically requires logging in using the ‘Microsoft’ button, which effectively merges the local account with your Microsoft Entra ID credentials.
How do I locate my Space over in the Confluence Cloud?
When you visit your space on https://wiki.vcu.edu, there should be a banner at the very top of the page that will help you find your Space over in Confluence Cloud. The typical migration path looks like this: https://wiki.vcu.edu/display/SPACE/Home –> https://wiki-vcu.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/SPACE/.
My https://wiki.vcu.edu space did not migrate!
No worries– put in a ticket at https://go.vcu.edu/ramscentral and we’ll get it pushed over.
Will the transition to Entra ID prevent hospital employees without university affiliations from accessing the wiki?
Hospital employees without university affiliations will not have access and will require special accommodations to access Confluence Cloud. Existing hospital employee Wiki users will retain their access. To explore those special accommodations, please put in a ticket at https://go.vcu.edu/ramscentral
How do I create an account on the new Cloud Confluence?
Login by clicking the “Microsoft” button at this url: https://wiki-vcu.atlassian.net/wiki/login.action?
