Configure the administrator contact page
The administrator contact page is a form that allows a users to send a message to the administrators of Confluence Cloud. (In this context, administrators are the members of the default administrators group.)

The title of the administrator contact page is Contact Site Administrators. Typically, Confluence Cloud users get to this page by clicking a link on an error screen such as the 500 error page.
