ParameterDescription
Restrict URL accessWith version 3.3.0, a new configuration parameter, The Restrict URL access is available. This parameter  parameter controls whether or not the URL parameter on the markdown-url macro must conform to the Confluence Whitelist, provided whitelisting is enabled. Confluence allows administrators to turn on whitelisting to restrict access to URLs configured in the Whitelist settings.

This option controls JavaScript usage in the Markdown apps. Enabling this option allows you to execute JavaScript within the macros. Since version 3.4.

ParameterDescription
Profiles

Profiles are configured by the administrators and consist of a common set of parameters that allow users to choose a profile in markdown-url macro. Here are some advantages of using profiles:

  • Profiles allow user authentication required by some URLs to be hidden from page viewers and editors. Only Confluence administrators have access to this information.
  • Enables macro editors to quickly configure the macro by reusing a shared definition for URL access. 
  • Relative addressing can be used making the page content less likely to require changes when base URLs are relocated. 
    • Macro configured URL (that is not a full URL) is appended to the profile provided URL.
