Profiles
Profiles consist of a set of basic parameters that allow users to access content from external sources in the macros. With profiles, you can:
- Allow user authentication required by some URLs to be hidden from page viewers and editors. Confluence administrators can access this information.
- Reuse a shared definition for URL access; thus, enable quick macro configurations.
- Provide base URLs to make fewer changes to page content if these URLs are relocated.
- Macro configured URL (not a full URL but a relative path) is appended to the profile provided URL to access the actual location of the files.
The page displays a list of profiles available for the macros. You can perform the following actions on this page:
- Click
to edit the profile details. - Click
