At the time of this release, Confluence has no way for admins (or anyone else) to use permissions to disable turn off the viewing of comments for anonymous users on pages that the anonymous users they are allowed to view.
Now your site admin has the power to hide inline comments from anonymous users using the MultiExcerpt Admin tool:
...
Allows your site admin to enable/disable the viewing of inline comments in MultiExcerpt Includes, where the comments have been made in the body of a MultiExcerpt on some other page that contains the MultiExcerpt that is included by the MultiExcerpt Includeincludes.
That’s a long way to say, “You can now view inline comments on included content!”
This feature works on both the MultiExcerpt Include macro and on Confluence’s “out of the box” Excerpt Include macro.
...
Allows your site admin to specify custom colors for inline comments that are rendered in an include. They can specify both a color for an inline comment when it is not selected and when it is selected (via the user, using their mouse).
This feature works on both the MultiExcerpt Include macro and on Confluence’s “out of the box” Excerpt Include macro.
