Organized Screen for Configuration
Admins, we've been listening to your feedback and version 4.0 has some exciting additions for you, namely:
- You no longer need to hunt and peck in order to find our configuration page. We've added Cache for Confluence as an item within the side navigation.We have a clean A new option Bob Swift configuration > Macro Security is now available right within the General Configuration sidebar for configuring Macro Security.
- The 'Macro Security for Confluence - Configuration' page offers a clean, new tabbed interface to separate the securing of macros from global configuration.
Elimination of the Properties
FilesFile
We heard from some of you that editing a properties file in order to make a simple change was too restrictive and made simple changes a chore. We agreed and So, we decided to remove this from the editor experience altogether. Now we have the following:
- A single configuration screen allowing you to both list and restrict macros, as well as change the global configuration.
- If Automatic conversion of your configuration file, if you are upgrading and have from a previous version with a properties file in place, we automatically add your entries .
Wunderpick
We heard from customers that it was challenging to remember the exact names of supported macros without revisiting our documentation. They also mentioned that it was tough to remember groupgroups, userusers, and especially Confluence space keys. Our administrators struggle with this as well, so we decided to build the picklist of all picklists referred , which we refer to internally as "Wunderpick":
- Enter In the Macro field, begin typing the first few characters of a the macro name while we filter and autocomplete or sort through the listings.
- We are listing the managed macro names and their controlled parameters.
- Type the beginning of a group, individual user, or name of a Confluence space and we will help filter and autocompleteand we'll suggest the name of managed macros as well their parameters that can be controlled via Macro Security.
- In the Macro Restrictions field, begin typing the first few characters of a user name, group name, or space name we we'll suggest ones that match.
Secured Individual Macros
For several releases, we've provided the ability to enable/disable macro security at a global level and while this all-or-nothing approach was helpful, it wasn't fine-grained:. We now allow you to
enable:
- Enable or disable individual macros.Simply toggle
- Toggle on or off states and confirm your changes.the protection for an individual entry (after confirmation, of course)
Migrate
Migration of Configuration Changes
We heard from several customers that it was difficult to safely migrate macro security changes from either their test or staging environments into production or between production systemsbetween different systems to ensure they are configured identically. We agreed and in this releasesrelease:
- With two clicks, you can now import or export your entire configuration changes.
- All changes can now be safely moved and applied across systemscopied to another system.
