Though helpful in preventing certain content from being seen by specific users, this macro is not a comprehensive security solution. The user may be able to view the content easily via other means, such as editing the page.
Be aware that content is only hidden in the Confluence page view , and that the content is still available when editing a page, viewing page history, email notifications, etc. In addition, other macros, such as Table of Contents (a standard Atlassian macro), can still retrieve the information inside the Show-if/Hide-if macro.
