Global configuration

| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| Restrict URL access | The Restrict URL access parameter controls whether or not URLs 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. |
Allow JavaScript | This option controls JavaScript usage in the Markdown apps. Enabling this option allows you to execute JavaScript within the macros.
To enable these macros, refer to Macro Security Configuration.
|
Help Us Improve the Product | Enabling this option reports usage data that helps us improve the app continually. The app does not send any private user data or personally identifiable information. To learn more about what is being sent, refer to Analytics Data. |
Whitelist
Manage the URLs that the app can access from this page. The app is restricted to allow the specified URLs only.
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| Expression | Enter a URL or an expression here. |
| Type | Select a type from the following list:
|
You can perform the following actions on this page:
- Add the URL after specifying the Expression and Type.
- Update after modifying the details. Select the Expression to enable editing of the URL.
- Delete to remove the URL.
- Save after adding or modifying any URL in the list.
Profiles
Profiles consist of a common set of parameters that allow users to choose a profile in the macros. Some advantages of using profiles are:
- 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.
The page displays a list of profiles available for the macros. Click Add Profile to open a pop-up window as:
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| Profile name | Enter a name for the profile. |
| Profile type | Specify whether this is a URL, GitLab or GitHub profile. |
| URL | Enter the URL to be accessed. If the Profile type is either GitLab or GitHub, a default URL is displayed here that is editable. |
| User; Password | Enter the user name and password to access the specified URL. |
| Access token | Applicable for GitLab and GitHub URLs. Users must generate the access tokens from either the GitLab or GitHub applications and enter that here. |
| URL parameters | Mention any extra parameters that must be appended to the URL here. |
| Request headers | Displays the request headers created as per the given information. |
You can perform the following actions on this page:
- Click
to edit the profile details. - Click
to remove the profile. - Click Save profile to create the profile.
