Profiles

Profiles consist of a set of common parameters that allow users to access data from external applications such as GitHub or GitLab through 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 to make the page content less likely to require changes when the 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. This name must be unique; else, the details specified overwrites the details of the existing profile. This may cause errors in pages where the profile is used.
Profile type	Specify whether this is a URL, GitLab, or GitHub profile type.
URL	Enter the URL of the application to be accessed. If the Profile type is either GitLab or GitHub, a default base URL is displayed here, that is editable.
User; Password	Enter the username and password to access the specified URL.
Access token	Applicable for GitLab and GitHub URLs. Administrators 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.
