Answer

You can use a combination of the Visibility Plugin with the Style macro to show the button only to space administrators.

  • to hide the Edit button

  • to hide Edit Contents button

Since we introduced the in-page editor, the ID of Edit Contents button has been changed from editScaffoldLink to edit-scaffold-link.

You may also enable the HTML Macro, however, be aware that Enabling these macros can make your Confluence site vulnerable to cross-site scripting attacks.
