Currently, Confluence Cloud allows viewing and editing permissions via the page restrictions menu, but there is no way to embed or display these permissions directly within the page content. This makes it harder for collaborators to quickly see who can view or edit the page without leaving the content.
Proposed Enhancement:
Introduce a "Page Permissions" macro that can be inserted into any Confluence page. When rendered, the macro would:
- Display the current view and edit permissions for the page.
- Show whether the page is restricted, inherited from parent, or public.
- Optionally list specific users and groups with access.
- Update dynamically if permissions change.
Benefits:
- Improves transparency for team members.
- Reduces confusion about access rights.
- Saves time by avoiding extra clicks to check restrictions.
- Useful for compliance, onboarding, and documentation workflows.
Example Use Cases:
- Project documentation where access rules are critical.
- Knowledge base articles with tiered access.
- Compliance-controlled content requiring visible permission info.
