Dont view option Custom Html in menu look and feel

Rodrigo Peixoto

I need to hide a option "Space Settings" for all users and I do not think the html customization option for power is the code below.

 

<span><</span>script<span>></span>
  AJS<span>.</span><span>toInit</span><span>(</span><span>function</span><span>(</span><span>)</span><span>{</span>
    <span>if</span> <span>(</span>AJS<span>.</span>params<span>.</span>remoteUser <span>==</span> <span>''</span><span>)</span><span>{</span>
      AJS<span>.</span><span>$</span><span>(</span><span>"#space-tools-menu-trigger"</span><span>)</span><span>.</span><span>hide</span><span>(</span><span>)</span><span>;</span>
    <span>}</span>
  <span>}</span><span>)</span><span>;</span>
<span><</span><span>/</span>script<span>></span>

Hello there! I can see that we need to limit the access of users to the Space Tools. Is that correct?

Hey Rodrigo, if we are talking about Confluence Server we can apply this under Custom HTML section in Confluence General Configuration.

Some words before we apply this:

1. This change will apply to all of your spaces
2. Only administrators can change this setting
3. The space tools will be out of reach

So, let us keep moving!

1. Click the Cog Icon
2. Select General Configuration
3. Search for Custom HTML in the left hand sidebar
4. Click to edit
5. In the At beginning of the BODY section, insert the following:

   1. <style type="text/css">
      #space-tools-menu-trigger {
      display:none !important;
      }
      </style>

6. Click to save

Now, if we do not want to apply this to the whole instance, we can try and modify the Space Layout.

Notes:

• Save the URL for Space Tools on this Space for the button will not be available if we need to revert
• This will apply only to the current space

1. Click Space Tools
2. Select Look and Feel
3. Click the Layout tab
4. Under site layouts, click to create custom on the Main Layout
5. Search for the section that reads ##HTML BODY BEGINS
6. Right after that, insert the following
   

   1. <style type="text/css">
      #space-tools-menu-trigger {
      display:none !important;
      }
      </style>

       7. Click to Save

       8. The space tools should now be hidden

Now for some explanation. The #space-tools-menu-trigger string is actually the ID behind the button. Telling it to display:none will effectively hide it from users.

You can still reach the the space tools, even though the button is hidden. You can follow this path:  Cog Icon > General Configuration > Space Permissions > Manage Permissions. Admittedly this is not ideal, but keep in mind that we are customizing something in Confluence.

 

In Confluence Cloud, however, this is not achievable with this method. We can try and apply this limitation on a page by page basis with third-party addons such as:

HTML Macro for Confluence Cloud

In both platforms (Cloud and Server) setting Permissions correctly should keep users from performing admin only operations within the Space Tools. You can check a little more about permissions here:

Let us know if this helps you out Rodrigo. Looking out for your reply!
