How to show or hide space categories based on user access to space

Seweryn Szatkowski_rrf6ph

Hi,

I'm looking for a way to hide/show categories based on user access to spaces.

I have found a way to hide categories for users who are not in certain group:

#if ($userAccessor.hasMembership('confluence-administrators',    $helper.action.remoteUser.name))
#else
<script type="text/javascript">
AJS.toInit(function(){
    AJS.$('#space-labels-list').hide();
    AJS.$('.aui-nav-heading').hide();
});
</script>
#end

Above solution was posted here: https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/Hide-categories-in-Confluence-page/qaq-p/1169745

But do you know how to hide/show categories based on user access to certain space?

Example:

Space name: A,
Category: nameA
Access: only to userA

Space name: B,
Category: nameB
Access: only to userB

And now if I'am userA I want to see only category nameA because I have an access to space A and if I'am userB I want to see only category nameB because I have an access to space B.

Is there a way to do that using Layouts and by modifying above script?

Regards

Hello @Seweryn Szatkowski !

As I understand, you need to hide or show labels within spaces based on user permissions inside Confluence.

If the above is correct, I am unaware on how to proceed with this.

However, if we are talking about actually hiding pages from users who are part of an specific group, we can use page restrictions for this purpose:

• [Confluence Server] Page Restrictions

 

You would need to include who can see the content in the restrictions. For example:

1. Create page-00
2. Put it under categoryA
3. Restrict access solely to categoryA members in restrictions
4. Create page-01
5. Put it under categoryB
6. Restrict access solely to categoryB members in restrictions

 

Now only members of categoryA can see the page under categoryA, no one else. The same goes for categoryB.

 

Let us hear from you!
