How can I display specific content on a page for only some users/groups?

How can I display specific content on a page for only some users/groups to see, but not all? Ideally, I'd like to show some information about a topic on any given page to all users/groups, but make more information available to specific users/groups.

I got another plugin for you: multiexcerpt (https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/biz.artemissoftware.confluence.multiexcerpt.MultiExcerptMacro/cloud/overview)

It is working similar as the excerpt macro, except you can put more than one excerpt on a page and the excerpt include macro is not showing the error message, if the user is not allowed to view the included excerpt. It simply shows nothing. I think, that's what you are looking for. But it is not for free.

Page A = page visible for everybody

Page B = page visible only for some users

On page B: Use the excerpt macro around your text. Set your restrictions on this page.

On page A: Use the include excerpt macro

Thomas Schlegel

With that, user who are not allowed to see the excerpt get an error message: Error rendering macro 'excerpt-include' : User 'xxx' does not have permission to view the page 'xxx'.

If you were on a self-hosted instance you could use the visibility plugin. But it is not available for Confluence Cloud.

Thanks for the quick response! Any way to make it so that Page A does not show the message below when a user is not authorized to view it?:

Error rendering macro 'excerpt-include' : User 'XXXXX' does not have permission to view the page 'Full Article'.

not on Cloud, as far as I know... sad

Hi @Thomas Schlegel thanks a lot for this answer! This is exactly what I'm looking for. Sadly, it is not working for us. As you can see in my screenshot, I got error messages like these? (I tried first the original Excerpt Macro, and then the three implementation of Multiexcerpt)
Did I miss something? Do you have any advice how to solve this problem?

Hi @Henry Auffahrt ,

I have just tried this again with Confluence 7.13 and Multiexcerpt 5.6.0 - it works as expected.

This is the page when a user has permission on the source space:

And this is the view if the user doesn't have the permission:

Maybe there's a difference between on premise and cloud?

Hi @Thomas Schlegel

I wrote the support from the plugin vendor. It is a difference between on premise and cloud. This feature is missing in the cloud instances... really annoying...
