Make restrictions visible on page

Matthias Droste1

We have restrictions based on groups in our confluence-setup.

In order to avoid accidentally adding content that should only be visible for Group A to a page that's also visible for Group B, I'd like to have the groups that have access to the page visible directly on the page.

Is there a way to do this?

Currently we use the workaround to add tags like <Group A> <Group B> to the page. However, the more content is added, the more difficult it becomes to keep the tags in sync with the actual restrictions...

Here is a user macro that you can use to show the page permissions.
