Enabling HTML Macro

Question

Hello, community. Do I understand it right, that if I want to embed some JavaScript in a confluence page, I have to ask our confluence administrator to activate usage of HTML Macros? And if it is activated, any user of our confluence would be able to place own javascripts on any confluence page?

Is there no possibility to restrict usage of JavaScript or HTML Macros to a restricted set of confluence users?

Kind regards

Enabling the HTML macro isn't a big deal.  This would be the way to include javascript on pages.  Yes any user can use javascript on pages, but if your confluence site isn't public then what is main concern here?  99% of users are not going to do any HTML or javascript at all.

I don't think you can restrict the usage of a macro with permissions.  I honestly don't think there is a need for that anyway.  There are worse things that someone can do in confluence with the right permission than including a little javascript.
