Like others I was really happy to see the top menu get installed in the Cloud release of Confluence. However it has issues that were not resolved.
When a user is presented with the Confluence window while NOT logged into the software, the menu exposes to anonymous users, information a developer does not want them to have.
1) Here is a list of the menu items that should not be on the menu when logged out:
Page Name (Document Portfolio)
Home
Apps
Templates
Create
These also gives the anonymous user a false sense that they have access to the application when they really do not.
2) "Spaces" should be the only option on the menu so an anonymous user can select a space that is available for anonymous view.
Problem: Leaving the above menu items visible gives an anonymous user or even a competitor for that matter, access to sensitive information. Home, for example provides competitors an insight to what I am working on. Even to the point that they can learn about competitive software applications not yet released as documentation is developed.
3) Left Side Bar should not have the menu items Pages or Archived Pages. Again, they give away development information and distract the focus on content.
4) The Meatballs Menu on right side of page in a logged out state should only contain Export Options for Word and PDF. I would also recommend adding RTF to this list as well, if available. The remaining options must be turned off as they provide development/project information we do not want an anonymous user visiting the site to see.
In all honesty what your development team needs to understand that your application is being used in the real world to deliver content to a specific group of users. Should a specific user need real access to development information then they get a login.
We want our user communities to focus on the content the site provides. Not the development information that is currently exposed. It really is none of their business.
When can these modifications be completed?
