GDPR on 'All Updates' pages

[Jorge Jerez]

Hi Comm

In the last weeks GDPR auditories get intensified in some countries of EU and we've detected Confluence have some problems with that. 

Actually is possible to hide usernames (author, editors) on pages, like is related on oficial documentation: https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/how-to-hide-content-s-author-created-by-for-certain-users-or-groups-in-confluence-1047559739.html

But on 'All Updates' page, this is not possible, our team as been trying to hide names and pictures using AJS, similiar to this workaround made to hide all the page to anonimous users: https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/how-do-i-hide-all-updates-from-confluence-dashboard-for-anonymous-users-1044114296.html 
But didn't worked. 

So the question here is if someone had this same problem and hot it get solved, as our customers don't want to hide the full page but actually is the only solution provided by atlassian.

Just some bad news... Actually there's no option on Confluence to do that, so there are some workarounds. 

First of all, Atlassian opened a Suggestion to this: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-65495, remember to vote, is the only way we have to pressure Atlassian. 

About a workaround, is possible to hide some information using custom HTML: 

<script type="text/javascript">
    AJS.toInit(function(){
        if (AJS.params.remoteUser == ''){
            AJS.$('section.aui-page-panel-content.content-body').hide(); 
            AJS.$(document.querySelector("#main-content > div > div.columnLayout.two-equal")).hide(); }

        });
</script>

The problem with this, is you have to find first the selector for the information you Wang to hide when users are not logged, and is not the same for all versions of Confluence. 

Just hope Atlassian changes it soon or customers will start to look in other options as GDPR gets harder every year.
