Thank You - How about the space directory dropdown - any way to hide that from anonymous users?

Maybe this will help: https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CONFKB/How+to+Hide+Elements+in+Confluence+Using+CSS+or+JavaScript But I haven't done it by myself ...

I have tired this every way I could think of - the custom HTML and css in the stylesheet do not seem to hide this on my production doucmentaiton site. I even messed with the permissions to make it go away. It still remains visible. However, on my test machine ( my Windows laptop) it does not display. I cannot seem to figure out why I cannot hide it on my production documentation space. Any thoughts besides the plugin suggestion below? Thank you.

If your refer to the https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Create+from+Template+Macro you place in your pages,  you may wrap the button macro inside a "hide macro", which decides to show or not show its body.

There are a couple of add-ons you may choose from to get this functionality:

• https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/net.customware.confluence.plugin.visibility (haven't used it by myself)
• https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/de.smartics.atlassian.confluence.smartics-atlassian-confluence-macros (I'm one of the authors here, https://www.smartics.eu/confluence/display/CONFMAC/Hide+From+Anonymous+User+Macro)
