Restrict who can view comments

[Bob Heckmann]

I'm a Confluence Cloud user. Wondering if it's possible to restrict view privileges on comments. In other words, can I put comments on pages that are essentially my personal notes for that page and restrict other visitors from seeing them?

Thanks,

Bob

I should clarify that the Project Documentation Macros by smartics contains a macro that hides text in a page from those with only view rights, and has nothing to do with the comments.

If this functionality is workable, I would contact smartics about the feasibility of a cloud version.

It would also seem that someone smarter than me should be able to come up with a user macro that does the same thing; a jscript that evaluates a user's permissions and displays the enclosed text or not.

Additional question Milo. What is the process to "hide" a comment? I don't see how to do it in the UI.

Thanks again,

Bob

Thanks for the response Milo. Unfortunately, that won't work for my use case. I need to restrict comments view to the creating user only. Any idea if the macro that works for server will be made available for cloud?

There is a free macro for server that does this. For cloud, you could "hide" the comment so that it can only be seen in edit mode, that is, by someone with write permissions.
