confluence 5 - hide 'space tools' from anonymous user -how

[francis]

What's the best way to hide the space tools for anonymous users ?

You can do it with client side Javascript, if that's good enough.

In Confluence Admin | Look & Feel | Custom HTML add in At the end of the HEAD:

<script>
  AJS.toInit(function () {
    if (AJS.params.remoteUser == '') {
      AJS.$('a[href*="spacetools.action"]').parent().hide();
    }
  });
</script>

Hello,

I tried this in Confluence 5.4.2. But the Space Tools menu still displays for Anonymous users. Is there an adjustment I can do to the script to make it work?

Hi @R Donato,

You should ask new questions and reference old ones with links in the future!

To do this via clientside javascript, I modifed David's slightly and this worked for me on Confluence 5.4.4

<script>
  AJS.toInit(function(){
    if (AJS.params.remoteUser == ''){
      AJS.$("#space-tools-menu-trigger").hide();
    }
  });
</script>

This didn't work in 5.4.2. The Tools menu and all its options still display.

Did anyone know how to remove the space tool for the cloud (on-demand) version?

[Coline Macorol]

What about removing the space tools for another group of users, like a new group created on the admin configuration side?

I made this work by using single quote ' rather than double quote "

<script type="text/javascript">
AJS.toInit(function(){
if (AJS.params.remoteUser == ''){
AJS.$('#action-menu-link').hide();
AJS.$('#comments-section').hide();
AJS.$('#space-directory-link').hide();
AJS.$('#space-tools-menu-trigger').hide();
AJS.$('#people-directory-link').hide();
AJS.$('#create-page-button').hide();
}
});
</script>
