When a user logs in, Refined calculates which categories should be visible. By default, users can view a category when they have permission to view a space inside the category. However, it is quicker to calculate this based on Manual Category Permissions than by iterating through all the spaces. Refined always respects Confluence permission settings in spaces: a user that is not allowed to see a space will not see the space even if they can see the category above it. Similarly, hiding a category containing a space will not hide the space to a user. If the user has the space’s URL or searches for it on the site, it will still show up if the space settings allow it. Head to the Refined Administration. Click the Configuration tab. Under the Category heading, enable Use manual category permission settings. Note that this directly affects what your see in your instance until you have set the specifications for categories for your Sites in the Site Builder.Next, go categories which were visible before might be hidden until you configure them. Go to the Site Builder tab . Categories to configure them: categories that don’t have category permissions set up are marked with an a red exclamation mark icon. To set up permissions for a category, click its Cogwheel > Edit category.
Permission | Description |
|---|
Anonymous users | The category is visible to every user, regardless of whether they are logged in. | Logged-in user | The category is visible only to users who are logged in. | Groups | The category is visible only to users from the Confluence user groups that you specify here. | Inherit
Only available on additional sites, not on the Global Site. | The category inherits the settings from the site. So if the site is set to Logged-in users, this category will also only be visible to users who are logged in. Note that this may result in categories being shown that do not contain any spaces. |
