Audit Log Support
The aim of the Macro Security Manager is to provide more security and to allow alignment on compliances which may need to be processed within Confluence. To enhance the flexibility and traceability for this all changes in the Macro Security Manager administration configuration will be logged in detail so a track record is created for every change.
Manage Access to sensitive Macros
Due to some features of macros sometimes the impact of security is very high. These cases varies from macros which work with employee data to macros which can create user tracking profiles or 3rd party app macros which provides the ability to share information outside the application.
Highlighting this cases makes it simply clear that it is recommended, for companies with high security standards even mandatory, to do a check up on the macros which are available in Confluence and to think about the need of macros for the users taken into account the security level, the security risk and the ideal usability.
The Macro Security Manager closes a big missing part of confluence regarding the manageability of macros on a detailed level which ensures security level and enhances usability by reducing noise for users in terms of streamlining a ton of macros which is unknown and displayed in the macro editor to the right and needed macros for the right people which have the need to use them.
