Byline is missing everywhere, or in one space
What you are seeing
The byline is missing everywhere, or in one space.
#Why it happens
Either an admin has hidden the capability site-wide via the hidden-capabilities app property, or the space has it in its always-off list. Unlicensed and logged-out readers also never see the byline, because that grant applies to the macro only.
#What to do
Check the site-wide hidden-capabilities list and the space's General settings tab. Note that hiding the capability does NOT stop existing GitHub macros from rendering.
#Settings involved
Setting | Where | What it does |
|---|---|---|
Hide GitHub across the whole site | App property `capable-global-hidden-capabilities`, object name `hiddenCapabilities`, value | Hides the capability tenant-wide. IMPORTANT: this gates the BYLINE ONLY. The macro module has no display conditions, so hiding the capability does not stop existing GitHub macros from rendering on pages. |
Turn GitHub on or off per space | Space property `<APP_HASH>_capable`, object name `capabilities.alwaysOff` / `capabilities. | AlwaysOff suppresses the byline in that space; alwaysOn shows it even on pages with no GitHub macro. Again, byline only. Macros still render. |
Unlicensed and anonymous access | Not user-configurable | Granted on the MACRO module only, for both 'unlicensed' and 'anonymous'. So a reader outside the licence, or logged out entirely, still sees public file content in the degraded read-only branch. But gets no "Github" byli |
#Limits that apply here
Limit | Value | What happens |
|---|---|---|
Content property cap of 32 KB | - | Confluence caps content property values at 32 KB. The trimmer empties the Capable content indexing macro-key list to get under 30,000 bytes. And that list is one of the byline's display conditions, so |
