Macro says none of my accounts have access, but I am certain I do
What you are seeing
The macro says none of my accounts have access, but I am certain I do.
#Why it happens
Very likely GitHub rate limiting. A 403 from GitHub is classified as an access error regardless of why it was returned, and there is no rate-limit detection, retry or backoff anywhere in the capability.
#What to do
Wait a few minutes and press Refresh. Reduce the number of GitHub macros on a single page, since every macro re-fetches on every view.
#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 |
