Cannot restrict who adds Markdown or configure diagram languages

What you are seeing

There is no way to restrict who can add Markdown, turn diagram languages on or off, point diagrams at your own renderer, or manage approved domains.


#Why it happens

Markdown for Jira has no administration or project settings. Documents are ordinary Jira attachments, so Jira's own permissions decide who can add, edit and delete them, and every diagram is drawn by Capable's hosted service.


#What to do

These are not configurable in the Jira edition. Control access through normal Jira issue and attachment permissions instead.


#Limits that apply here

What happens

Global page results per fetch

50 issues

The Capable Markdown page loads 50 issues at a time; 'Show more' fetches the next page.

Diagram languages

28 languages

All 28 are always on; see Diagrams in fenced code blocks for the list.


#A few things that catch people out

  • Logged-out and anonymous users never see either surface; there is no anonymous or unlicensed read-only mode.

  • There is no admin or project-level configuration at all: no access restrictions, no diagram-language toggles, no self-hosted renderer setting, no approved-domain management.



Found it? Good.
