Variables settings
Variables has no settings tab of its own. It is controlled from the shared Capable settings screens and from ordinary Confluence space permissions. This is the complete list.
#Every setting
Setting | Where | Who | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|
Capabilities, then Variables (Visible or Hidden) | Capable global settings, Capabilities tab | Confluence administrators | Hides the Variables navigation item and the Variables byline item for everyone on the site. |
Variables (Auto, Always or Never) | Space settings, Capabilities card | Space administrators | Shows or hides the Variables byline item in one space. |
Permissions tab | Capable global settings | People who manage permissions for global Capable content | Controls who manages restrictions on global variables, which live in the Capable Asset Store. |
Space permissions on the Capable Asset Store space | Confluence space settings | Confluence administrators | View decides who can read global variables; Add pages decides who can create them. |
#A few things worth knowing
Hiding Variables only removes it from Capable's navigation and byline. Macros already on pages keep showing their values.
Settings changes can take a minute to reach other people.
Who can read and create space variables is decided by that space's own permissions. There is nothing extra to configure.
