Notes

  • From version 2.2.7 onwards, the Secure macro supports user and user group permissions. For those upgrading from 2.2.6, existing macros will still have the secret viewable by all users. But once the macro is updated, the user/user group permissions will be applied immediately.
  • Macro owners will always have permission to view and edit.
  • If no permission is defined (no user and user group defined in the macro browser), then ONLY the macro owner (the user who created/inserted the macro into the page) can view the encrypted secret.
  • User group permissions support "*" (all user groups).
