Disable Inline Comments Add Permission for Anonymous Users

Prathmesh Mengane February 8, 2023

We have disabled Add+Delete permissions for Anonymous users in our Space settings still the Anon users are able to add Inline comments on Pages within the space. How can we disable this?

I read in another post that Anon users can view inline comments which is not ideal but we are fine with it for now, but them having able to add comments is an issue for us. 

In this article it states that "prevent comments from being created in their space by removing the 'Add Comments' permission from the 'confluence-users' or 'users' groups, and also the anonymous users and all other users and groups." 

What are we missing?

@Prathmesh Mengane Unfortunately we cannot disable and hide the inline comments from anonymous users and already some of the affected users raised a service request to Atlassian so please vote and watch the below request to get an update on this issue.  https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-70459

Also, i am still trying to explore other ways of this issue so please keep an eye on this to get the latest update.

Thanks @Venugopala Naidu for the quick response. Are you saying that there is no way to even disabling anonymous users Adding inline comments?

@Prathmesh Mengane Yes, we can disable the comments on a page by using space permissions in a confluence space but we cannot disable the inline comments to anonymous users.
