Customizing Confluence Dashboard (logged in vs logged out)

[Ian Mason]

Is there any easy way to add an IF statement to the Confluence dashboard such that a logged in user sees a different set of buttons vs a logged out user?

Browse to Confluence Admin | Look & Feel | Layouts

Edit the Global Decorator with something like this:

#if($action.authenticatedUser)
  ## logged in user logic/buttons etc
#else
  ## anon user
#end

Between the if and then the else statement, do I have to reproduce all the elements from the code between <!---General Page Decorating Begins --> and <! -- ends>? or just those buttons I'd like to modify?

Just the bits you want to change. if this is in lots of places, you can add lots of "if..else..end" statements
