Summary
Some customers may want to prevent Move or Copy options for pages, but there is no separate permission to disable those specific functions.
Environment
Confluence 7.x, 8.x
Solution
As a workaround, we can hide the Move and Copy menus with below Javascript in General Configuration > Custom HTML, and the end of BODY section:
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
<script type='text/javascript'>
AJS.toInit(function(){
if (! AJS.params.isConfluenceAdmin) {
AJS.$('#action-copy-page-link').hide();
AJS.$('#action-move-page-dialog-link').hide();
}
});
</script>The above code hides those menus for all the users except for Confluence Administrators. The changes will be applied immediately!
