Currently, it’s not possible to make macros visible to anonymous users. This issue is classified as “Minor” in terms of priority and has been lingering without adequate attention from Atlassian for quite some time.
I consider this feature to be a “Major” feature. Otherwise, macros don’t make much sense. If Forge is supposed to be a suitable solution to Connect, these missing features need to be addressed.
Thanks for the feedback. We built support for anonymous users on the JSM portal earlier this year but haven’t rolled it out the Confluence yet.
We know it’s a gap with Connect we need to address and FRGE-1145 has quickly risen to be a top 5 FRGE ticket by votes. We still don’t have an ETA to share but follow that ticket and we’ll keep you updated.
It appears that this feature is missed by many users. What I’m criticizing here is that the priority of the ticket does not seem to reflect the actual need (ranked with a low priority).
