If visibility of a user macro is set to system admins only, what do non-admin users see when editing a page?

• A. They see the macro output
• B. They see nothing
• C. They see the placeholder during editing, and the macro is hidden in the Macro Browser
• D. They can still edit the macro in full

Answer: (C)

Visibility settings control who can view and use a user macro in the editor. When a user macro is restricted to system admins, non-admin users cannot access its code or run it. In the page editor, Confluence shows a placeholder for that macro, indicating its presence but that it isn’t accessible to them, and it won’t appear in the Macro Browser as an available option to insert. So non-admins see a placeholder during editing, and the macro is hidden in the Macro Browser.
