Very easy!…

  1. Insert the HTML Macro
  2. Inside the Macro put this code:
<button class="create-dialog-create-button aui-button aui-button-primary" tabindex="100" onclick="javascript:location.href='/wiki/pages/createblogpost.action?spaceKey=SPACE_KEY';">Create Blog</button>

    1. Hi Patrick, yes you can use Javascript to query the REST API for the user groups and validate it.
      Example with JIRA REST to obtain the groups of the user:

      (function() {

function getCurrentUserData()
{
var user;
     AJS.$.ajax({
        url: &quot;/rest/api/2/myself&quot;,
        type: 'get',
        dataType: 'json',
        async: false,
        success: function(data) {
            user = data.key;
        }
     });
     return user;
}



function getCurrentUserGroups()
{
var user;
     AJS.$.ajax({
        url: &quot;/rest/api/2/myself?expand=groups&quot;,
        type: 'get',
        dataType: 'json',
        async: false,
        success: function(data) {
            group = data.groups.items[0].name;
        }
     });
     return group;
}


alert(&quot;User:&quot; + getCurrentUserData()+ &quot; Group:&quot;+ getCurrentUserGroups());


})();

      you can see the Confluence REST options here:
      https://docs.atlassian.com/atlassian-confluence/REST/6.6.0/?_ga=2.201438101.509108005.1515055286-1667334152.1507881432

      The methods are these:

      Get user
      GET /rest/user
      Get anonymous
      GET /rest/user/anonymous
      Get current
      GET /rest/user/current
      Get groups
      GET /rest/user/memberof

  2. Hi, what I meant was add restrictions to the blog inside that html macro. So somewhere in

    Create Blog

    add restrictions so that only a certain group can see the blog that will be created.

      1. Yes you can add the tag and insert the javascript code of my latest response. Then you must modify the code to obtain the REST data from Confluence and not for JIRA (but if you use SSO you can use the code as is and obtain the groups of the current user from the JIRA REST API).
