      Issue Summary

      The "Macro usage" page doesn't show correct numbers due to user permissions who access the page.

      Activating an Admin Key section also doesn't help to get the inherited required restrictions, which would be useful as a workaround if it did.

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Create a restricted page.
      2. Insert a macro to the restricted page.
      3. Publish the page.
      4. Navigate to Settings -> Macro Usage (with another user)
        • URL: https://<sitename>.atlassian.net/wiki/admin/pluginusage.action https://<sitename>.atlassian.net/wiki/admin/macro-usage

      Expected Results

      The correct number of macro usage.

      Actual Results

      The number is less than the actual number.

            Hi everyone,

            This is Ashleigh from the Confluence team. Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention.
            The behavior of the Macro Usage page intentionally works in this way for security reasons. Under normal circumstances, users including admins should not have any access or insight into restricted content.

            To set the right expectations, we are closing this bug as 'Fixed',  as we do not have any plans to change the behavior of this feature, but we have added copy to the page to indicate the count may vary based on permissions.

            Thank you again for providing valuable feedback to our team! I will be marking it closed for now.
