      Issue Summary

      When anonymous access is enabled in Confluence: If accessing Confluence form home.atlassian.com or the sidebar, a user is treated as if they have anonymous access to Confluence even if they have a different permission level. 

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Enable anonymous access in Confluence
      2. Clear browser cache and cookies
      3. Log in from the home.atlassian.com URL 
      4. Select Confluence in the sidebar or on the home.atlassian.com page

      Expected Results

      A user sees all content appropriate to their permission level in Confluence

      Actual Results

      • navigate to Jira
      • navigate to Confluence through the app switcher

      Workaround

      Any of the following will work as a workaround:

      • navigate to Jira before navigating to Confluence
