Anonymous access to images in Confluence Questions

    Description

      NOTE: This bug report is for Confluence Server. Using Confluence Cloud? See the corresponding bug report.

      Steps to reproduce:

      • Run CQ in standalone mode (disable Confluence Spaces plugin)
      • Go to Global Permissions (the CQ version)
      • Enable anonymous access to Confluence Questions
      • Go to a question with an image attached or directly to the confluence attachment link.

      Expected Behaviour

      • The Confluence Questions image is displayed

      Actual Behaviour
      Direct Link:

      • The user is redirected to a login prompt
        Confluence Question Page:
      • The user is displayed a broken image

      Cause?
      This seems to happen because Confluence is still respecting the non-CQ, global anonymous usage permissions when accessing attachments/images in Confluence.

      Side Note:
      If you enable the Confluence Spaces plugin, go to global permissions and enable Use Confluence permissions for anonymous users, then it works as expected once the Confluence Spaces plugin is disabled again. If you leave spaces enabled access issues to images are still prevalent.
