Permissions
If you want Acronym Finder to be able to find acronyms on any restricted pages or spaces then you need to make sure the “Acronym Finder for Confluence” user has been given at least read access to the pages/spaces.
Users searching for acronyms will only be shown definitions for pages which they already have access to so no data is leaked in that way.
