For security reasons, you may wish to limit the URLs from which users can get content that is displayed on your Confluence site, such as the content displayed in a gadget. A whitelist is a list of URLs whose content you wish to make available to users of your site.
Adding whitelist URLs for external gadgets
By default, Confluence will block a gadget's access to third-party data sources. When you are using a gadget that draws content from a third-party data source, you will need to add the URL of that data source to the gadget whitelist.
To add a URL to the whitelist for gadgets:
- Choose the cog icon
at top right of the screen, then choose Confluence Admin.
- Choose External Gadgets in the left-hand panel.
- Choose the Gadget Whitelist tab.
- Enter a URL for the Host to Whitelist. For example,
http://jira.atlassian.com
. You can also enter a URL pattern, as described below. - Choose Add.
The information on this page does not apply to Confluence OnDemand.

Notes
- URLs for which Application Links are configured are automatically whitelisted, so you do not need to add them to this list.
- When a gadget or subscription is removed from your site, the whitelist entry is not automatically removed.
