Deprecated Interfaces

com.atlassian.confluence.core.Administrative
since 2.8. Please avoid this interface. Instead override ConfluenceActionSupport.isPermitted() and use PermissionManager.hasPermission(User,Permission,Object) instead. This will make it easier to determine the permissions required to invoke an action as they would be more explicit and in one place (you won't have to check whether the class or its super class implements this interface).

com.atlassian.confluence.pages.BreadcrumbsManager
use GlobalHelper instead to retrieve breadcrumbs and PageHelper to retrieve ellipsis breadcrumbs.

com.atlassian.confluence.event.EventListener
Old interface! Please use EventListener for your event listeners

com.atlassian.confluence.spaces.actions.SpaceAdministrative
since 2.8. Please avoid this interface. Instead override ConfluenceActionSupport.isPermitted() and use PermissionManager.hasPermission(User,Permission,Object) instead. This will make it easier to determine the permissions required to invoke an action as they would be more explicit and in one place (you won't have to check whether the class or its super class implements this interface).

Deprecated Classes

com.atlassian.confluence.plugin.descriptor.web.conditions.GlobalAdministratorOnlyCondition
since 2.7.

To err on the side of more security, we are assuming plugin developers intended a restriction to the most powerful group of administrators. Hence this deprecated class will inherit the permission checks of SystemAdministratorOrSuperUserCondition.
