I need to get the permissions for some conflunece spaces using external scripts

[Peter Newton]

Hi,

I am running a script to get all the spaces from our confluence server, then I filter them according to some conditions.

For selected spaces, I need to get their permissions.

I checked the documentation but I can only see some POST actions that are supported. I need to GET

Anyone can help?

Thank you,

Bogdan

Hi @Peter Newton , 

looks like this is not possible with Confluence Server API. When calling the REST API endpoint /api/space, you can see that this options does not exist :

{ "id":98306, 

"key":"TEST", 

"name":"Test", 

"type":"global", 

"_links": { "webui":"/display/TEST", "collection":"/rest/api/space", 

"base":"xxx:8090", 

"context":"", 

"self":"xxx:8090/rest/api/space/TEST"}, 

"_expandable": { "metadata":"", "icon":"", "description":"", "homepage":"/rest/api/content/65576" } 

}

However, some users have managed to get this information with the Java API but this would basically require to write a plugin for your server instance.

This is an interesting thread on the Developer community that you can have a look at : https://community.developer.atlassian.com/t/rest-api-space-qywh-expand-permissions/13092/11

Let me know if this helps,
