How to make all spaces read-only.

[Mehdi Bouazza]

Hello community

I am using Confluence Cloud, and I would like to set all spaces to read-only. Is there a way to achieve this automatically using ScriptRunner for Confluence Cloud for example?

If is not possible , is there an app available that allows me to accomplish this ?

HI @Mehdi Bouazza 

There is no way to use ScriptRunner to prevent users from editing pages. Instead, this can be done using Confluence's native functionality. 

In space settings, you can configure the permission set for your users to have only read access to that space. 

If this is something you want to do on a large scale or to do automatically, ScriptRunner can be used to set these permissions based on your needs. 

For example, you could create a listener that runs when a Space is created, and it automatically sets all the user group's permissions on the new Space to read-only. 

Does this help?
