Inherited restrictions for moved pages

Question

Hi together,

I would need help with a custom script. The main goal is, that a moved page gets the same restrictions as the new parent page...

I already know that a custom script has to listen to the "PageMoveEvent", but also our developer would need some inspiration how he can develop that script...

Use case:

- Space A (anonymous access)

- Page A (edit-restrictions for a special confluence-group - no inherited restrictions for sub-pages)

- Page B (only confluence-users can view the pages --> inherited restrictions for sub-pages)

All newly created pages will be under Page B --> Non-confluence users will not see these pages. After the pages are approved, they will be moved the Page A and should get the same restrictions as Page A.

The Build-In Script form the Scriptrunner for inherited restrictions unfortunately only work for newly created pages, but not for moved pages.

Thanks in advance and best regards

Alex

Hi Alexander,

I've recently put together a script which should accomplish what you need. You can find it in our code snippets repository using the following link:

Hope this helps you out!

Kind regards,

Here is a code for set restriction

page.addPermission(ContentPermission.createGroupPermission(ContentPermission.VIEW_PERMISSION, "Some Group"))
page.addPermission(ContentPermission.createUserPermission(ContentPermission.VIEW_PERMISSION, "Some user"))
pageManager.saveContentEntity(PublishPage.getEntity(), new DefaultSaveContext())

Write a script lister for MovePageEvent, try to find how to get page restriction and then run my code (on a loop)
