Inherited Restrictions Rest API

[Alan Yan]

Hi,

I was wondering if I'm able to get more details about a page's permissions using the Cloud Rest API. I've used both the Get Restrictions https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/rest/api-group-content-restrictions/ and Get Content (expanding on restrictions) https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/rest/api-group-content/, but it appears that the responses only reflect the restrictions that are reflected on the UI for that page.

Is there any way to get all the inherited restrictions for a page? 

What about how to tell if a page has inherited restrictions or not? And is there a way to see if the page restriction is set to ‘everyone’, ‘everyone can view, some can edit’, or ‘some can view and edit’?

Lastly, is there an exposed endpoint we can use to show if additional restrictions conflict with inherited restrictions, like it's shown on the UI? For example, say this page's parent has a restriction where only the Engineering group can view/edit. Then, I create a child page, but add a non-engineer (Betty) to the view/edit. As you can see below, it says that Betty "Needs access to a parent page first".

Hello @Alan Yan !

Currently, this is not possible via REST API. I have raised a suggestion and you can check it here:

• Ability to list inherited page restrictions via REST API 

The best approach would be to vote and watch the report. Voting helps to increase the visibility of the report and watching it will keep you up to date with everything posted there.

Let us hear from you!
