What are you actually trying to achieve with this?

Most "I want to see the permissions of a space" questions can be answered by "look at the space permissions page in admin".  A request to do it with a script suggests you want to actually do something more clever, and rather than just give you a piece of it, it may be that we can give you a script that can do most of the task.

Ah, that makes sense.

I don't have a script for that, but I have a user-macro bookmarked that does something similar and could be adapted easily (a user-macro is probably a bit more useful than a script in this case, because you can put it on a page restricted to admins and then visit the page whenever you need it, rather than go look for a script every time).

This in fact lists all your administrators

#set($spaces = $spaceManager.getAllSpaces())

<table class="confluenceTable"> 
#foreach($thisSpace in $spaces )
  #if ($thisSpace.isGlobal() )
    <tr>
       <td class="confluenceTd">
            <img class="space logo" width="32" height="32" src="$spaceManager.getLogoForSpace($thisSpace.key).getDownloadPath()" alt="$thisSpace.key"/>
            $thisSpace.getName()
       </td>
       <td class="confluenceTd">
           #set($spaceAdmins = $spaceManager.getSpaceAdmins($thisSpace  ))
           #foreach($spaceAdmin in $spaceAdmins )
              #usernameLink($spaceAdmin.name)<BR>
           #end
        </td>
    </tr>
   #end
#end
</table>

But you could replace the "set($spaceadmins = ..." area with something like

#set($permissions = $thisSpace.getPermissions())

#foreach($perm in $permissions)

   $perm <BR>

#end

This would give you everything, which might be a bit much, I'd probably want to put in an "if" to only dump out the permissions I'm interested in

Thanks, this was so helpful!  Do you know how to have all the spaces have a hyperlink back to the space?

You could change the code in the macro so that it embeds HTML links - I'd do it in the space name text myself.  Instead of 

$thisSpace.getName()

try something like the below (untested, I can't remember how to get the base URL, and I'm not sure the getKey is right)

<a href="<baseurl>/display/$thisSpace.getKey()">$thisSpace.getName()</a>

Thanks @Nic Brough -Adaptavist- , I ended up fixing this.

 

However, do you know how to show only active users:

 

#set($spaces = $spaceManager.getAllSpaces())


<table class="confluenceTable">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Space Name</th>
<th>Space Administrator</th>
</tr>
</thead>

#foreach($thisSpace in $spaces )
#if ($thisSpace.isGlobal() )
<tr>
<td class="confluenceTd">
<img class="space logo" width="32" height="32" src="$spaceManager.getLogoForSpace($thisSpace.key).getDownloadPath()" alt="$thisSpace.key" />
<a href="$thisSpace.getUrlPath()">$thisSpace.name</a></td>

<td class="confluenceTd">
#set($spaceAdmins = $spaceManager.getSpaceAdmins($thisSpace ))
#foreach($spaceAdmin in $spaceAdmins )
#usernameLink($spaceAdmin.name)<BR>
#end
</td>
</tr>
#end
#end
</table>
