How to delete space permissions using Confluence API?

I also found one more question that might help you:

* How to add space permissions using Confluence API?

It appears there's a workaround that you might be able to use the old remote API. I haven't tested this myself but please be aware since it's an older thread, this may no longer work as expected.

Hello Lakshmana,

Thank you for reaching out! Happy to assist you.

It's not clear to me what you need exactly, but I suspect you're looking to do one of two things:

* Change which users/groups have permission to delete a space in Confluence or
* Remove restrictions to a space in Confluence.

It should be known that it is not possible to set space permissions using the API, but we have a feature request for it:

* CONFSERVER-44329 Ability to set space permissions via REST API

You can find some details from my colleague Stephen, below on updating page restrictions:

* Is it possible to change Confluence space permissions via external integration?

Let us know if you have any questions about any of this!

Regards,

Shannon
