With confluence 7.12.3, we are not able to add permissions for groups to space using java API

Question

We used 
SpacePermission permissionView = SpacePermission.createGroupSpacePermission(SpacePermission.VIEWSPACE_PERMISSION, space, groupName);
space.addPermission(permissionView);

hello, I am using 
public class com.atlassian.confluence.security.SpacePermission

in this class we have
public static final java.lang.String VIEWSPACE_PERMISSION = "VIEWSPACE";

Hi @Satnam singh aujla

I just had a look into the API.

The enum you use is deprecated:

https://docs.atlassian.com/ConfluenceServer/javadoc/7.12.4/com/atlassian/confluence/it/SpacePermission.html

Perhaps this could be the problem.

If not, please reach out to the atlassian developer community. They will help you more :)
