How can I change filter share permission for editors over the rest api with python

Paweł Połeć

Hello I'm trying to set project members as editors in python script, but nothing seams to work (looks like possible bug in REST API)

What I've tried:

1. (Worm up) Uodate filter by: https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/rest/v2/api-group-filters/#api-rest-api-2-filter-id-put

Edited field: sharePermissions , but off course that didn't worked.

2. Add permissions by: https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/rest/v2/api-group-filter-sharing/#api-rest-api-2-filter-id-permission-post

This went much better. I was able to add some sharing using example from rest api manual with params:

payload = json.dumps( {
  "type": "project",
  "projectId": "123123"
} )

but that worked only for viewers , but I need to add write(edit) permissions as well.

3. I found extra field to edit rights (poorly documented but that's not a problem in my case) so I modified above request like:

payload = json.dumps( {
  "type": "project",
  "projectId": "123123",<br>  "rights": {"value":3}
} )

Why "rights": {"value":3} ? I found it in request on jira web interface when I was updating permissions manually. I've also tried to pass just number. Whatever I used, i got error:

{
  "errorMessages": [
    "Unrecognized field \"rights\" (Class com.atlassian.jira.rest.v2.search.SharePermissionInputBean), not marked as ignorable\n at [Source: org.apache.catalina.connector.CoyoteInputStream@1414fb89; line: 1, column: 70] (through reference chain: com.atlassian.jira.rest.v2.search.SharePermissionInputBean[\"rights\"])"
  ]
}

4. I also tried to change "rights" to "edit": True, that was run successfully but edit field  was skipped, and in share object I get, I still had: "edit": false, . I also verified this by web interface.
BTW, when I tried to use anything else then bool value for edit, I got error:

{
  "errorMessages": [
    "Can not deserialize instance of boolean out of START_OBJECT token\n at [Source: org.apache.catalina.connector.CoyoteInputStream@1414fb89; line: 1, column: 41] (through reference chain: com.atlassian.jira.rest.v2.search.SharePermissionInputBean[\"edit\"])"
  ]
}

5. I also tried a lot of variants where I tried to edit sharePermission using "PUT" and url = "https://some.jira.com/rest/api/2/filter/123123/permission/45645"
and many more, but every time I've tried something like this, I've got response 405

 

Do You have any idea, how should I use it?

Apparently the payload need to have both permissions declared:

payload = json.dumps( {
  "type": "project",
  "projectId": "123123",<br>  "view": True,<br>  "edit": True,
} )

 After that API started to do what I've asked. Strange... Nevertheless Thank You atlassian for very well documented API, I just wasted only 1 day-work to figure this out...
