how to find space permission of a user

Question

Hello,

I have a user leaving and I want to find all the confluence space/documents this user has permissions so that I can assign them to other user(s). Is there a way to find this information?

Hello Shailesh!

You can achieve those information by using SQL query in the database. There are 3 tables in the database which you have to take a look at:

* user_mapping table
this table contains the username and its user_key. Take a look at the following screenshot:

You can see that admin's user_key is ff80818152f284990152f293884d0002. This user_key value is what we will use to refer admin in the next tables.

* CONTENT table
this table contains the information about the Content inside your Confluence, such as page, attachment, etc. This table will shows you which page was created by the user. Try this:

Now you can find out which page is created by that user.

* SPACES table
this table contains the information about the Spaces inside your confluence, including its creator. Try this:

Now you can find out which space is created by that user.

I hope my explanation can help you. Feel free to ask questions, and have a good day!
