Appfire Confluence Cloud ACLI: seems to be able to access only my public spaces

Question

Although I have installed the ACLI for Confluence Cloud successfully, and included my email and the API Key during the app's installation sequence, commands run on the ACLI seem to have access only to my site's public spaces.

What must I do to give the ACLI access to all spaces?

I am the site/org administrator and account owner.

Thank you.

Hello @Juan Leon ,

It is better to contact Appfire support directly using contacts from the vendor page https://marketplace.atlassian.com/vendors/1221170/appfire:

Hello @Juan Leon ,

If you want to access your personal spaces, please add --personal to the action command as shown below:

--action getSpaceList --file "build/output/clispaces/getSpaceListLimit.txt" --limit 1 --personal

Please refer to this example page for more details.

BTW, I am from Appfire, a vendor of ACLI.

Hope this helps!

Thanks,

Reshma

Thank you for the prompt reply and examples!

It turns out that this was essentially a permissions issue:  When running the ACLI and retrieving server information through the available commands, I noticed that I was at first authenticated as an anonymous user.  I am not sure why.  I had provided my admin email address and corresponding API during the client's configuration.

After taking the following steps, though, I was then authenticated as an admin as confirmed by the server info from ACLI.

Frankly, I am not sure which step was the most consequential one, as did them all in one pass:

1. Uninstall and reinstall the Confluence ACLI app on my Confluence Cloud site.

2. Run the 'update available?' command from the ACLI Windows client and then install the 'Latest' available version of the ACLI.

3. Create a new API key to use with the ACLI app--even though an already existing key continues to work fine with other apps.

I now see all the spaces I expect to see when running getSpaceList.

Thank you for the tip about including personal spaces in the listing.
