Remove page restrictions via REST-API

Dirk Eyfrig

 

Hi,

I'm trying to remove page read restrictions with the below REST call.

function removePageRestriction() {
  const bodyData = `[{
"content": {
  "expanded": true,
  "idProperties": {}
  },
"operation": "read",
"restrictions": {
  "user": {},
  "group": {}
  }
} ]`;
fetch('https://MYIP/rest/api/content/2367857478/restriction', {
  method: 'PUT',
  headers: {
    'Accept': 'application/json',
    'Content-Type': 'application/json' 
    }, 
  body: bodyData 
  })
.then(response => { alert( `Response: ${response.status} ${response.statusText}` ); 
  return response.text(); }) 
.then(text => alert(text)) .catch(err => alert(err)); 
} 

But upon execution, I receive an error 405.

Note: the code is taken from https://developer.atlassian.com/server/confluence/rest/v920/api-group-content-restrictions/#api-rest-api-content-id-restriction-put

I have no issues reading the restrictions of that page by using https://developer.atlassian.com/server/confluence/rest/v920/api-group-content-restrictions/#api-rest-api-content-id-restriction-byoperation-get

Has anyone successfully removed page restrictions from confluence pages via REST API?

Or - even better - is there any Confiforms IFTTT method to REMOVE all restrictions from a page (Setting restrictions is easy, but removing?)?

Regards,

Dirk

The solution can be found here:
https://community.developer.atlassian.com/t/remove-page-restrictions-via-rest-api/86971/9?u=dirkeyfrig

On pre 8.8.0 installations, the path is /rest/experimental/content/{contentId}/restriction,
from 8.8.0 onwards it should be /rest/api/content/{contentId}/restriction
