Which users have access to a given space?

Question

For a given space, how can I list which users have access?

Hi @Ken Poulton

if you are using ScriptRunner for Confluence, this could be done in a macro I think.

I currently do not have a SR for Confluence available to try, but actually, you would have to get all the users:

Solved: Extract list of users who are part of "Confluence-...

Furthermore, you would have to combine it with the page permissions:

The code to get the permissions should be like this:

import com.atlassian.confluence.spaces.SpaceManager
import com.atlassian.confluence.spaces.Space
import com.atlassian.sal.api.component.ComponentLocator

def spaces = ComponentLocator.getComponent(SpaceManager).getSpace("SPACEKEY")
def spacePermissions = space.getPermissions() 
spacePermissions.each{ permission -> 
   if (permission.getGroup() in <groupsOfUser>){ 
       //Do something when user has access
   } 
}

Once you have all the permissions, you would have to check the users against it or check the groups of the user against it.

Unfortunately I do not have Confluence available to try, but this should be working.

Of course, the macro would have to create some kind of displaying structure such as a table or something like that...

Hope this helps!

Regards,

Stefan

Welcome to the community. I hope it finds you well. Let me try and help you answer this questions.

First you will need access as a space admin or site admin to adjust the permission for users and groups. 
Please make sure you have correct permissions. Out of Box the permissions should be set to use the license group Confluence-users to add people to permission of spaces. If those are not availabed you can add users from the settings of the space permission and go to users or groups and start to add users and their selected permissions you want them to have.

Here is some links to how permission work:

Yes, need this more automated and also ability to share with non-admins.

A macro that lists the users (including access via groups) for a given space would do the job.  Then I could put it on a page and restrict page access if needed.

Or a way to generate this list via Command Line Interface.
