This question is in reference to Atlassian Documentation: Spaces List Macro
Does anyone out there know how I can generate a list of all spaces in our Confluence instance that ignores the permissions of the currently logged-in user?
The existing Spaces List macro obeys permissions, and only displays a list of spaces that a user has access to see. This is a solid implementation from a security perspective. However, I am interested in generating a list of all Confluence spaces, regardless of whether the logged-in user has access to see that space. This may be undesirable for many other Confluence instances out in the world since acknowledging the existence of a space to users that don't have access to it is bad from a security perspective. However, the Confluence administrators at my company have decided that allowing all users to see a list of spaces that they may or may not have access to is desired. Otherwise, users may create duplicate content by accident when the content already existed in some other location that they should have gotten access to.
