Is there a Java API to remove a permissions from a Space

Andreas von Euw

We've build a custom Confluence Plugin for managing Space permissions.

In Confluence 5.9 we've used com.atlassian.confluence.spaces.Space.removePermission to remove a existing permission from a Space. This does not work anymore with Confluence 6.x

Does somebody know how to implement this in newer Confluence Versions?

@Andreas von Euw did you ever find an answer? The only way I see in the 6.x Java API to get user-related permissions:

DefaultSpaceManager.getAllPermissionsForUser(ConfluenceUser user) 

...but its protected and not accessible via the API.

I have a list of ConfluenceUser(s) and have to remove them from a specific space's permissions. I see no way of accomplishing this aside from a nuclear option:

//Remove all permissions entirely
DefaultSpaceManager.removeAllPermissions(Space space) 

...then rebuilding all remaining users based on a predefined role-permission mapping

 

Forgot to add, if you have the SpacePermission already you can use this:

removePermission(SpacePermission permission, SpacePermissionContext context)

creating the SpacePermissionContext is straightforward:

SpacePermissionContext context = SpacePermissionContext.builder().build();

You can add event-related options to the context if you want to suppress them, etc.
