Remove user permissions from Confluence space

[Tomislav Sablic]

Hello,

Could someone help me with ScriptRunner REST endpoint running on Confluence Server 7.2.0?

I just need to remove user permissions from space only. For example, I pass username and space key, and the script removes all permissions. I've been trying to use SpaceManager, SpaceManagerInternal but my context is always null. 

def space = spaceManager.getSpace(spaceKey)

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

spacePermissionManager.removeAllUserPermissions(user,context) 

The builder().build() doesn't work, and createDefault() as well.

How do I use this context in the right way?

Thanks.

Hi Tomislav! 

I was able to get this working with the snippet linked here

For reference, I am using Confluence 7.8 with ScriptRunner 6.14.0 installed. 

Please let me know if this works for you! 

Thanks,
Lee

I know it's a bit delayed, but could you please put the code in your answer here?  Unfortunately a lot of sites like Bitbucket are blocked by the company I work for.

Thanks!

Sure thing! Here's the script:

def spacePermissionManager = ComponentLocator.getComponent(SpacePermissionManager)
SpacePermissionContext context = SpacePermissionContext.createDefault()

def userAccessor = ComponentLocator.getComponent(UserAccessor)
def user = userAccessor.getUserByName("<username>")

spacePermissionManager.removeAllUserPermissions(user, context)

The removeAllUserPermissions method is deprecated now. 

Do you happen to know if we're able to use the SpacePermissionManagerInternal class that the documentation says replaces the old method?

I think I read somewhere that Internal classes are only for Atlassian use, but I could very well be wrong.
