How to add space permissions using Confluence API?

[PeterL]

I want to add space permissions for a user/group using the Remote API. In the docs i found the function.

boolean addPermissionsToSpace(String token, Vector permissions, String remoteEntityName, String spaceKey) 
- Give the entity named remoteEntityName (either a group or a user) the permissions permissions on the space with the key spaceKey.

My problem is, i don't know what the JSON should look like for the function. The problem is, i don't know how to map the "Vector" Object to JSON.

I tried the following wihtout success.

1. [["EDITSPACE", "VIEWSPACE"], "confluence-users","SPMJ"] 
2. [[{"EDITSPACE", "VIEWSPACE"}], "confluence-users","SPMJ"]

Could someone please post an example?

I do a POST on following URL: 

https://{confluenceURL}/rpc/json-rpc/confluenceservice-v2/addPermissionsToSpace

Actually, you can use the old remote APIs with simple JSON, that's why it's referred to as a JSON-RPC API.

This worked for me when I pasted it into the javascript console.  Don't forget you have to be logged in as administrator.

var requestArray = [];
var permissionsArray = [];
permissionsArray.push("VIEWSPACE");
permissionsArray.push("EDITSPACE");
requestArray.push(permissionsArray);
requestArray.push("confluence-users");
requestArray.push("SPMJ");
jQuery.ajax({dataType: 'json',
            contentType: 'application/json',
            type: 'POST',
            url: contextPath + '/rpc/json-rpc/confluenceservice-v2/addPermissionsToSpace',
            data: JSON.stringify(requestArray),
            success: function( data ) {
              console.log(data);
            }
});

Thanks! Worked for me too.

How are the other parameters called (e.g. DELETE OWN, DELETE PAGE, etc..)

EDIT:

So far I've found out the following:

"VIEWSPACE",
"EDITSPACE",
"REMOVEPAGE",
"EDITBLOG",
"REMOVEBLOG",
"COMMENT",
"REMOVECOMMENT",
"CREATEATTACHMENT",
"REMOVEATTACHMENT",
"REMOVEMAIL",
"REMOVEOWNCONTENT",
"EXPORTSPACE",
"SETPAGEPERMISSIONS",
"REMOVEPAGE"

Hi!

This remote api is based on SOAP (WebService) protocol, you cannot use simple JSON.

Maybe it's better to use REST?

Sorry, i mean the REST-API, see https://developer.atlassian.com/confdev/confluence-rest-api/confluence-json-rpc-apis.

"Send POST requests to the Confluence API exposed via JSON-RPC at /rpc/json-rpc/confluenceservice-v2."

My only problem is, i don't know how to map "Vector" to JSON.

Can someone post an example, what the JSON must look like.

Yes, you are right! That was my mistake. Looks like Stephen posted the right answer.
