Add group permission to every Space

[Florian_Huber]

Hi!

I want to add a global read only group to every existing space.

I already set it in the default for new spaces, but how can I update all existing spaces?

Try this,

• Login in to confluence using admin permission
• move to and admin page
• Open JS console in browser (CMD + SHIFT + I on MacOS)
• Paste following JS code and press Enter.

jQuery.ajax({dataType: 'json',
            contentType: 'application/json',
            type: 'POST',
            url: contextPath + '/rpc/json-rpc/confluenceservice-v2/getSpaces',
            success: function( data ) {
              jQuery(data).each(function() {
                if (this.type === "global") {
                  var requestArray = [];
                  var permissionsArray = [];
                  permissionsArray.push("VIEWSPACE");
                 
                  requestArray.push(permissionsArray);
                  requestArray.push("<your_new_group>");
                  requestArray.push(this.key);
                  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);
                              }
                  });
                }
              });
            }
});

You have to replace <your_new_group> with name of group.

You can add more permission to above 'permissionsArray' like this

permissionsArray.push("EDITSPACE");
permissionsArray.push("EXPORTPAGE");
permissionsArray.push("SETPAGEPERMISSIONS");
permissionsArray.push("REMOVEPAGE");
permissionsArray.push("EDITBLOG");
permissionsArray.push("REMOVEBLOG");
permissionsArray.push("COMMENT");
permissionsArray.push("REMOVECOMMENT");
permissionsArray.push("CREATEATTACHMENT");
permissionsArray.push("REMOVEATTACHMENT");
permissionsArray.push("REMOVEMAIL");
permissionsArray.push("EXPORTSPACE");
permissionsArray.push("SETSPACEPERMISSIONS");

You can try this on staging before running on production.
