In Confluence Questions is there any way of editing reputation thresholds?
For example: By default users need 500 points to be able to edit a topic, if I wanted to change this to be 250 points is there any way of achieving this?
There's not yet an official, supported & documented way to do this. However, there is a secret REST API that allows this. You'll need to write and execute a script to make the change. Here's an example in Python using the Requests library:
import sys import requests confluence_url = "http://localhost:1990/confluence" username = "admin" password = "admin" s = requests.session() # Login with Admin username/password r = s.post(confluence_url + "/dologin.action", data={"os_username": username, "os_password": password}) if r.status_code != 200: print "Login failed" print r.text sys.exit(1) # Change the topic reputation threshold to 250 points r = s.post(confluence_url + "/rest/questions/1.0/admin/permissionThreshold", data={"EDIT_TOPIC": "250"}) if r.status_code != 200: print "Failed to update permission threshold" print r.text sys.exit(1) print "Permission Threshold updated successfully"
Edit:
Here are the permissions which can be controlled by reputation limits, and their default thresholds. You can update them all in a single POST request to the REST API by specifying each one as an individual form parameter.
That's great - thank you for that. We will be wanting to customise all of the reputation settings, could you let me know the data tags for each one (vote down, delete, etc)? Thank you for your help.
I updated my answer with the full list
Thank you very much
