How can we add the user into confluence cloud space with permission via rest api

[d.b.kumar.chauhan]

Hi All,

I am trying to add the user into confluence cloud space and want to give some space permission to that user via Rest Api. But getting below error. Can anyone help me on the same.

API : 
https://{Site - URL}/wiki/rest/api/space/TESTDIP/permission

body

{

  "subject": {

    "type": "user",

    "identifier": "XXXXXXX6965f434"

  },

  "operation": {

    "key": "administer",

    "target": "page"

  },

  "_links": {}

}



error :

{

    "statusCode": 400,

    "data": {

        "authorized": true,

        "valid": true,

        "errors": [],

        "successful": true

    },

    "message": "com.atlassian.confluence.api.service.exceptions.BadRequestException: Operation not supported for target OperationCheckResult{operation=administer, targetType=page}"

}

Hi @d.b.kumar.chauhan 

You API call should contain target "space".

If a user doesn't have permission on space, you can't gran rights to a page?

The page target is only for pages that have restrictions set.

Hi @Marc - Devoteam ,

In confluence cloud there is any api to give multiple space permission to user in one shot.

HI @d.b.kumar.chauhan 

No the API call is baed on a single space.

You could built a script using a list where you would specify the space id's and have the script to do multiple API calls based on the space id's in the list

Hello @d.b.kumar.chauhan ,

You cannot add the user with API to Confluence space since there is no endpoint for this. As for adding the space permissions to them you can use this endpoint: /wiki/rest/api/space/{spaceKey}/permission

Thanks @Nikola Perisic

But while I am trying to use "/wiki/rest/api/space/{spaceKey}/permission" then I am getting below error:

{

    "statusCode": 400,

    "data": {

        "authorized": true,

        "valid": true,

        "errors": [],

        "successful": true

    },

    "message": "com.atlassian.confluence.api.service.exceptions.BadRequestException: Operation not supported for target OperationCheckResult{operation=administer, targetType=page}"

}
