How to use SpacePermissionContext

I’m trying to set the permission on a space, using the non-deprecated method for doing so, but I´m unsure how to do so.

I create a SpacePermission object which works fine, when using the deprecated method, if I try to use the same SpacePermission together with a default SpacePermissionContext object I get an error (Cannot invoke method savePermission() on null object) which leads me to believe that I´m not creating the SpacePermissionContext correctly.

What am I doing wrong?

import com.atlassian.confluence.internal.security.SpacePermissionContext;
import com.atlassian.confluence.internal.security.SpacePermissionManagerInternal
import com.atlassian.confluence.security.SpacePermissionManager
import com.atlassian.confluence.internal.security.SpacePermissionSaverInternal
import com.atlassian.confluence.spaces.Space
import com.atlassian.confluence.security.SpacePermissionSaver
import com.atlassian.sal.api.component.ComponentLocator
import com.atlassian.confluence.spaces.SpaceManager
import com.atlassian.confluence.security.SpacePermission
SpacePermissionManager spacePermissionManager = ComponentLocator.getComponent(SpacePermissionManager)
SpacePermissionSaverInternal spacePermissionSaveManagerInternal = ComponentLocator.getComponent(SpacePermissionSaverInternal)
SpacePermissionSaver spacePermissionSaveManager = ComponentLocator.getComponent(SpacePermissionSaver)
SpaceManager spaceManager = ComponentLocator.getComponent(SpaceManager)

Space space = spaceManager.getSpace("GATTS") 

SpacePermission spacePM = new SpacePermission("COMMENT", space, "all-internal-users")
//spacePM.setSpace(spaceManager.getSpace("GATTS"))
//spacePM = spacePM.createGroupSpacePermission("COMMENT", spaceManager.getSpace("GATTS") , "all-internal-users")

SpacePermissionContext context = SpacePermissionContext.createDefault()


spacePermissionSaveManagerInternal.savePermission(spacePM, context) //Cannot invoke method savePermission() on null object
//spacePermissionManager.savePermission(spacePM) //this works

Hello @anders.lantz,

In creating SpacePermissionContext, try this one if it works for you

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

Cheers,
Ian

Hi @anders.lantz,

I got the same problem, and it’s ComponentLocator.getComponent(SpacePermissionManager) that is returning null. Use space.addPermission instead and it will work.

This post says that the Internal classes are not available to people outside of Atlassian.
However, the documentation says the interface is public.
I’m so confused. :confused:

I tried to use space.addPermission, but since the com.atlassian.confluence.spaces.SpaceManager’s getSpace methods are deprecated, this runs into the same issue of trying to use a method that’s not deprecated.

You’re supposed to use com.atlassian.confluence.api.service.content.SpaceService now to get spaces, although it’s much more cumbersome and less straightforward.

The spaces for SpaceManager and SpaceService are totally different objects and do not mix. :frowning:
