Re: Space permissions via REST API
whoiskevin Mar 11, 2014 5:29 PM (in response to tone)I've never come across any of the permissions functionality in the web services. There is some functionality for security groups but not permissions.

I saw the security group functionality, too, hoping that there was something close by that addressed permissions. Seems like this might require being suggested as an Idea.

In the past, I have actually used the security groups service to manage this behavior with quite a bit of success, but it does take foresight and planning. For example, creating security groups ahead of time and assigning them the right privileges in the community, and then using the APIs to shuttle people in and out of those groups as needed. This makes the interactions more of a "Role Management" integration, rather than a pure-play permissioning one.
While not what you are asked for, I hope it helps provide a middle-ground.

Thanks for the reply!
I see how that can work, and it's good to know that you've achieved success with this method. We'll give that idea some thought.
Thanks again Ryan Rutan and Kevin Brown for confirming.

Re: Space permissions via REST API
allanlewis67 Apr 3, 2014 12:53 PM (in response to tone)Is there a REST API to report on Space Security Permissions by User?
We have only been using Jive since November and have not done anything yet with the REST API. So I just created this SQL script to report this report on Space Permissions by User (with Security Groups) from the Core DB.

From the feedback on this discussion by Ryan Rutan and Kevin Brown, I don't think there is a way to directly get space security permissions by user via REST API, but perhaps using the API for security group access would at least indirectly help you with getting that info. given that security groups have been logically mapped to the appropriate space permissions beforehand.
I haven't yet extensively used the API with respect to security groups, but I hope the link at least points you in the right direction.
