Here’s a chart of the types of permissions that may be granted to a user or group on a Confluence Space.
These values would be useful in conjunction with a script that did something like setting permissions on a Confluence Space.
“Delete Own” is undocumented by Atlassian, but maps to a value of “REMOVEOWNCONTENT”.
“Restrictions – Add/Delete” is referenced as “Pages – Restrict” in the Atlassian documentation, which is neither clear nor helpful.
