Karl Wright commented on CONNECTORS-1616:
-----------------------------------------
So, the issue here is that you are giving the authority insufficient
permissions to be able to get individual user permissions. You can't fix that
by simply ignoring it. I don't understand, therefore, why you expect this
patch to solve anything for you. It seems to me like it would just obscure the
fact that you are configuring a user without admin privs.

> The Confluence Authority asks spaces permissions for each space returned by
> the getSpaces() method of the ConfluenceClient class.
> The concerned method getSpacePermissionsForUser(Space space, String
> username) sends a request to Confluence and triggers a ConfluenceException if
> the request response is different from 200, otherwise it parses the response
> as a JSONArray to get the permissions.
> The problem is that even with a 200 request response code, the content of the
> response may be a simple JSONObject that explains an internal Confluence
> error. It happens frequently when the username is not allowed to get
> permissions on certain spaces :
> {code:java}
> {
> "id": null,
> "error": {
> "code": 500,
> "message": "The application was unable to serve your request:
> com.atlassian.confluence.rpc.NotPermittedException: Only space administrators
> can view permissions for other users in the space.",
> "data": "com.atlassian.confluence.rpc.NotPermittedException: Only space
> administrators can view permissions for other users in the
> space.\ncom.atlassian.confluence.rpc.NotPermittedException: Only space
> administrators can view permissions for other users in the space.\n\tat
> com.atlassian.confluence.rpc.soap.services.SpacesSoapService.getPermissions(SpacesSoapService.java:188)\n\tat
>
> com.atlassian.confluence.rpc.soap.XhtmlSoapService.getPermissionsForUser(XhtmlSoapService.java:226)\n\tat
> sun.reflect.GeneratedMethodAccessor3812.invoke(Unknown Source)\n\tat
> sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:43)\n\tat
> java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:498)\n\tat"
> }
> }
> {code}
> As a username will almost never have the rights to get permissions on ALL
> spaces, it is problematic because the response parsing process triggers an
> Exception and so the Confluence Authority response is
> UNREACHABLEAUTHORITY:confluence, instead of delivering permissions for
> allowed spaces.
