How to backup collaborators

Section titled Load current collaborators

Access your current space from the management API and execute a GET request to receive a space object.

Retrieve one Space

This will give you access to an object formed like this:

Space Object

Where you will be able to access: space.collaborators which is an array of all your current collaborators, their default role or their custom space_role_id.

What you will need to restore your collaborators will be:

The e-mail or SSO userid available in each collaborator.user object. Do not use the friendly_name.
The role field available on the collaborator object.
The space_role_id field available on the collaborator object.

Section titled Restoring your collaborators

To restore your collaborators you need the information above and execute a POST request on your space for each of them. Make sure to replace SPACE_ID from the below CURL request.
