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.
