Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to This change lets connected non-admins manage subscriptions, but current validation can misclassify disconnected users and unescaped space keys may alter the Server/DC request used to authorize access.

Thanks! Just got one thing I want to confirm before moving forward

It looks like with these changes, any member of a channel who connected their account to an instance can remove a subscription previously set by an admin, should this be something that also requires the permissions to manage a channel to do? (at least as I recall that's what was done for other plugins)
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Good catch and Jira does this with RolesAllowedToEditJiraSubscriptions. I'd rather not add it here though, since MM-69686 explicitly wants a connected non-admin member to be able to subscribe, so gating on channel perms leaves the ticket's repro still broken.
No content risk at least validateUserConfluenceAccess checks the space/page with the users own token before saving. The gap is a member deleting someone elses subscription. I think we might need a product call on this?

Yeah agreed that it might be beneficial to have a product call on the behavior here, I personally feel like a model where:
- Channel admins and above can create / edit / delete any subscsription
- Normal users can create subscriptions and only edit/delete what that they own
Would be more ideal and prevents the possibility of anyone considering this a security concern (as similar gaps have needed to be closed due to this in other plugins)

@jgheithcock would you be able to lead us in the right direction here?

Summary
Subscribe/edit/list/unsubscribe were System admin only on Cloud. The connection based path existed but was gated on ServerVersionGreaterthan9 which only the Server wizard ever sets. It was also dead on Server 9. Fixed both.
Permission check is now one function checkSubscriptionAccess in server/user.go used by the commands, endpoints and the webapp. Admins pass otherwise you need a Confluence connection and only on Cloud or Server/DC 9+. Since non admins can subscribe we check they can read the space first otherwise they could pipe content they can't see into a channel.

Change Impact: 🔴 High
Reasoning: The changes modify shared subscription authorization across server, Cloud, Server/DC, and web layers. They affect authentication-related access checks, persistence of
CloudID, and multiple user-facing subscription paths.Regression Risk: High. Shared authorization logic affects commands, endpoints, and UI behavior. Cloud, Server/DC, and legacy version paths have different conditions, with partial test coverage.
QA Recommendation: Perform comprehensive manual QA for admin and non-admin users on Cloud, Server/DC 9+, and legacy Server/DC versions. Test connected, disconnected, and account-less users. Skipping manual QA carries high risk.
