Thanks Mike,

I scripted the following:

- make all spaces in Data Dictionary not to inherit from parent's permission
- invite everyone as consumer in Data Dictionary child spaces
- remove the permission of the data dictionary space

and it works.

So now the "Data Dictionary" space will be hidden inside "Company Home" for all users except admin.

Regards,

Alex

For info, here is the script I used with success.

//Hide data dictionary for all users except administrators

var datadictionary = companyhome.childByNamePath("Data Dictionary");
var list = datadictionary.children;

for (var i in list) {
   var child = list[i];
   
   child.setInheritsPermissions(false);
   child.setPermission("Consumer", "GROUP_EVERYONE");   
}

datadictionary.removePermission("Consumer");‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍
