Each projectdoc document provides document properties by the use of the Document Properties Marker Macro. If properties are defined on the homepage of a space, these properties become space properties. While space properties may be set in any space, there are some properties whose definition is only allowed in a user's space.

The pretend-being-a space property is such a user space property.

The following roles are defined by the projectdoc Toolbox:

To pretend holding a role, you may edit the homepage of your user space and add the pretend-being-a property with a value of the desired role.

But

1. changing to your homepage,
2. switching to edit mode,
3. changing the value,
4. and then saving the page

is quite cumbersome.

Let's try to apply these changes with a simple REST call!

What would be most productive is an entry to the page menu provided by Confluence. But if not everyone needs switching roles, this menu will soon be cluttered. What would be more convenient is the option for each user to compile her own menu according to her specific needs.

Bookmarklets allow to create menus in the browser. These menus are personalized and may be exported from and imported into different environments. Typically browsers also allow to sync them.

So how will it look like to create a pretender bookmarklet? First of all: it is already provided once you install the Bookmarklets Extension. The bookmarklet is called Pretender.

The Bookmarklet Extension provides a Bookmarklet Editor. This is a simple Confluence page with some macros attached.

Simply select the bookmarklet you want to install to your browser and then drag and drop it to your browser's menubar.
