Description
When an edit restriction is added to a page, only that page is affected. Normally, this is the desired behavior. However, is some cases, allowing all descendents inherit the edit restriction is desirable. Confluence doesn't have a user interface to allow this, but a single CLI command does this. The command operates on the descendent pages that currently exist - new pages would need to be manually restricted or the command re-run.
