Converting Public workspaces to Private workspaces in iManage

Question

I am using iManage worksite 9 and there are multiple workspaces which has been created using workspace creation. Now, most of the workspaces are having Public access while others are Private. I need to convert that Public workspaces to Private workspace which I can do manually one by one but I want to do all at once. Is there any way or script which I can use for the conversion. Any suggestions?

Thanks in Advance!

iManage Worksite : 9.0

iManage Filesite : 9.0 update 6

I'm not sure if it's still relevant, but you could use a tool like 'Prosperoware Milan Helpdesk' which makes WorkSite administration much easier and lets you modify many workspaces at once.

Another solution would be to run a SQL query that updates the 'default security' attribute in either DOCMASTER or PROJECTS table (I don't remember which one exactly). You would have to update the LASTEDITED date for the indexer to pick up the change and reindex workspaces' contents.
