Hello, Lucas,

You might want to take a look at the Resource Policy endpoint for the REST 
API: https://github.com/DSpace/RestContract/blob/dspace-7_x/resourcepolicies.md

One way to solve this is by creating a script to authenticate with a DSpace 
service user with admin privileges and batch change your collections 
policies based on one or several rules.
