Break inheritance permissions with SharePoint Designer
Hi, I am wondering if there is an easy way to break inheritance permissions in SharePoint Online with SharePoint Designer. I need create a folder structure into document set and break inheritance...
Out of curiosity: why do you want to break permissions using Designer when you have the SPO UI / Programmatic approach?
Hi Juan Carlos,
How are you?
Te cuento ;).
I have a workflow in a document library, this workflow started when an item created. If the element which created is a document set, them structure of folder created into this document set, but I need that three folder of this structure break inheritance permissions.
I use wokflow because in the beginning only the folder structure was created.
Thanks
So do you want to break inheritance using the SharePoint Designer workflow?
You could call a REST API from your SPD workflow:

- thank you so much for help me!! :)
- Well, if you need to maintain the workflow, you have to go to Pieter's approach...but if you can "re-build" the stuff, I would recommend you to go for something with more flexibility and easy to program that a SPD workflow
- I have to weigh the pros and cons of workflow and custom form to create a document set and decide in which direction to go.
Many thanks to all for help me
