Update Site Sharing Capability with Flow > How to use "admin.sp.com/_api/Tenant/Sites/Update"
Hello everyone,
As admin, I need to update the sharing capability of a SharePoint site using Power Automate.
I have not figured out a way of doing this with Graph API so I am now trying with SharePoint REST API.
Using, "Send an HTTP request to SharePoint", I can read the current setting on https://mytenant-admin.sharepoint.com/_api/Microsoft.Online.SharePoint.TenantAdministration.Tenant/Sites('siteId')/ but I can't use the Update method with POST.
Does anyone know how to do this?
Thanks !
In case someone looking for a solution, this is how I manage to solve this:
you need to use admin API, the URL of the admin API is
https://{tenant name}-admin.sharepoint.com/
you will need the site ID of the site that you want to change the sharing setting.
in your power automate add a new 'Send HTTP request to SharePoint'
Site address: https://{tenant name}-admin.sharepoint.com/
Method: Post
Uri: _api/Microsoft.Online.SharePoint.TenantAdministration.Tenant/Sites('{Site ID}')
Headers:
- accept : application/json;odata=verbose
- content-type: application/json;odata=verbose
- X-HTTP-Method: MERGE
Body:
{
"__metadata": {
"type": "Microsoft.Online.SharePoint.TenantAdministration.SiteProperties"
},
"SharingCapability": 1
}- Thank you for sharing! great find!
Hi,
https://{tenant}-admin.sharepoint.com/ not accepted as "Site Address" on "Send an HTTP request to Sharepoint"
Error: We are unable to find the site address. Please try selecting a site address from the dropdown.
OmarSeri Replace {tenant} in URL with the actual name of your tenant where you are creating the flow. For example:
https://contoso-admin.sharepoint.comAnd add it as a custom value like:

alextest how about PUT or, probably better use PATCH? Please try on non-production first.
