📂 How to color folders in SharePoint and Teams [Colorful Folders]
NEW VIDEO N. 384
In this video, you'll learn how to color folders in SharePoint and Teams.
I'll walk you through every step to set a color in a folder and how to do it automatically using Power Automate for instance.
The new SharePoint Rest API endpoints offer the ability to configure the folder's colors programmatically.

- What are the permissions for changing the colors on a department's SharePoint site? Can anyone with edit change the folder colors? Is there a way to prevent them from changing it? Are the folder colors included in the Public View?
You need Contribute/Edit permissions to change the color of folders in SharePoint.

- Ganesh,
I work for an organization that does not allow me CLI. Also, the point of a power automate solution is that you can repeatedly perform the same task. Your CLI solution is a one-time create and color folder solution. I do appreciate that you point out the need for permissions in SharePoint Document Libraries. Do you know if I or my IT department can set up Document Library Permissions for an HTTP request?
I did exactly what you show in the video, and I get this error message:
