Help - API method /breakroleinheritance not working
Hello everyone, I need help with the breakroleinheritance method, which isn't working. Error Code 404 states that the ressource can't be found (free translated). All articles I looked through say...
WeibchenL Try using API like below based on item ID:
_api/web/lists/GetByTitle('Documents')/items(5)/BreakRoleInheritance(CopyRoleAssignments=true, ClearSubscopes=true)

If I change the content inside the brackets, it says that it cannot find it. Also, it would be ideal if the folder (item)ID could be used somehow, which does not seem to be possible if i take a part uf the URI for server relative URL.
As I do understand my error description, it does find the folder in which I want to break the roleinheritance but the error occurs because it can't find the ressource breakroleinheritance. Does that make any sense?
