    Hi Nigel Price

     

    I've got a list called Testlist in the root of my site collection that I connected to with ConnectPnPOnline.

     

    The following 6 lines now do what you need:

     

    $web = Get-PnPWeb -Identity "/" 
$spoList= Get-PnPList "Testlist" -Web $web 
$spoList.BreakRoleInheritance($true, $true)
$spoList.Update()

$spoList.Context.Load($spoList)
$spoList.Context.ExecuteQuery()

    This works for web as well
    $web.BreakRoleInheritance($true, $false)
    $web.Update()
    $web.Context.Load($web)
    $web.Context.ExecuteQuery()
