Hi viktorjonsson 

I'm sorry InformationRightsManagementSettings attribute is Read Only from REST API, while IrmEnabled is Read and Write.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/office/developer/sharepoint-rest-reference/dn531433(v=office.15) 

 

Try to make a post directly to this endpoint /<site>/_api/web/lists(listid)/InformationRightsManagementSettings/allowPrint ( https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/office/sharepoint-visio/jj247181%28v%3doffice.15%29 ) it seems to be supported :)

 

Cheers,

Federico

    May I ask what json payload you're sending when you post directly to .../AllowPrint?

     

    I'm trying the following and get status code 200 back but the boolean value does not change.

     

     

    await MakeJsonRequestAsync(
  new { AllowPrint = true },
  "/_api/web/lists('" +listId+ "')/InformationRightsManagementSettings/allowPrint",
  newSiteUrl,
  accessToken,
  HttpMethod.Post,
  headers: new Dictionary() { }
);

      Hi viktorjonsson 

      could you please make a GET to this endpoint, and see the result?

      Cheers

        Yes, I'm doing a GET and can then see that the boolean flag has not changed. 


        var path = "/_api/web/lists('" + listId + "')/InformationRightsManagementSettings/AllowPrint";
        HttpResponseMessage response = await MakeJsonRequestAsync(
    new { AllowPrint = true }, 
    path,
    newSiteUrl,
    accessToken,
    HttpMethod.Post,
    headers: new Dictionary<string, string>() {}
);

response.EnsureSuccessStatusCode();

var allowPrintResp = await MakeGetRequestAsync(path, newSiteUrl, accessToken);
var allowPrint = await allowPrintResp.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
// allowPrint == {"d":{"AllowPrint":false}}
