Using REST API to set permissions to folders in a SharePoint document library
Hello,
I'm trying to change permissions for specific (sub-)folders in a sharepoint document library.
I found to use these at the ending to actually change it:
- /breakroleinheritance(copyRoleAssignments=false,clearSubscopes=true)
- /roleassignments/addroleassignment(principalid=’5‘, roleDefId=1073741827)
However, I can't seem to find out how to put the uri so that it works.
Can anyone help me?
WeibchenL If you are breaking permissions on "folder" inside the document library, try using server relative URL like below once:
_api/web/GetFolderByServerRelativeUrl('/sites/MySite/My%20Library/folder/subFolder')/ListItemAllFields/breakroleinheritance(copyRoleAssignments=true, clearSubscopes=true)Or based on item ID of folder:
_api/web/lists/GetByTitle('Documents')/items(5)/BreakRoleInheritance(CopyRoleAssignments=true, ClearSubscopes=true)Reference: SharePoint API BreakRoleBasedInheritance on Folder doesn't seem to work
For breaking permissions on document library, use URL like:
_api/web/lists/getByTitle('Documents')/breakroleinheritance(copyRoleAssignments=true, clearSubscopes=true)
