How can i remove individual or all permissions on a folder?

[Pedrogr90]

Hello, 

I am building a flow which would require to remove permission for an individual and assign it to a different person for a folder. 

What i tried was to use this : 

 

But i get a "Folder is not supported"

After reading a lot, it seems that certainly the above just works for ListItems and Files. 

Another alternative I thought was to use the REST API: _api/lists/getByTitle('Documents')/items('item')/breakroleinheritance(copyRoleAssignments=false,clearSubscopes=true)

The above simply breaks the inheritance which can result in deleting some permssions if these are not part of the parent, but it's not a valid workaround. 

My question is if there is any way to remove individual , or all if necessary, permission on a folder via REST API maybe?

Thanks

Pedro

Hi @Pedrogr90 

The above should work. Can you please share a little bit more of your Flow so that I can try to help you.

Hi @Pedrogr90 ,

Have you figured this out? After you break the inheritance, to remove an individuals permissions from a folder/item, you can send another HTTP request to remove the user. Here are the steps from beginning to end.

STEP 1. Send an HTTP request to break inheritance.

_api/lists/getByTitle('ListName')/items(itemID)/breakroleinheritance(copyRoleAssignments=false,clearSubscopes=true)

Example:

STEP 2. Get the principle id of the user you want to remove and set it to a variable.

STEP 3. Send an HTTP request to remove the user from item

_api/lists/getByTitle('ListName')/items(itemID)/roleassignments/removeroleassignment(principalid=CreatedByPrincipleID)

Example:

Hope this helps!
