Change Permissions of a Page

[Field]

Hello there,

In my sharepoint list "Pages", i added a column that is called "Audition" that is a User/Group column.

Whenever i want to create another page, i want to insert the only people/group that has access to that page.

Im trying to achieve this with flow, but flow doesn't have an "Change permissions" step.

Hw can I do this?

Hi @Field,

This should be possible with the Send a http request to SharePoint action in combination with the SharePoint REST Api.

Serge Luca has a nice blogpost on this subject:

In that example he's changing permissions for documents. But it should also be possible with pages.

Hi there,

When i follow is guide, i get this error:

The expression "lists/getByTitle(‘Pages’)/items(38)/breakroleinheritance(copyRoleAssignments=false,clearSubscopes=true)" is not valid.

Hi @Field ,

Is it by any chance the default SitePages list? 

You could also retrieve the list guid and try and use that for the REST api call, like this example:

"lists(guid'6853ac4c-286c-4150-b846-15ec76280cfe')/items(38)/breakroleinheritance(copyRoleAssignments=false,clearSubscopes=true)

Hi @Expiscornovus ,

I have figured out my problem.

The flow you shown as an example is for one user only. But i am trying to user several users/Groups.

When i call the column i use to get the users, flow automatically uses a For Each to get each user/group, and therefor, im unable to get the variable.

Hi @Field,

Maybe it's an idea to make your variable of type array instead of string since it can contain multiple values?

Pieter Veenstra has a nice blog about arrays:

I have tried with an array and still shows me an error.
