Permission resource type

The Permission resource provides information about a sharing permission granted for a DriveItem resource.

Sharing permissions have a number of different forms. The Permission resource represents these different forms through facets on the resource.

JSON representation

Here is a JSON representation of the resource

{
  "id": "string (identifier)",
  "grantedTo": {"@odata.type": "microsoft.graph.identitySet"},
  "grantedToIdentities": [{"@odata.type": "microsoft.graph.identitySet"}],
  "inheritedFrom": {"@odata.type": "microsoft.graph.itemReference"},
  "invitation": {"@odata.type": "microsoft.graph.sharingInvitation"},
  "link": {"@odata.type": "microsoft.graph.sharingLink"},
  "roles": ["string"],
  "shareId": "string"
}

Properties

Property Type Description

grantedToIdentities Collection(IdentitySet) For link type permissions, the details of the users to whom permission was granted. Read-only.

Roles enumeration

Role Details

write Provides the ability to read and modify the metadata and contents of the item.
owner For SharePoint and OneDrive for Business this represents the owner role.
member For SharePoint and OneDrive for Business this represents the member role.

The permission resource uses facets to provide information about the kind of permission represented by the resource.

Sharing links contain a unique token required to access the item.

Permissions with an invitation facet represent permissions added by inviting specific users or groups to have access to the file.

Sharing links

Permissions with a link facet represent sharing links created on the item. These are the most common kinds of permissions. Sharing links provide a unique URL that can be used to access a file or folder. They can be set up to grant access in a variety of ways. For example, you can use the createLink API to create a link that works for anyone signed into your organization, or you can create a link that works for anyone, without needing to sign in. You can use the invite API to create a link that only works for specific people, whether they're in your company or not.

Here are some examples of sharing links.

View Link

This view link provides read-only access to anyone with the link.

{
  "id": "1",
  "roles": ["read"],
  "link": {
    "scope": "anonymous",
    "type": "view",
    "webUrl": "https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=5D33DD65C6932946!70859&authkey=!AL7N1QAfSWcjNU8&ithint=folder%2cgif",
    "application": { "id": "1234", "displayName": "Sample Application" }
  },
  "shareId": "!LKj1lkdlals90j1nlkascl"
}

Edit link

This edit link provides read and write access to anyone in the organization with the link.

{
  "id": "2ceefb3g32hh",
  "roles": ["write"],
  "link": {
    "scope": "organization",
    "type": "edit",
    "webUrl": "https://contoso.sharepoint.com/:w:/t/design/fj277ghautbb422707565gnvg23",
    "application": { "id": "1234", "displayName": "Sample Application" }
  },
  "shareId": "!LKj1lkdlals90j1nlkascl"
}

Specific people link

This link provides read and write access to the specific people in the grantedToIdentities collection.

{
  "id": "3",
  "grantedToIdentities": [
    {
       "user": {
        "id": "35fij1974gb8832",
        "displayName": "Misty Suarez"
      }
    },
    {
       "user": {
        "id": "9397721fh4hgh73",
        "displayName": "Judith Clemons"
      }
    }
  ],
  "roles": ["write"],
  "link": {
    "webUrl": "https://contoso.sharepoint.com/:w:/t/design/a577ghg9hgh737613bmbjf839026561fmzhsr85ng9f3hjck2t5s",
    "application": { "id": "1234", "displayName": "Sample Application" }
  },
  "shareId": "!LKj1lkdlals90j1nlkascl"
}

Sharing Invitations

Permissions sent by the invite API may have additional information in the invitation facet. If an invitation was sent to an email address that doesn't match a known account, the grantedTo property may not be set until the invitation is redeemed, which occurs the first time the user clicks the link and signs in.

{
  "id": "1",
  "roles": ["write"],
  "invitation": {
    "email": "jd@fabrikam.com",
    "signInRequired": true
  },
  "shareId": "FWxc1lasfdbEAGM5fI7B67aB5ZMPDMmQ11U"
}

After the sharing invitation has been redeemed by a user, the grantedTo property will contain the information about the account that redeemed the permissions:

{
  "id": "1",
  "roles": ["write"],
  "grantedTo": {
    "user": {
      "id": "5D33DD65C6932946",
      "displayName": "John Doe"
    }
  },
  "invitation": {
    "email": "jd@fabrikam.com",
    "signInRequired": true
  },
  "shareId": "FWxc1lasfdbEAGM5fI7B67aB5ZMPDMmQ11U"
}
