Permission under manifest file

[ishanig11]

Hi,

I have built office js plugin to read and write office files to one of server.
I dont want to give ReadWriteDocument permission to this add-in as this permission covers ReadAllDocument permission also. So client is hesitant to provide this permission.

Is there anyway by which we can just give Read & Write Document permission on context document?

Hi @ishanig11 Thanks for your question. I have found a reference for you: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/dev/add-ins/develop/requesting-permissions-for-api-use-in-content-and-task-pane-add-ins
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/javascript/api/manifest/permissions?view=common-js-preview
I think [Restricted | ReadDocument | ReadAllDocument | WriteDocument | ReadWriteDocument] is working.

we can define only one permission at a time. So how can I give read & write context document permission without using ReadWriteDocument (I dont want to use this permission)
