Why is update permission graph api for files not working with No Information provided error?

Question

I am getting error "Invalid input: No Information provided to update the specifed permission" when I try to update the role for a file permission.

To replicate the issue:

1. Add a permission using POST /drives/{drive-id}/items/{item-id}/invite {
   "recipients": [
   {
   "email": "xxx@Stuff .com"
   }
   ],
   "roles": ["read"],
   "message": "Here's the file that we're collaborating on.",
   "requireSignIn": true,
   "sendInvitation": false
   }
2. find the permission id using /drives/{drive-id}/items/{item-id}/permissions and email above
3. update the permission using PATCH /drives/{drive-id}/items/{item-id}/permissions/{perm-id} {
   "roles": ["write"]
   }

The roles were read and I wanted to change to write, not sure what went wrong here.

Answer 1

Hi @Jing Zhang ,

According to this documentation and as per my test we get this error when there is a sharing link ( webUrl property) present for the particular permission.

See below example screenshot from Graph Explorer:
