Delete a sharing permission from a file or folder

Question

Hi,

I have a question regarding "Delete a sharing permission from a file or folder" according to the link https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/onedrive/developer/rest-api/api/permission_delete?view=odsp-graph-online

I can delete group permission, by doing the following request :

DELETE /me/drive/items/{item-id}/permissions/{perm-id}

The question is it possible to delete only specific emails from this group, and keep access for remaining?

Answer 1

You mean the scenario where the item was shared with a group? No, you cannot remove specific entries out of the expanded group membership, you can only remove the group entry itself. If you have sufficient permissions, try adjusting the actual group membership (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/group-delete-members?view=graph-rest-beta&tabs=http).

Also note that you cannot remove inherited entries, ones with non-null value of inheritedFrom.
