How to get all the folders name from a SharePoint library where the user has edit permission

Question

Hi,

In a SharePoint online site, a document library has 40 folders, each of the folder has a unique permission and as per business requirement I need to show the only folder where the current logging user has edit permission only.

So, is there a SharePoint REST API filter query that will display all the folders name where the user has the edit permission.

Thanks,

Hi @Rishikesh Rai

Currently there is no such rest api to get all items which current user have specific permission. You can use following api to get permission of one of the folder and check if the user have edit permission to the folder.

/_api/web/GetFolderByServerRelativeUrl('DocumentTest/testfolder')/ListItemAllFields/roleassignments?$expand=Member,RoleDefinitionBindings
