    You could use following PowerShell.

    #Function to Get Permissions Applied on a particular Object, such as: Web, List, Folder or List Item
Function Get-PnPPermissions([Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.SecurableObject]$Object)
{
    #Determine the type of the object
    Switch($Object.TypedObject.ToString())
    {
        "Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.Web"  { $ObjectType = "Site" ; $ObjectURL = $Object.URL; $ObjectTitle = $Object.Title }
        "Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ListItem"
        {
            If($Object.FileSystemObjectType -eq "Folder")
            {
                $ObjectType = "Folder"
                #Get the URL of the Folder
                $Folder = Get-PnPProperty -ClientObject $Object -Property Folder
                $ObjectTitle = $Object.Folder.Name
                $ObjectURL = $("{0}{1}" -f $Web.Url.Replace($Web.ServerRelativeUrl,''),$Object.Folder.ServerRelativeUrl)
            }
            Else #File or List Item
            {
                #Get the URL of the Object
                Get-PnPProperty -ClientObject $Object -Property File, ParentList
                If($Object.File.Name -ne $Null)
