How to create a sharing link for user scope using createLink?

Question

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/driveitem-createlink?view=graph-rest-1.0&tabs=http

This API takes scope parameter in the body, which is the scope for the sharing link. When we use scope as "users". Where do we specify what users are we sharing the link to?

There is no example for "users" scope in the documentation. Yet there is an example for "embed" which is not even in the scope types table.

Does this API take users as a parameter in body? Or is there any other way to give sharing link permissions to specific users.

Hi @Ayush Jain,

You can specify the corresponding user in the body, like this:

{
    "type": "view",
    "scope": "users",
    "recipients": [
        {
            "objectId": "Someone's objectId"
        },
        {
            "objectId": "Someone's objectId"
        }
    ]
}

The response is as follows:
