Error Calling Microsoft Graph API - assignSensitivityLabel

Question

Hello, I'm trying to call the assignSensitivityLabel API, but getting the error response below. We have sensitivity labels published and we can set them up in excel docs. Also I can use the API call extractSensitivityLabels but couldn't yet make assignSensitivityLabel to work for some reason.https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/driveitem-assignsensitivitylabel Any ideas to help investigating?

Error: 422, {"error":{"code":"notSupported","message":"Sensitivity label cannot be assigned due to unsupported feature.","innerError":{"code":"unprocessableEntity"}}}

@Karam Thank you for reaching out to us, As I understand you are assigning a label to the excel docs via assignSensitivityLabel API.

Reviewed this documentation which you shared - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/driveitem-assignsensitivitylabel?view=graph-rest-1.0&tabs=http its mentioned this API is part of Microsoft SharePoint and OneDrive APIs that perform advanced premium administrative functions, that could be the reason why you are unable to leverage on excel, try to perform the similar task for the SharePoint and can check if it is getting applied or not.

Let me know if you have any further questions, feel free to post back.
