Is there a way, using the Graph API to create the same kind of link as you would if in SharePoint, you select Copy Link and then "People with existing access"?
I was reading through the documentation of for Create a sharing link for a DriveItem and it seems like you have to set the type of the link, which I don't want to do. I want it to inherit the permissions that have already been set. And it also seems like the only options for the scope don't describe my use case.
You should be able to set the scope value to existing access:
|existingAccess|Only people who have already been granted access to the item through other means can access the item using this link. Only available in OneDrive for Business and SharePoint.|
We have Microsoft 365 Business Standard, which includes SharePoint. However, when I try the route sites/{SITE_ID}/drive/items/{DRIVE_ITEM_ID}/createLink with the request body { "scope": "existingAccess" } I receive an error "Not a valid Role input". However, I don't want to set the type since I want it to use existing access.
I have also tried with the request body { "scope": "existingAccess", "type": "view" } just to see if that worked, and received the error "Not a valid Scope input".
Do you know what my request should look like to receive a link? Or if we even have access to that scope base on our Product?

I've tried this with the following parameters
{
"scope": "existingAccess",
"type":"view"
}
but get an error
"code": "invalidRequest",
"message": "Not a valid Scope input",
Therefore I think it is not possible to get an existing access link by this way or do I miss something?
Oh, did not see that there was already a comment about that before I post
