Graph List permissions endpoint returns 403

Question

I am trying to make a request to graph drive item and drive item permissions

GET /drive/items/{item-id}/permissions

The request to get driveitem succeeds but the permissions one fails with 403. Are there special permissions for this endpoint?

Answer 1

To make a request for Graph drive items and drive item permissions, you'll need to use Microsoft Graph API. You can utilize the following endpoints:

1. To get drive items:
   • Use GET /me/drive/items/{item-id} to retrieve details of a specific drive item.
   • Use GET /me/drive/root/children to list all items in the root directory.
2. To manage permissions:
   • Use GET /me/drive/items/{item-id}/permissions to fetch permissions for a specific drive item.
   • You can also use POST /me/drive/items/{item-id}/invite to share the item and set permissions.

Make sure to authenticate your requests with the necessary permissions (like Files.Read, Files.ReadWrite) in your access token.

Hi @Muthomi Mate

This is because you lack the necessary permissions. Before that, try giving one of the following permissions to the calling app.

Hope this helps.
