Permissions required for /invite endpoint vs /createLink in Sharepoint via Graph API

Question

I can create a sharing link via the POST /sites/{siteId}/drive/items/{itemId}/createLink endpoint, which works correctly. This allows editing by all members of our organization with the link however, whereas I would like only for specific users to be able to do so.

When I attempt to use the POST /sites/{siteId}/drive/items/{itemId}/invite endpoint, which appears to accomplish what I am after, I receive a 403 response with the following message:

{'code': 'notAllowed', 'message': 'The feature has been disabled. Please contact your admin to get it enabled.'}

Is anyone able to point me to the correct configuration that will enable me to use this endpoint? I am able to perform this action in the UI, so do not believe it to be an issue with settings on the site itself. I am also confused as to why I am able to share with the entire organization, but not specific members!

Kind regards,

Christopher Wilson

Hi @Christopher Wilson ,

Try to set requireSignIn parameter to true in the body as the below, check if it works for you.

{  
    "requireSignIn": true,  
    "sendInvitation": true,  
    "roles": [  
        "write"  
    ],  
    "recipients": [  
        {  
            "email": "******@contoso.onmicrosoft.com"  
        }  
    ],  
    "message": "test message"  
}
