Dear Experts,

Is there any API through which i can get list of all users who have access to a particular folder ( say folder1) during certain day/time ?

As i want to monitor the access in my application so if these are exposed via API's would be preferred.

Looking forward for your kind help.

Best Regards,
Prasanna

    Hi @Prasanna Jain ,

    According to my research and testing, there is no way to get list of all user who have access to a particular folder during certain day/time.

    However ,as a workaround, you can use the follow REST API to get which user have access to SharePoint folder: 

    GET    /_api/web/lists/getByTitle('ListName')/items(item-id)/RoleAssignments?$expand=Member,RoleDefinitionBindings

    OR 

    GET   /_api/web/getFolderByServerRelativeUrl('/sites/xxx/test/newfolder1')/ListItemAllFields/RoleAssignments?$expand=Member,RoleDefinitionBindings

    My test result:
