Important

APIs under the /beta version in Microsoft Graph are subject to change. Use of these APIs in production applications is not supported. To determine whether an API is available in v1.0, use the Version selector.

Remove a retention label from a driveItem.

For information about retention labels from an administrator's perspective, see Use retention labels to manage the lifecycle of documents stored in SharePoint.

This API is available in the following national cloud deployments.

Permissions

Choose the permission or permissions marked as least privileged for this API. Use a higher privileged permission or permissions only if your app requires it. For details about delegated and application permissions, see Permission types. To learn more about these permissions, see the permissions reference.

Permission type	Least privileged permissions	Higher privileged permissions
Delegated (work or school account)	Files.Read.All	Files.ReadWrite.All, Sites.ReadWrite.All, Sites.FullControl.All
Delegated (personal Microsoft account)	Not supported.	Not supported.
Application	Files.Read.All	Files.ReadWrite.All, Sites.ReadWrite.All

Note

Sites.FullControl.All is the least privileged permission required to remove retention labels that classify the content as records.

Note

SharePoint Embedded requires the FileStorageContainer.Selected permission to access the content of the container. This permission is different from the ones mentioned previously. In addition to Microsoft Graph permissions, your app must have the necessary container type permissions to call this API. For more information, see SharePoint Embedded authentication and authorization.
