Get sharing permission for a file or folder

Namespace: microsoft.graph

Return the effective sharing permission for a particular permission resource.

Effective permissions of an item can come from two sources: permissions set directly on the item itself or permissions that are inherited from the item's ancestors.

Callers can differentiate if the permission is inherited or not by checking the inheritedFrom property. This property is an ItemReference resource referencing the ancestor that the permission is inherited from.

This API is available in the following national cloud deployments.

Remarks

The Permission resource uses facets to provide information about the kind of permission represented by the resource.

Permissions with a link facet represent sharing links created on the item. Sharing links contain a unique token that provides access to the item for anyone with the link.

Permissions with a invitation facet represent permissions added by inviting specific users or groups to have access to the file.
