Namespace: microsoft.graph

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.

Update the properties of a printer share. This method can be used to swap printers.

For example, if a physical printer device breaks, an administrator can register a new printer device and update this printerShare to point to the new printer without requiring users to take any action.

This API is available in the following national cloud deployments.

Global service	US Government L4	US Government L5 (DOD)	China operated by 21Vianet
✅	✅	✅	❌

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)	PrinterShare.ReadWrite.All	Not available.
Delegated (personal Microsoft account)	Not supported.	Not supported.
Application	Not supported.	Not supported.

HTTP request

PATCH /print/shares/{id}

Request headers

Name	Description
Authorization	Bearer {token}. Required. Learn more about authentication and authorization.
Content-type	application/json. Required.

Request body

In the request body, supply the values for relevant printerShare fields to be updated. Existing properties that aren't included in the request body maintain their previous values or are recalculated based on changes to other property values. For best performance, don't include existing values that haven't changed.

The following table lists the properties that can be updated.

Property	Type	Description
printer	microsoft.graph.printer	The printer that this printer share is related to. Use the `printer@odata.bind` syntax as shown in the following example to update which printer this printer share is associated with.
displayName	String	The name of the printer share that print clients should display.
allowAllUsers	Boolean	If `true`, all users and groups are granted access to this printer share. This property supersedes the allow lists defined by the allowedUsers and allowedGroups navigation properties.

Note

If the printer property is updated, other properties can't be updated in the same request.

Response

If successful, this method returns a 200 OK response code and an updated printerShare object in the response body.

Important

Microsoft Graph SDKs use the v1.0 version of the API by default, and do not support all the types, properties, and APIs available in the beta version. For details about accessing the beta API with the SDK, see Use the Microsoft Graph SDKs with the beta API.

For details about how to add the SDK to your project and create an authProvider instance, see the SDK documentation.
