For information about path naming restrictions, see Name and reference shares, directories, files, and metadata.

URI parameters

The following additional parameters may be specified on the request URI:

Parameter Description
timeout Optional. The timeout parameter is expressed in seconds. For more information, see Set time-outs for Azure Queue Storage operations.

Request headers

The required and optional request headers are described in the following table:

Request header Description
Authorization Required. Specifies the authorization scheme, storage account name, and signature. For more information, see Authorize requests to Azure Storage
Date or x-ms-date Required. Specifies the Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) for the request. For more information, see Authorize requests to Azure Storage.
x-ms-version Optional. Specifies the version of the operation to use for this request. For more information, see Versioning for the Azure Storage services.
x-ms-file-permission-key Required. The security descriptor of the permission.
x-ms-file-permission-format: { sddl ¦ binary } Optional. Version 2024-11-04 or later. The format in which the the permission should be returned. If omitted, the default value of sddl is used.
x-ms-client-request-id Optional. Provides a client-generated, opaque value with a 1-kibibyte (KiB) character limit that's recorded in the logs when logging is configured. We highly recommend that you use this header to correlate client-side activities with requests that the server receives. For more information, see Monitor Azure Files.
x-ms-file-request-intent Required if Authorization header specifies an OAuth token. Acceptable value is backup. This header specifies that the Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts/fileServices/readFileBackupSemantics/action or Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts/fileServices/writeFileBackupSemantics/action should be granted if they are included in the RBAC policy assigned to the identity that is authorized using the Authorization header. Available for version 2022-11-02 and later.

Request body

None.

Response

The response includes an HTTP status code and a set of response headers.

Status code

A successful operation returns status code 200 (OK).

For more information about status codes, see Status and error codes.

Response headers

The response for this operation includes the following headers. The response may also include additional standard HTTP headers. All standard headers conform to the HTTP/1.1 protocol specification.

Response header Description
x-ms-request-id Uniquely identifies the request that was made and can be used to troubleshoot the request.
x-ms-version The Azure Files version that was used to execute the request.
Date or x-ms-date A UTC date/time value that's generated by the service, which indicates the time when the response was initiated.
x-ms-client-request-id Can be used to troubleshoot requests and their corresponding responses. The value of this header is equal to the value of the x-ms-client-request-id header if it's present in the request and the value contains no more than 1,024 visible ASCII characters. If the x-ms-client-request-id header isn't present in the request, it won't be present in the response.

Response body

The response body is a JSON document that describes the permission.

Before version 2024-11-04, the permission is always returned in the Security Descriptor Definition Language (SDDL):

{
    "permission": "<SDDL>"
}

In version 2024-11-04 or later, the returned permission is in SDDL format by default or if explicitly requested by setting x-ms-file-permission-format to sddl in the request headers:

{
    "format": "sddl",
    "permission": "<SDDL>"
}

In version 2024-11-04 or later, the returned permission is in base64-encoded binary format if explicitly requested by setting x-ms-file-permission-format to binary in the request headers:

{
    "format": "binary",
    "permission": "<base64>"
}

Sample response

HTTP/1.1 200 OK

Response headers:
x-ms-request-id: <id>
x-ms-date: Mon, 27 Jan 2014 22:15:50 GMT  
x-ms-version: 2014-02-14  

Response body:

{"permission": "O:S-1-5-21-2127521184-1604012920-1887927527-21560751G:S-1-5-21-2127521184-1604012920-1887927527-513D:AI(A;;FA;;;SY)(A;;FA;;;BA)(A;;0x1200a9;;;S-1-5-21-397955417-626881126-188441444-3053964)" }
