Access to sharing permissions

The permissions collection includes potentially sensitive information and may not be available for every caller.

• For the owner of the item, all sharing permissions will be returned. This includes co-owners.
• For a non-owner caller, only the sharing permissions that apply to the caller are returned.
• Sharing permission properties that contain secrets (e.g. shareId and webUrl) are only returned for callers that are able to create the sharing permission.

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	Files.Read.All, Files.ReadWrite, Files.ReadWrite.All, Sites.Read.All, Sites.ReadWrite.All
Delegated (personal Microsoft account)	Files.Read	Files.Read.All, Files.ReadWrite, Files.ReadWrite.All
Application	Files.Read.All	Files.ReadWrite.All, Sites.Read.All, Sites.ReadWrite.All

HTTP request

GET /drives/{drive-id}/items/{item-id}/permissions
GET /groups/{group-id}/drive/items/{item-id}/permissions
GET /me/drive/items/{item-id}/permissions
GET /me/drive/root:/{path}:/permissions
GET /sites/{siteId}/drive/items/{itemId}/permissions

Optional query parameters

This method supports the $select OData Query Parameters to customize the response.

Request headers

Name	Description
Authorization	Bearer {token}. Required. Learn more about authentication and authorization.
Content-Type	application/json. Required.
if-none-match	String. If this request header is included and the etag provided matches the current etag on the item, an HTTP 304 Not Modified response is returned.

Response

If successful, this method returns a 200 OK response code and collection of Permission resources in the response body.

Effective sharing permissions of a DriveItem can come from two sources:

• Sharing permissions applied directly on the DriveItem itself
• Sharing permissions inherited from the DriveItem'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.

Example

This example retrieves the collection of permissions on an item in the signed in user's drive.

Remarks

The permissions relationship of DriveItem cannot be expanded as part of a call to get DriveItem or a collection of DriveItems. You must access the permissions property directly.
