Known Issues
- Only organizational users can update the role if the Share Type is invite. When an anonymous user attempts to update the role, the Snap throws a 400 error.
- Only anonymous users can update the expiry date if the Share Type is link. When an organizational user attempts to update the expiry date, the Snap throws a 400 error.
Known Issues
Snaps in the Microsoft OneDrive Snap Pack have an in-built retry mechanism for failing retrying failed connections and requests; but, a high volume of requests from a client might reach the throttling threshold. In such scenarios, the Microsoft Graph limits further requests from that client for a period of time and returns an HTTP status code 429 (Too many requests), thereby causing the requests to fail. Hence, we recommend you to keep a check on the number of requests emanating from your client instance.

Examples
Working with Share Permissions (Share Type: Link) in OneDrive
This Pipeline demonstrates how you can share permissions to an anonymous user through a link option. We assume that you have configured your Azure application and the Snap accounts. The Pipeline uses the following parameters.
We start with configuring a JSON Generator Snap by providing input text, which generates a new JSON as a document for the downstream Snap. Next, we configure the JSON Formatter Snap that reads the passed on document stream and writes the JSON binary data to output.
Then, we upload a file processed from the previous Snaps using Upload File Snap, and configure the fields accordingly.
Upon execution, we find the upload confirmation details in the output.
Now we create a link for a file using Share Item Snap with appropriate inputs.
Upon execution we find the output as below.
Finally, we configure the Update Share Permissions Snap with the required inputs and set an expiry date and time for the link.
Upon execution we have an output with updated expiry Date and Time for the shared link.
Working with Share Permissions in OneDrive
This Pipeline demonstrates how you can share an item and how we can get/update/delete the share permissions existing on a drive item. It assumes that you have configured your Azure application and the Snap accounts already. The Pipeline uses the following parameters.
...
We start with creating a new folder using the Create Folder Snap and then, share it with a recipient using Share Item Snap. Next, we update the share permissions for the item and delete them after use.
| Create Folder Snap |
|---|
 |
| Output |
 |
To share the item, we need to define the type of share, the recipients, roles, scope of share, expiry period, and so on, depending on our need. If you have selected the Share Type as Invite, you can update the share permissions on the item later.
Share Item Snap | Output |
|---|---|
|  |
After sharing the item, we use a Mapper to extract the Permission ID and the path of the shared item.
| Mapper Snap |
|---|
|
| Output |
|---|
 |
We pass this information to the Get Share Permissions Snap to fetch all the existing shared permissions on this folder (including the inherited share permissions).
| Get Share Permissions Snap |
|---|
|
| Output |
 |
Now, we pass these permission Ids retrieved to Update Shared Permissions Snap to change the permissions from read to write.
| Update Shared Permissions Snap |
|---|
|
| Output |
 |
Using the Update Share Permissions Snap, we have updated all the existing share permissions to write access on the driveItem. We can now retrieve these permissions and delete them as and when needed. To do this, we use another Mapper Snap to capture the updated permission IDs, relative paths and delete them using the Delete Share Permissions Snap.
| Mapper Snap |
|---|
|
| Output |
|---|
 |
| Delete Shared Permissions Snap |
|---|
 |
| Output |
 |
This Snap deletes the share permissions on the driveItem and displays the result of the operation for each permission ID.
