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.
