Examples
The examples assume that you have configured & authorized a valid Box account (see Configuring Box Accounts) to be used with this Snap. The following examples show how to add a collaborator to and then delete the same collaborator from a Box folder.
The following Box Permissions Snap adds a collaborator with the email ID girish.mahadevan@Snaplogic.com to a box folder with the folder ID 2793596227. The collaborator is assigned an editor role.
After a successful validation of the Snap, you will see a data preview that shows details of the new collaborator:
Note: After adding a collaborator, the Box user account that is added as a collaborator must accept the collaboration to start using the Box folder.
Similarly, you can use the Box Permissions Snap to remove a collaborator. To remove the girish.mahadevan@Snaplogic.com collaborator, you must specify the correct collaborator account ID and role else the remove collaboration process gives an error "No collaboration found":
After a successful validation of the Snap, you will see a data preview that shows details of the deleted collaborator:
