Blog series - Post - Revoke permissions to a document through the API

Scenario Revoke permissions to a document through the API. Here comes the tricky part. There are 2 kind (that I found) role types on Sharepoint. Roles from the Roletypekind None (Role = 0): No permissions assigned. Guest (Role = 1): Limited access, typically read-only. Reader (Role = 2): Can view items but not make changes. Contributor (Role = 3): Can add and edit items. WebDesigner (Role = 4): Can design and manage site content. Administrator (Role = 5): Full control over the site. Role (UserRoleAssignment). View (Role = 1): Grants read-only access to the document. Edit (Role = 2): Allows the user to edit the document. Owner (Role = 3): Grants full control over the document, including the ability to manage permissions. None (Role = 0): Removes any previously assigned permissions. Step 1 - You need to have broken inheritance first, otherwise this won’t work. API call 1 - Get all the groups from Sharepoint Method: Post URI: _api/web/lists/getbytitle('@{variables('VarListname')}')/items(@{variables('VarItemID')})/UpdateDocumentSharingInfo
