SharePoint File Permissions Properties and User Granting Mechanisms

Hello!

I have a requirement to fetch permissions for files stored in SharePoint. Most of my work is done, but I'm struggling to identify some properties available in the permission resource.

I need to understand how these properties can be accessed for the file from both the UI and the API context.

Here are the properties:

  • inheritedFrom - For each permission of each file, this property appears to be empty.
  • invitation - Even if I invite someone, for example, via Azure Portal, a link, or through the UI, this property is consistently missing in the permission details.

Additionally, I have a question regarding these resources: If a user, group, site group, or site user has been granted permission in relation to one of these properties, will they be added to the grantedToV2 or grantedToIdentitiesV2?

    Hi @Grzegorz Dubiel,

    Per my research, in oneDrive for Business and SharePoint document libraries will not return the inheritedFrom property. It's an expected result. You could refer to the following document for more details

    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/resources/permission?view=graph-rest-1.0

    For permission, you could use followig api

    https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/sites/{sitesId}/permissions
