Error message when trying to break inheritance for a list item in SharePoint

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by U1EMOHAI

Hi All, 

 

I am using the send HTTP request in PowerAutomate to break the permission inheritance for a specific item in a SharePoint list.

 

But I am getting an error:

 

The expression "lists/getByTitle(‘PowerAutomateTEST2’)/items(2)/breakroleinheritance(copyRoleAssignments=false,clearSubscopes=true)" is not valid.

 

Please find attached screenshots.

 

what might be the issue here? can you please help? This is a bit urgent for me!

 

thank you!

    Note: I also tried: 

    _api/lists/getByTitle(‘ListTitle’)/items(ID)/breakroleinheritance(copyRoleAssignments=false,clearSubscopes=true)

    (Your "ID" needs to be in 's as well - ie, '12'. If you use dynamic content, then your dynamic content should be between the 's)
