Hi,

I am trying to remove permission from a folder in document library using HTTP. I have tried these two commands.

_api/web/GetFolderByServerRelativeUrl('url')/ListItemAllFields/breakroleinheritance(true)

_api/web/GetFolderByServerRelativeUrl('url')/ListItemAllFields/breakroleinheritance(copyRoleAssignments=true,clearSubscopes=true)

But the flow is keep running and its showing retries and in the end it says bad gateway. I am putting the URL of a folder in a string variable and then passing it in the flow.

Folder URL

Each user has their own folder and folders are created on runtime. My requirement is to remove all permission on a folder and then assign the relevant user to it.

Bad gateway errors are generally a communication error. You may want to review your syntax - Working with folders and files with REST | Microsoft Docs. Have you tried verifying your URI syntax via an API test call?

I always verify my API calls in VS Code with the REST Client Extension before adding them to a Flow. Also, the run error messages should give you some further insights of where the issue lies.

If you could provide an expanded screenshot of your Flow and steps, your Flow run history, and of any detailed error messages you're receiving we could likely better assist you. Also, for the best results, you may want to review How to write a good forum post.

@Brad_Groux Thanks for your answer. I will verify the api call but I would like to know is this the correct api for breaking inheritance of folders in document library?

_api/web/GetFolderByServerRelativeUrl('url')/ListItemAllFields/breakroleinheritance(true) _api/web/GetFolderByServerRelativeUrl('url')/ListItemAllFields/breakroleinheritance(copyRoleAssignments=true,clearSubscopes=true)
Here is the error description.

/_api/web/GetFolderByServerRelativeUrl('"+folderRelativeUrl+"')/ListItemAllFields/breakroleinheritance(true)

Yes, that is the correct syntax according to the SharePoint REST API documentation.
