HTTP Request to SharePoint - different output

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by GG_GG

HI,
I have a problem with an HTTP request to sharepoint in my flow.
The HTTP request must extract users with read rights on my subsite

The request is the following:

https://TEST.sharepoint.com/sites/ROOT/SITE/SUBSITE/_api/Web/RoleDefinitions?$filter=(Name eq 'Read') .

 

If I make this request there are no problems.
If it is done by a user who has the same permissions as me, the result of the body is empty.

The Flow was shared with the user in question as co-owner.

On Sharepoint the user has full control because he is in the SP Admin group.

I assume it's a permission related problem...

What are the checks I can do to understand the difference in output?

 

Does anyone have any ideas to help me?

Thanks in advance

    @GG_GG ,


    Using a tool like Postman or a browser can you ask the user to make the HTTP request (GET request) to https://TEST.sharepoint.com/sites/ROOT/SITE/SUBSITE/_api/Web/RoleDefinitions?$filter=(Name eq 'Read')

     

    Do you see the same behavior? This will help you figure out if the issue lies in permissions (SP) or Flow (connection).
