Hi All,

I have requirement to design a flow which will change the permissions of all the security groups present inside the folder to read/view only.

Currently I have a folder "A" which has 3 security groups :

Security group 1---Full control

Security group 2---Contribute

Security group 3---Contribute

Now I want to create a flow which will change these 3 permissions to View only

Security group 1---Read

Security group 2---Read

Security group 3---Read

Please help!!

@PowerUser0 you can use "Grant access to an item or a folder" action and do this. Check this out

Hi @jinivthakkar

This is not working for me because I do not know the the names of security groups so I can not enter anything in recipient column, I want that flow should find out what all security groups are present in the folder and change there permission level to View only

@PowerUser0 this end point will give you all principal ids of groups and users

_api/lists/getByTitle('DISPLAYNAME)/items(ITEMID)/roleassignments
Example
_api/lists/getByTitle('Documents')/items(42)/roleassignments

Get group name and pass it to change permission action

Thanks for your help! it works for me!
But I also used Parse json which will filter out the principle id's of all the security groups.
