Posted on by irene 8

Hi, 

l am struggling with ms flow,

l give contribute permissions to list item to specific user and it works ok, then based on a condition, l break inheritance to list item and change role permission to that user but the role permission does not work, it appends the new permission(Read) to the one i gave before(Contribute).

Any idea pls, 

BR,

    Hi @irene ,

    I have checked this issue in the SharePoint.

    As the picture shown, the user permission is Check box.

    So if you want to change role permission, you need remove the original permission at the same time.
