Adding item level permissions to a people picker value in a SharePoint Library

Hi All,

How would I give edit permissions to a newly created item for a user chosen within a people picker column, for that item?

I'm fairly comfortable with HTTP requests now with help from others on here, but now need to understand how to get the people picker value and apply that.

Regards,

Hello @Anonymous

You can access to the people picker column email field, and use it to grant permissions. Have a look at this example:

In the TimeSheet list there's a people picker column named Employee, so I can read its email when an item is created.

Hope it helps!

Hi @Anonymous

If you accessing these from a different list then you need the following JSON schema to iterate the values.

{

    "type": "array",

    "items": {

        "type": "object",

        "properties": {

            "@@odata.type": {

                "type": "string"

            },

            "Claims": {

                "type": "string"

            },

            "DisplayName": {

                "type": "string"

            },

            "Email": {

                "type": "string"

            },

            "Picture": {

                "type": "string"

            },

            "Department": {},

            "JobTitle": {}

        },

        "required": [

            "@@odata.type",

            "Claims",

            "DisplayName",

            "Email",

            "Picture",

            "Department",

            "JobTitle"

        ]

    }

}

Thanks

Hi @Anonymous Please follow the steps below for multiple users in the people picker field.

Initialize the 'Users' variable to store all the email addresses.

Initialize another variable to store the ';' separated email addresses

Pass the above-declared variable to the below action

You can also use the 'Grant access' action inside the 'Apply to each' which will increase the transaction calls to 'SharePoint'. To reduce that, try to use the above steps.

Hope it helps, please like it or mark it as a solution if it resolves your clarification or issue
