A flow to remove a specific permissions group from an item on SharePoint Library

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

Hi there,

 

I have created a flow which works brilliant so far. The final step on the flow is to remove a specific Permission group from the file that has been created.

 

I have used 'send a HTTP request to SharePoint' however it keeps failing. (image of flow and error posted below)

    Only way I can resolve this issue is to break Inheritance and add each group back to the Item apart from the one group I don't want to have access to the item.

    First you have to "break inheritance" with an HTTP request using a POST method and the following URI: 

    _api/web/lists/getByTitle(DOCUMENT LIBRARY NAME HERE)/items(ITEM ID HERE)/breakroleinheritance(true)

    Then, use an HTTP request with the "DELETE" method. You have to find the ID of the security group you want to delete. In the example above, it is 3599. The "ID" dynamic content is the item ID which is having its permissions modified.
