.net - Microsoft Graph API Get all Permissions for library

Question

I am trying to get all the permissions list for the library. But it looks different from what I see on UI part and what I retrieve using Microsoft Graph.

 var permissions = graphClient.Drives[drive.Id].Root.Permissions.Request().GetAsync();

It returns a list of permissions. But for the library, we have users and groups who has "Limited access".

If i will loop for each item in the library and take permissions for each of them in a result list will be not full also. Do someone know how solved it?

Answer 1

Unfortunately, you will not be able to get the permissions at higher level - you will have to go through each item and get a unique permission at the item level and then gather the list.

You mentioned that , you may not be able to get the full list - I could think of edge that will cause this.

/sites/{siteId}/drive/items/{itemId}/permissions

Alternatively, if you like to know all the users - at the site level - you can query the User information list using the Sharepoint ReST API.

   _api/Web/lists/getbytitle('User Information List')/getitems

You could filter for all active users - this will not provide the permisssions possesed by them - but gives a list of users added to the site.
