Update fileStorageContainer permission

Namespace: microsoft.graph

Important

APIs under the /beta version in Microsoft Graph are subject to change. Use of these APIs in production applications is not supported. To determine whether an API is available in v1.0, use the Version selector.

Update an existing permission on a fileStorageContainer by making a PATCH request on the permission resource. Only the roles property can be updated. One role per user is supported.

This API is available in the following national cloud deployments.

Global service	US Government L4	US Government L5 (DOD)	China operated by 21Vianet
✅	✅	✅	✅

Permissions

Choose the permission or permissions marked as least privileged for this API. Use a higher privileged permission or permissions only if your app requires it. For details about delegated and application permissions, see Permission types. To learn more about these permissions, see the permissions reference.

Permission type	Least privileged permissions	Higher privileged permissions
Delegated (work or school account)	FileStorageContainer.Selected	FileStorageContainer.Manage.All
Delegated (personal Microsoft account)	FileStorageContainer.Selected	Not available.
Application	FileStorageContainer.Selected	Not available.

Note

In addition to Microsoft Graph permissions, your app must have the necessary container type-level permission or permissions to call this API. For more information, see container types. To learn more about container type-level permissions, see SharePoint Embedded authorization.

HTTP request

PATCH /storage/fileStorage/containers/{containerId}/permissions/{permissionId}
PATCH /storage/fileStorage/containers/{containerId}/permissions(email='{email}')
PATCH /storage/fileStorage/containers/{containerId}/permissions(userPrincipalName='{userPrincipalName}')

Use the {email} or {userPrincipalName} alternate key only for permissions granted to a user. Use {permissionId} for other permission types. Alternate key values are strings and must be URL-encoded if they contain characters that aren't valid in a URL.

Request headers

Important

Microsoft Graph SDKs use the v1.0 version of the API by default, and do not support all the types, properties, and APIs available in the beta version. For details about accessing the beta API with the SDK, see Use the Microsoft Graph SDKs with the beta API.
