Delete permissions

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.

Delete permissions from a fileStorageContainer object.

By default, this API removes access for an identity to the container and all items within the container, regardless of whether the identity has container-scoped or item-level permissions. You can add an optional Prefer: onlyRemoveContainerScopedPermission header when you call the API if only the identity's container-scoped permissions need to be removed. All item-level permissions explicitly granted to the identity (if any) are retained.

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.
