Manage Permissions Syntax

When using the ManagePermissions operation, permissions must be provided as a JSON string representing a list of permission objects.

Each permission object can contain the following properties:

Property Type Description
type string The type of grantee. Common values: "user", "group", "domain", "anyone".
role string The permission role. Typical roles include "owner", "organizer", "fileOrganizer", "writer", "commenter", "reader".
emailAddress string? Email address of the user or group (required if type is "user" or "group").
domain string? The domain to which the permission applies (required if type is "domain").
allowFileDiscovery boolean? Indicates whether the file is discoverable by search within the domain or public (only valid if type is "domain" or "anyone").

Example JSON

[
{
"type": "user",
"role": "reader",
"emailAddress": "user@example.com"
},
{
"type": "domain",
"role": "writer",
"domain": "example.com",
"allowFileDiscovery": false
}
]

The node will replace all existing permissions (except owners) with the provided list.

Remarks
