  This post describes how to add contribute permission for a selected user id to a single item in a list using Microsoft Flow. The flow uses the REST API calls to change the permissions. The walk through uses a custom list with one columns added, Requester which is a Person column. In  Part 1  of this series we broke the inheritance on an item when is was created with our 5 step flow, which created a few variables and then used a HTTP Request to SharePoint using REST API to break the inheritance. Using the above flow as a starting point we will continue. Before we can give a permission level to a person we need to know their Id on this tenancy. This can be fetched using another HTTP Request using REST. The syntax for this is _api/web/SiteUsers/getByEmail('name@company.com') So using the Requester property of email address we update the URI-String variable and use it in with a GET method in the HTTP request.   FREE DOWNLOAD:  33 TIME-SAVING TIPS FOR MICROSOFT TEA...

  I recently came across a scenario where a client requested that when employees submit a certain HR application form (which in fact was a SharePoint Online list), the permissions needed to be removed and set in such a way that only a specific group had access to it for review and administration purposes. In other words: we had to break the default permission inheritance and set up unique permissions on list item-level. We decided to use Microsoft Flow to automate this task, see the result in the screenshot below. It mainly uses HTTP requests to the SharePoint REST API. I’m going to walk you through it so you can build and use it yourself.   Build the Flow Go to  https://flow.microsoft.com/  and log in with your Office 365 account. In this example we start with a blank canvas and build the Flow ourselves. Therefore, click the +New button and select “Automated – from blank”.   Step 1 Provide a name and select what will trigger (or start) the Flow. In our case thi...
