Support for breaking role inheritance on Folders #1429

Closed kgr7 closed 3 months ago

kgr7 commented 3 months ago

Describe the feature

As a SharePoint admin I can break permission inheritance and define a specific audience and permissions for any given folder in a document library. As far as I can see, this is not possible to do currently with PnP Core. It can be done for Lists but seemingly not folders.

I was wondering if there is some technical reason this isn't supported or if it has simply not been added yet. It would really help my project as we are trying to automate provisioning of sites, documents and folders.

Describe the solution you'd like

Ideally, I think I would like Folders to behave similarly to Lists which would offer more granular permission/audience control and an alternative to creating a whole other new document library.

@kgr7 : a Folder is nothing more than an List Item and we do support breaking permission inheritance for list items (see https://pnp.github.io/pnpcore/using-the-sdk/security-intro.html#breaking-permission-inheritance). Something like below snippet should work:

var source = await context.Web.GetFolderByServerRelativeUrlAsync(folder.ServerRelativeUrl, x => x.ItemCount, x => x.Folders, x => x.Files, x => x.ListItemAllFields);

await source.ListItemAllFields.BreakRoleInheritanceAsync(false, true);
