Hi all

 

Did someone test that API ?

To foul to test now, but.. is it the way that we asked, for disabling inheritance of permissions for subfolders ??

    I'm not sure I understand your question. Can you elaborate? This endpoint should change the inheritance policy of a shared folder in a team shared Dropbox. Have you tried it, and if so, did you run in to any issues with it? Thanks in advance!

      Hi

      thanks for the response

      No i did not take time to test it, but i will surely do ...

       

      My question is simple :

      Does that API permit to stop inheritance of the permissions in a folder, and thus take back permission for a group, that has been given on a high level folder.

      Example :

      Teamfolder1 - Group A and GRoupB READ PErmission

            SHFolder1 - GroupA and GROUPB Modified Permission

            Folder2 - Group A and GROUPB READ PERMISSION (inherited)

            SHFolder3 - GroupA NO PERMISSION - Group B READ PErmission (Using /set_access_inheritance, and sharing to GROUP B)

       

       

      As i wask asking around, and reading forums, i understood it was not possible to disable inheritance at all.
