AutomatR.OneDriveApp.Activities.EditPermission
The "Edit Permission" activity in UiPath is part of the OneDrive activities package, allowing users to automate the modification of permissions (access rights) for files or folders in Microsoft OneDrive. This activity is particularly useful when it comes to managing and controlling access to shared resources within OneDrive.

How to use:
- Drag and drop the "Edit Permission" activity onto the workflow.
- Configure the properties by specifying the path of the file or folder to be edited and defining the roles or permissions to be assigned.
- Optionally, configure the delay and customize the display name.
- Execute the workflow to edit the permissions for the specified file or folder within OneDrive.
Example: Consider an example where the "Edit Permission" activity is used to grant "read" and "write" permissions to a shared document named "project_report.docx" within the "SharedDocuments" directory in OneDrive:
Edit Permission:
Display Name: "Grant Document Permissions"
Path: "/Documents/SharedDocuments/project_report.docx"
Roles: "read,write"
Result: isEditSuccessful
In this example, the activity edits the permissions for the document "project_report.docx," granting both "read" and "write" permissions. The result of the operation (success or failure) is stored in the Boolean variable "isEditSuccessful" for further handling in the workflow.
