    Hi ,

     

    Thanks for your post and appreciate the question.

     

    Sadly I'm not developer but I do understand you can make this change fairly easy from the Admin Console view for groups. You should see all the appropriate folders your group has access to and there should be a drop down display menu of what groups to change permission. 

     

    This shouldn't notify your users, but will update the permissions and access to the folder at scale.

    Thanks for the reply.  I need a programmatic way to do this as I have thousands of folders and hundreds of users.

     First, you need to get the collaboration id for the group collaboration on the folder. You can do that by calling the Get Folder Collaborations endpoint. This call will return back a list of users and groups that have access to that folder, so you will need to filter for the specific group needed. Once you have the collaboration id, you can update it using the Update Collaboration endpoint and set the appropriate permission using the role parameter. Please let me know if that helps?
