SetPermissions for file sharing on OneDrive / OneDrive For business? - onedrive

Question

Can you advise??
I am trying to programmatically insert file permissions in OneDrive , OneDrive for business, SharePoint Online, not unlike how you can do it on Google Drive.
ie: https://developers.google.com/drive/v2/reference/permissions/insert
I cannot locate a OneDrive API scope/method to use to insert file permissions? (in effect to programmatically share a file). Does anyone happen to know if this is possible, and if so which scope/method to use? I assume its something such as SetPermission?
I am aware that you can get a link via the 'wl.skydrive' scope within OneDrive API although it is unclear as to whether there are any permissions added ?
Thank you in advance

Answer 1

The closest analog is shared edit and shared read links:

Answer 2

If you are building a SharePoint app, you might want to try using the SPRoleAssignment class, which might also work for OneDrive for Business:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/microsoft.sharepoint.sproleassignment(v=office.15).aspx
Basically, you create a group, add permissions level, and then assign that to an item.
You can also use the UpdateDocumentSharingInfo method (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/microsoft.sharepoint.client.sharing.documentsharingmanager.updatedocumentsharinginfo(v=office.15).aspx) from the DocumentSharingManager class to share internal files in OneDrive for Business.
Here’s how to make the call:
DocumentSharingManager.UpdateDocumentSharingInfo(
_ctx,
_resourceURL,
new List() { _newRoleAssignment },
validateExistingPermissions: true,
additiveMode: true,
sendServerManagedNotification: false,
customMessage: null,
includeAnonymousLinksInNotification: false);
_ctx.ExecuteQuery();
