Supported methods and overview

PUT - removes (i.e. 'unshares') all collaborators from a file object/Secure Object or folder/collection (i.e. item), specified by itemId.

Note: This method takes no parameters.

Detailed description

This API endpoint removes all collaborators from either a file object or folder (including the folder's contents), specified by itemId.

The item's ID can be obtained by calling the <access-service>/api/v1/organisations/{orgId}/items API endpoint, which retrieves a list of information associated with file objects and folders that can be filtered using various 'search' criteria.

If the item's ID is a folder, then all collaborators will also be removed from every item contained within this folder; that is, any collaborators which had been set explicitly on any items contained within this folder are also removed.
