I'm currently building a document control/approval system within a Sharepoint Document Library that interacts with a Power Automate workflow by pressing a button in a column. One of the requirements is that the client would want the document to be only editable by certain users during the flow. I have sketched out this scenario:
The reviewer and approver are set in columns by the creator before the document is sent by pressing a button in a column. This starts the workflow:
The flow works as intended but I haven't implemented the requirement about the edit permissions yet as I'm a bit stuck on the implementation.
I looked at the following during my own research:
Sharepoint check in and out functionality: this does not seem to be tied to certain users such as the reviewer/approver email
Sharepoint HTTP request to make the document read only: this seems to make the whole document just read only
I noticed that the Word editor itself has the following properties:
Is it possible to change this state of the document during the workflow?
Would love to hear your suggestions!
