🔍 Code Extractor

A SharePoint entity class that provides extension methods for securable objects, enabling security-related operations on SharePoint items.

Purpose

This class serves as a wrapper for SharePoint's SP.Sharing.SecurableObjectExtensions entity type, which provides extension methods for managing security and sharing permissions on SharePoint securable objects (like lists, libraries, items, etc.). It inherits from the Entity base class and is part of the Office365 SharePoint Python SDK, allowing developers to interact with SharePoint's sharing and security APIs.

Source Code

class SecurableObjectExtensions(Entity):
    """Contains extension methods of securable object."""

    @property
    def entity_type_name(self):
        return "SP.Sharing.SecurableObjectExtensions"

Parameters

Parameter Details

__init__: Inherits constructor from Entity base class. The Entity base class typically accepts context and resource_path parameters for SharePoint API communication, though these are not explicitly defined in this subclass.

Return Value

Instantiation returns a SecurableObjectExtensions object that represents a SharePoint securable object extension entity. The entity_type_name property returns the string 'SP.Sharing.SecurableObjectExtensions', which identifies the SharePoint entity type for API operations.

Required Imports

from office365.sharepoint.entity import Entity
from office365.sharepoint.sharing.securable_object_extensions import SecurableObjectExtensions

Usage Example

from office365.sharepoint.client_context import ClientContext
from office365.sharepoint.sharing.securable_object_extensions import SecurableObjectExtensions

# Authenticate to SharePoint
ctx = ClientContext(site_url).with_credentials(user_credentials)

# Create instance (typically obtained through SharePoint API calls)
securable_ext = SecurableObjectExtensions(ctx)

# Access entity type name
entity_type = securable_ext.entity_type_name
print(entity_type)  # Output: SP.Sharing.SecurableObjectExtensions

# Note: This class is typically used internally by the SDK
# or obtained from SharePoint API responses rather than
# directly instantiated by end users

Best Practices

• This class is typically not instantiated directly by end users but rather obtained through SharePoint API operations on securable objects
• Ensure proper authentication and permissions are configured before attempting to work with securable objects
• The entity_type_name property is primarily used internally by the SDK for API communication and should not be modified
• This class serves as a base for extension methods that may be added in future versions or through inheritance
• Always work within a proper ClientContext to ensure API calls are properly authenticated and routed
• This class follows the SharePoint REST API entity model and should be used in conjunction with other office365 SDK components
