API Endpoint for fetching 'Session Sharing Permission Level'
Bansuri Gupta
Tyro
I would like to request Panopto API endpoint that would allow customers to retrieve session sharing permissions and access levels. Specifically, we are looking for an API endpoint that exposes details such as session visibility, users/groups with access, and their assigned permission levels. This capability would greatly support governance, compliance auditing, reporting, and automation use cases across our organization.
We were able to fetch the below fields using API but not able to find for 'Sharing permission Level'
- Session Name
- Session ID
- Session/Video URL
- Folder Name & Folder ID
- Session Length
- Creation Date
- Creator Name, Creator ID, and Email
Additionally, could you please let us know if this feature is currently on your roadmap and, if not, provide a rough estimate of the effort or timeline required to implement it?
Do refer - Case number 01019986.

If I'm understanding the request correctly, I believe this should be (mostly) something that can be done via the REST API today.
For viewer access, that can be added at the folder and video level, so to get a complete picture you'd need to touch each video to gather the specific permissions for that asset. I would also touch each folder to be able to call out things that differ and how they differ (if that's a valuable data point to you).
Because you can only add "Creator" access at the folder level, you only need to touch the folder, but since you already need to touch both to get the viewer roles, that's not an important distinction IMO.
The only missing part of the picture today is the Department and Site roles that can give Creator or Viewer like access, but I'm personally switching these to use AD groups on my tenant wherever possible so I'm able to get to that data in another way. This doesn't account for custom roles (if you've added any of those) which could give Creator or Viewer like access to videos but I'm not sure how "Complete" of a picture you're looking for, so I'm not sure how important that would be.
Video Permissions:
Folder Permissions:
Department/Site Permissions: This one isn't currently available via any API at the moment, as far as I'm aware.
Personally, I'd like for this data to be added to the Knowledge Insights Data Connector so we don't have to scrape it nightly, but that's not something that is included in that data today.
