how to grant permissions to SharePoint group

What doesn't show?

Here is a script sample where you can use the method "addroleassignment". You must set the roledefid for your desired permission.

function setPermissionForGroup(){

$.ajax({

url: _spPageContextInfo.webAbsoluteUrl + “/_api/web/roleassignments/addroleassignment(principalid=Enter Group Id, roledefid=1073741827)",

type: "POST",

contentType: "application/json;odata=verbose",

headers: { "Accept": "application/json; odata=verbose","X-RequestDigest": $("#__REQUESTDIGEST").val(),"X-HTTP-Method": "POST" },

success: function (data) { // Returning the results alert('Contribute permission set on group'); },

error: function (data) { alert("Error: " + JSON.stringify(data)); } }); });

Here is a list of roles:

1073741829, Full Control

1073741827, Contribute

1073741826, Read

You can make the REST call on your workflow.

You can use the AddPermission web method in the Permissions.asmx web service.
