Relinquish file membership

Hi,

I tried using the api relinquish_file_membership. for which I followed teh following:

1. create a file , shared the file with someone and then tried to relinquish_file_memebrship howwver I get the error "The member doesn’t have access to the file"

2. Someone else created the file and shared the file with me. Now, I treid the same API to relinquish file memebership, in which case I get teh error "You don’t have permission to perform this action."

Could you pelase let me know when and how does relinquish file membership works.

1. The /2/sharing/relinquish_file_membership endpoint is meant for giving up access to a file that has been shared with you. If it's a file you own (i.e., it's in your account), you can't do so.

2. If the endpoint isn't working as expected for a member, please share the code and full output of /2/sharing/relinquish_file_membership, /2/sharing/list_file_members, and /2/users/get_current_account to help sort it out.
