Hi Darshan,

You might also need to check below permissions.

>> Administrative Permissions section---->Select Files from Salesforce checkbox.
>> 'API enabled' on profile.

Review below link for details on sing Salesforce Files.

I have these permissions with me. I am looking around which rest APIs i need to use. From File Id i am able to get file  deatils from ContentVersion. But i am not able to figure out how to get all users who has access on that file. Or if a specific user has access on that file.
