Hi Coda Community!

I am working on the simple client for Coda API and have an issue with using “deletePermission” endpoint.

I always receive:

```auto
    {
      "message" => "Failed to delete the specified permission.",
      "statusCode" => 400,
      "statusMessage" => "Bad Request"
    }

```

Scenario:

1. Create some test document under my Coda account.
2. Shared it with other email.
3. Check permissions:

```auto
    get("/docs/vDlXMWJqRU/acl/permissions")
    {
      "href" => "https://coda.io/apis/v1/docs/vDlXMWJqRU/acls?pageToken=eyJsaW1pdCI6MTAwLCJvZmZzZXQiOjB9",
      "items" => [
        [0] {
          "access" => "write",
          "id" => "50e032a3-0150-45e4-90c3-5ba6246c850d",
          "principal" => {
            "email" => "email@gmail.com",
            "type" => "email"
          }
        },
        }
      ]
    }

```

1. Failed to delete permissions:  
`delete("/docs/vDlXMWJqRU/acl/permissions/50e032a3-0150-45e4-90c3-5ba6246c850d")`

I also successfully added permissions with “addPermission” call, but then couldn’t delete them with the same error.

Hi @Vadym_Lvovskyi, welcome to the community!

Probably good to loop in @oleg and @JonathanGoldman

I haven’t played much with the api

Hi Vadym! Indeed, we have a bug in that endpoint, sorry for the inconvenience. We’re working on a fix, should be live within a few days.
