get report of folders and subfolders including given access from a Sharepoint site using power query

Hi, I am looking to create a report through power query that shows all the folders and subfolders from a sharepoint site, including the names of people I have given access to and their access rights.

You won't be able to see the names of people you have given access to and their access rights, you would have to utilize Power Automate for that. Power Query can extract folders and subfolders from a SharePoint site, but not show access to those folders unless you created complex SharePoint REST APIs at each user level

With the "Folder.Contents" command I managed to get to the first step, getting to the folder names. But I cannot access the subfolders, nor the names of the people I have given access to.

As a separate step, when I prepare a power query with get data from sharepoint online list, I got to the subfolders and the names of the people using the "title" and "RoleAssignments.Member.Title."

I was hoping that both steps could be somehow combined by using List.Generate or so...

How about using the Folder.Files() function then grouping the table on the "Folder Path" column?

let
    Source = Folder.Files("/folder/path/goes/here"),
    Folders = Table.Group(Source, {"Folder Path"}, {{"Folder", each _}}),
    Result = Table.RemoveColumns(Folders,{"Folder"})
in
    Result

I cannot provide any help on the second part as I have no experience in SharePoint. That would be great to see your solution as well. If you can retrieve the folders and users in another query then I think you can combine two queries (join) on the folder path to get the result you need.
