Possible Values

Data Type

string

Default Value

"REST"

Remarks

The Schema property determines which Microsoft SharePoint API the provider uses to retrieve and manage data. The available options depend on the configured SharePointEdition:

• REST — Uses the Microsoft SharePoint REST API. This schema is often recommended for newer environments and is the only supported option for Microsoft SharePoint Online.
• SOAP — Uses the Microsoft SharePoint SOAP API. This schema is available only for Microsoft SharePoint OnPremise deployments. SOAP is not supported for Microsoft SharePoint Online because Microsoft has deprecated SOAP-based access for online instances.
