Microsoft graph api /drives/{drive-id}/items/{item-id}/invite does not grant permissions to the given item for the invited user

Question

The drive is a normal folder created on a sharepoint site(not a private OneDrive) with documents in the given drive-id. I can grant the given user permissions through the SharePoint UI.
When calling POST to /drives/{drive-id}/items/{item-id}/invite endpoint using Graph API explorer with this body:

{
    "recipients": [
        {
            "email": "{user-email}"
        }
    ],
    "message": "",
    "requireSignIn": true,
    "sendInvitation": false,
    "roles": [
        "write"
    ]
}

I get a response OK - 200 - 566ms with response body being:

{
    "@odata.context": "https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/$metadata#Collection(permission)",
    "value": [
        {
            "@odata.type": "#microsoft.graph.permission",
            "id": "{id}",
            "roles": [
                "write"
            ],
            "grantedTo": {
                "user": {
                    "email": "{correct-user-email}",
                    "id": "{correct-user-id}",
                    "displayName": "{correct-user-displayName}"
                }
            }
        }
    ]
}

This response contains only deprecated grantedTo without grantedToV2, and the user does not have the proper permissions for the given driveItem when I check it on SharePoint.

Hi @David Pöschl

Personal OneDrive will not return the grantedToV2 parameter
