Change permissions of a Class Notebook

If an educator leaves a school or changes classes, it is common to transfer one or more Class Notebooks to another educator.

This script will allow IT Admin to copy and transfer Class Notebook contents from the former educator's OneDrive to the new educator's OneDrive. The script will also re-trigger the provisioning and permissive API's to ensure that any relocated Class Notebook and its content, such as its Collaboration Space, Content Library, and student notebooks, are properly set up. In addition, an email with a link to open the notebook in its new location will be sent to all the students in the class .
