OneDrive permission list api is providing incorrect data. API: GET /drives/{drive-id}/items/{item-id}/permissions

https://free.blessedness.top/en-us/onedrive/developer/rest-api/api/driveitem_list_permissions?view=o…

for internally shared files (shared within organization) the scope for link is coming as anonymous but according to their official api documentation for internally shared files the scope should be organization.
