When taking a removal action using the GAT+ to strip away sharing permissions (modifying ACL) of a file or folder within a Shared Drive, you must ask the following questions:įor the selected file, is this user a guest within the ACL or are they an inherited member from the root folder above? If they are members then you need to strip away their membership first.

Members are declared at the topmost root folder. There are 2 types of access control for Shared Drives and their files:Īny user who is added to a file or folder within a Shared Drive who has not been declared as a member will be considered as a Guest. Access control lists (ACL) of a Shared Drive are different from regular files and folders created in the myDrive of a user.

It is important to know how their membership and access control are managed.

Shared Drives are increasingly becoming more utilized in collaborative online work between colleagues and customers using Google Workspace.
