Change group permissions for multiple folders/files

[Kayata Yanase]

Hi all,

I want to change the folder and file permissions of Google Shared Drive from Group A to Group B.
I followed the steps in the Python script below, but it's taking a long time following "5: Get the ACLs of all team drive files".
There are over 10,000 shared drives. The number of folders and files is too large to obtain.
https://github.com/taers232c/GAM-Scripts3/blob/master/GetSharedWithGroupTeamDriveACLs.py

Is there a way to change the group permissions set on folders/files in a short time?
For example, is it possible to implement the following method?
1. A GAM command that allows you to get a list of folders and files to which group A has permissions, instead of getting ACLs from folders and files to check for group permissions.
2. GAM command to replace group permissions

Thank you
Kayata Yanase

Thinking a little creatively:

One thing you possibly could do is to remove everyone from group a, and then add group b as the sole member of group a. 

Maybe that’d get you where you want to be?

Cheers,

Ian

Is it the case that individual files and folders on the Shared Drives have had an ACL referencing Group A explicitly added to them

as opposed to the case where Group A is a member of the Shared Drive?

The first case is not common but is certainly possible. If this is true, then you'll have to break the 10,000 Shared Drives into sections

and process the sections.

In the second case you simply delete the Group A ACL from the Shared Drive and add the Group B ACL to the Shared Drive.

Ian and Ross
Thank you for your reply.

Group A will be deleted, so I want to migrate the permissions set for folders and files.

Yes, There are folders/files with permissions set without inheritance.


・Group A and Group B are already in operation
・I want to delete group A
・Group A and Group B have different folder and file permissions
・I want to set equivalent permissions in Group B to folders and files that have permissions set in Group A.

Is there any other way than splitting the shared drive to handle it?

Kind regards

Hi, Katyata

I am facing a similar problem.
The difference is that the target is not only the shared drive, but also the my drives.

Ias this thread been resolved?

Thanks,
