What is permissionId in Google API?

[Kuan Butts]

I am trying to replicate the JavaScript client library example shown onhttps://developers.google.com/drive/v2/reference/permissions/update#examples. There is a reference to permissionId. How do I get this, I've looked everywhere, and my assumption is I am missing something dead obvious.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Kuan Butts

I think the permissionId is an user identificator. For an example the user who runs api has 'permissionId' as 'me'. It means 'owner'.

You can get 'permissionId' for any user by getIdForEmail() https://developers.google.com/drive/v2/reference/permissions/getIdForEmail

Thanks much for the rapid response. My goal is to create a Fusion Table and update the share setting to "Anyone who has the link can view." Am I barking up the wrong tree by pursuing permissions? I did not see a way to modify the share settings through the Fusion Tables API specifically. Thanks again.

Kuan Butts,

It's odd... It doesn't work now. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/26761199/google-drive-api-call-to-insert-public-share-permissions-on-fusiontables-causes

Please, write a bug to googletables-feedback(a)google.com. I did it!

HI Alex,

Yeah I had a modified question related to this up on SO documenting my struggle with this API call: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/30085922/set-permissions-on-file-to-anyone-with-a-link-with-google-javascript-client-api

I also just found this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/26761199/google-drive-api-call-to-insert-public-share-permissions-on-fusiontables-causes

This seems to indicate that the problem has existed for upwards of 6 months and there has been no solution developed... That's not good news!

Looks like I found the same SO as you!

Looks like this problem also occurs with delete permissions on Google API

gapi.client.drive.permissions.delete({'fileId':'XXXXXX','permissionId':'XXXXX'}).execute(function(resp){console.log(resp)})

Kuan Butts,

Hi,

I've received an email from googletables-feedback. They're looking into the problem now.

Let's be waiting...

[Kuan Butts]

Thanks.. I as well.

I think It's very fast for Google.

Seems the trouble solved.

    var setAccess = function setAccessF() {
        gapi.client.request({
            path : '/drive/v2/files/1gwmueWpy3M-GcgNOtP2JSFiUWkC1_gtVr83KRVOJ/permissions',
            method : 'post',
            body : {
                'value' : 'anyone',
                'type' : 'anyone',
                'role' : 'reader'
            }
        }).then(opt_onFulfilled, opt_onRejected);
    }


    function opt_onRejected(e) {
        console.log(e)
    }
    function opt_onFulfilled(e) {
        console.log(e)
    }

Cheers!
