Bulk Permission change in Google Drive

[Andrius Aguinaldo]

Hi, we were using Promevo and we accidentally transferred the ownership of the entire drive to an enduser. We revert it back to the correct owner but it carried over the "enduser" as an editor to all the folders and files. Is there an API or GAM bulk command that can "crawl" on all the folders and files and remove that "enduser" as an editor?

This should help.

Hi Im getting this error when running the script. 

Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "/Users/ckubota/Desktop/GetSharedWithUserDriveACLs.py", line 58, in <module>
  for row in csv.DictReader(inputFile, quotechar=QUOTE_CHAR):
 File "/usr/local/Cellar/python@3.9/3.9.2_1/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.9/lib/python3.9/csv.py", line 111, in __next__
  row = next(self.reader)
_csv.Error: line contains NUL

In the script itsself it mentions QUOTE_CHAR = '"' # Adjust as needed

What does this mean and what would the normal adjustment be here?

[Brian Kim]

Quote char needs adjustments if you made any changes to gam print commands.

What does your filelistperms.csv look like? 

Looks like you are running this on Windows. Did you make changes to line terminator?

Bryan! You are the best! Thanks man! That really helps!

The next challenge I have is, when we accidentally transferred the ownership of the entire drive to an end user: Here's the story again "Hi, we were using Promevo and we accidentally transferred the ownership of the entire drive to an enduser. We revert it back to the correct owner but it carried over the "enduser" as an editor to all the folders and files." 
It moved some of the subfolders and files to main root folder. Users now have shortcut links since some folders/files has been moved. Is there a GAM command to revert it back to where they used to be?

Only if you had a perfect record of where everything was before hand.

Hi Kim, 

When you say perfect, you mean nothing has been added/removed after the move? 
And if we do have a perfect record where everything was, is there a GAM command to put everything back to where it was?

Yes, if you have user, fileid, and file path of original position, then you can use that to reposition the files/folders. 

[Andrius Aguinaldo]

If we have about 500K worth of files and folders, how can we do a "bulk"? Any template GAM script you can suggest? 

Thank you so much!

gam can read that csv file as input for action commands.
