Actor for ACL changes made by GAM

[Google Admin]

Hi Ross,

I am running the following commands to change ACL for thousands of files within our Google Workspace instance. The ACL change looks good, however, while running the second command the actor for these changes isn't the file owner but someone else within the organisation for many of these file which is quite confusing. Do you know why the owner won't be the actor in this case?

First Command:

Extract all files with visibility "domainwithlink"

gam redirect stdout ./createsyflsharesyfl.txt multiprocess redirect stderr stdout csv shareallsyfl.csv gam user "~Owner" add drivefileacl "~id" domain "~audience" role "~permission.role" allowfilediscovery "~permission.allowFileDiscovery"

Second Command:

To change visibility from entire Org to a Target Audience.

gam redirect stdout ./createsyflsharesyflnew.txt multiprocess redirect stderr stdout csv  shareallsyfl.csv  gam user "~Owner" add drivefileacl "~id" domain "~audience" role "~permission.role" allowfilediscovery "~permission.allowFileDiscovery"

Regards.
