Can anyone help? I'm trying to clean up handling permission matches for non-inherited permissions
on My Drives and don't understand what I'm seeing in the ?????? line below.

Thanks,

Ross

Details of a My Drive
The only permissionDetail shows a non-inherited owner role; this is expected.

$ gam user testsimple show fileinfo root filepath fields id,name,mimetype,basicpermissions,permissiondetails fullpath
User: tests...@domain.com, Show 1 Drive File/Folder
Drive Folder: My Drive (0AKUt4cJyLzY4Uk9PVA)
paths: 1

mimeType: application/vnd.google-apps.folder
name: My Drive
permissions:
displayName: TESTxSIMPLE
deleted: False
domain: domain.com
emailAddress: tests...@domain.com
id: 10834698115409744147

Details of a Document directly in the My Drive
The first permissionDetail shows an inherited writer role; where does this come from??????
The second permissionDetail shows a non-inherited owner role; this is expected.
