Probably not, these settings are not available via a Google API, thus GAM can't help.

Where in the console do you see this setting?

It is in the Sharing settings for documents and folders. You click on the gear in the top right corner and get the checkbox. See below:

The API supports those settings for individual files; choose true or false for <Boolean>

gam user us...@domain.com update drivefile <DriveFileID> viewerscancopycontent <Boolean> writerscanshare <Boolean>

Hi Ross:

Just to confirm, it looks like copyRequiresWriterPermission is the setting name that returns from gam, but uses the opposite permission of viewerscancopycontent. Is this correct?

Thanks,

Yehuda

Yehuda,

In GAM you can use either keyword
viewercancopycontent true == copyrequireswriterpermission false
viewercancopycontent false == copyrequireswriterpermission true
