Google Drive Permissions Changes

Depending on the Google Drive policy configured by the administrator, Avanan takes action (quarantine, remove permissions) on the files uploaded to Google Drive.

Avanan uses different users to take these actions depending on whether the Drive containing the file has an owner.

• If Google Drive has an owner, Avanan takes the action on behalf of the owner.

• If Google Drive does not have an owner, Avanan follows this procedure:

  1. Avanan adds the Super Admin user as an owner of the Drive.

  2. Avanan uses the Super Admin user to take the necessary action on the file.

  3. Avanan removes the Super Admin user from being the owner of the Drive.
