I have a drive file where I need to restrict the users from these (I mean ticks for both needs to be removed and shared using apps script/drive api)
I need to accomplish using Google Apps Script Advanced Drive service or regular apps script. I am unsure what is the exact method. I have tried with
function shareit() {
DriveApp.getFileById(id).setSharing(DriveApp.Access.ANYONE_WITH_LINK, DriveApp.Permission.EDIT);
}
CodePudding user response:
Drive Sharing Permissions with App Script
I manage to make both changes by using Advance Services from App Script. I was able to use part of your code to first remove the "Editors can change permissions and share" by using the:
setShareableByEditors(false)
Code Sample:
function shareit() {
DriveApp.getFileById(id).setSharing(DriveApp.Access.ANYONE_WITH_LINK, DriveApp.Permission.EDIT).setShareableByEditors(false);
// Add advance service to be able to run a files patch and update the permissions of the ID to require writters permisions to copy, print and download.
Drive.Files.patch({copyRequiresWriterPermission:true}, id);
}
As presented in the comments you would need run a patch update to the File ID to change the permissions.
