SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Manually sharing Google Drive folders with multiple team members through the web UI is repetitive and error-prone, especially when different collaborators need different permission levels. This recipe automates the process of locating a folder and granting editor or viewer access to a list of collaborators via the command line. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Folder Discovery: Locate a Google Drive folder by name using the gws drive files list command with a query filter. - Role-Based Sharing: Grant writer (editor) or reader (viewer) permissions to specific email addresses using gws drive permissions create. - Permission Verification: Confirm the applied sharing settings with a formatted table of current permissions. - Use Case: A project manager needs to give the engineering team edit access and stakeholders view access to the "Project X" folder; this recipe runs the exact sequence of gws commands to do so. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to share the Google Drive folder named Project X with your team, giving editors write access and stakeholders read access.
