- Turn a clear decision into a focused permission update.
- Keep the change associated with its review context.
- Reduce manual permission editing.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Borneo and Google Drive once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name the permission update workflow.
- 3Describe: only when this request includes an explicit Borneo-backed access decision, update the specified existing Drive permission and report the result.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one approved permission change and verify the resulting access.
Questions about this workflow
Can this decide what permission a person should have?
No. The request should state the approved access decision and identify the existing permission to update.
What if the permission id is unknown?
Use a permission listing or provide enough information to identify it before running the update.
