Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action

Why this helps
Access can outlast a file's original purpose, while permission checks are easy to postpone.
- Make access review a recurring task.
- Bring permission details into a readable run report.
- Give owners a clear prompt to investigate unexpected access.
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 access review.
- 3Describe: use the agreed Borneo review context to identify relevant Drive files, list their permissions, and report access that needs human review.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test on one known file and compare the report with its current permissions.
Questions about this workflow
Does this workflow revoke suspicious access?
No. It lists permissions and reports them for review. Use a separate permission action after the intended change is clear.
Can it tell whether every listed person still needs access?
Not from permissions alone. Provide an access policy or owner context if you want Notis to assess whether access appears unexpected.
