Review account users after a Drive file is shared

Pair a sensitive file share with a quick check of who can manage network policy.

Trigger

File Shared (Permissions Added)

Triggers when new sharing permissions are granted to a file or folder. Uses Drive's `changes.list` endpoint with inline `permissions` in the `fields` mask so each change carries the file's current permission set provider-atomically. We diff that against `seen_permission_keys` to identify newly added grants. Drive page tokens are the primary cursor; if Drive rejects a stored token, the trigger raises `PollingTriggerError` without clearing state rather than silently re-baselining and dropping events. Limitation: truly ephemeral permissions (added and revoked between two polls without any other file modification in between) are not detected. Drive Activity API would catch those but requires an additional OAuth scope and a different payload contract.

Action

Get Users

Tool to retrieve user account data. Use when you need account details after authentication.

Why this helps

Access changes in shared files can happen without a corresponding review of administrative access.

  • Surfaces access changes quickly
  • Supports lightweight security reviews
  • Keeps reports in one channel
