Permissions

Access to Google Drive functionality and configuration is controlled through permission sets. Assign permissions based on the user’s role and responsibilities.

Permission sets

  • Google Cloud Client User
    Grants access to all operational features. Only users with this permission can actively operate on Google Drive files.
  • Google Cloud Client Admin
    Grants access only to administrative and configuration features. This permission does not grant access to day-to-day file operations.
  • Google Cloud Client User & Admin (Permission Group)
    A combined permission group for users who need:
    • Full operational access to Google Drive files
    • Full administrative access to configuration and integration settings

    This is typically assigned to technical leads or system owners.

How to assign

  1. Go to Setup → Permission Sets or Permission Set Groups
  2. Assign one of the following:
    • Google Cloud Client User
    • Google Cloud Client Admin
    • Google Cloud Client User & Admin (recommended when both are required)
  3. Verify access by opening the Google Client app:
    • Users should be able to load and operate on files
    • Admins should be able to access configuration pages
