Schemas

Gets a permission by ID For more information, see Share files, folders, and drives (https: developers google com workspace drive api guides manage-sharing) — response body

Field	Type	Presence	Description and constraints
$	object	Root	A permission for a file. A permission grants a user, group, domain, or the world access to a file or a folder hierarchy. For more information, see [Share files, folders, and drives](https://developers.google.com/workspace/drive/api/guides/manage-sharing). By default, permission requests only return a subset of fields. Permission `kind`, `ID`, `type`, and `role` are always returned. To retrieve specific fields, see [Return specific fields](https://developers.google.com/workspace/drive/api/guides/fields-parameter). Some resource methods (such as `permissions.update`) require a `permissionId`. Use the `permissions.list` method to retrieve the ID for a file, folder, or shared drive.
allowFileDiscovery	boolean	Optional	Whether the permission allows the file to be discovered through search. This is only applicable for permissions of type `domain` or `anyone`.
deleted	boolean	Optional	Output only. Whether the account associated with this permission has been deleted. This field only pertains to permissions of type `user` or `group`.
displayName	string	Optional	Output only. The "pretty" name of the value of the permission. The following is a list of examples for each type of permission: * `user` - User's full name, as defined for their Google Account, such as "Dana A." * `group` - Name of the Google Group, such as "The Company Administrators." * `domain` - String domain name, such as "cymbalgroup.com." * `anyone` - No `displayName` is present.
domain	string	Optional	Output only. The domain to which this permission refers. Read only: true
emailAddress	string	Optional	Output only. The email address of the user or group to which this permission refers. Read only: true
expirationTime	string	Optional	The time at which this permission will expire (RFC 3339 date-time). Expiration times have the following restrictions: - They can only be set on user and group permissions - The time must be in the future - The time cannot be more than a year in the future Format: date-time
id	string	Optional	Output only. The ID of this permission. This is a unique identifier for the grantee, and is published in the [User resource](https://developers.google.com/workspace/drive/api/reference/rest/v3/User) as `permissionId`. IDs should be treated as opaque values.
inheritedPermissionsDisabled	boolean	Optional	When `true`, only organizers, owners, and users with permissions added directly on the item can access it.
kind	string	Optional	Output only. Identifies what kind of resource this is. Value: the fixed string `"drive#permission"`. Default: drive#permission
pendingOwner	boolean	Optional	Whether the account associated with this permission is a pending owner. Only populated for permissions of type `user` for files that aren't in a shared drive.
permissionDetails	array	Optional	Output only. Details of whether the permissions on this item are inherited or are directly on this item. Read only: true
permissionDetails[]	Model	Each item	Expand Gets a permission by ID For more information, see Share files, folders, and drives (https: developers google com workspace drive api guides manage-sharing) — response body — permission Details item
photoLink	string	Optional	Output only. A link to the user's profile photo, if available.
role	string	Optional	The role granted by this permission. Supported values include: * `owner` * `organizer` * `fileOrganizer` * `writer` * `commenter` * `reader` For more information, see [Roles and permissions](https://developers.google.com/workspace/drive/api/guides/ref-roles).

type	string	Optional	The type of the grantee. Supported values include: * `user` * `group` * `domain` * `anyone` When creating a permission, if `type` is `user` or `group`, you must provide an `emailAddress` for the user or group. If `type` is `domain`, you must provide a `domain`. If `type` is `anyone`, no extra information is required.
view	string	Optional	Indicates the view for this permission. Only populated for permissions that belong to a view. The only supported values are `published` and `metadata`: * `published`: The permission's role is `publishedReader`. * `metadata`: The item is only visible to the `metadata` view because the item has limited access and the scope has at least read access to the parent. The `metadata` view is only supported on folders. For more information, see [Views](https://developers.google.com/workspace/drive/api/guides/ref-roles#views).

Policy, approvals and errors

SDK function policy ID: google.drive_permissions_get. Catalog operation: drive.permissions.get. Rules can name either ID; function rules distinguish managed calls and conservatively cover raw calls sharing the route. Existing grant permissions and policy rules apply. wait() returns an immediate result or waits for a required approval; it never approves the request itself. Persist the approval ID to resume after a restart.

Provider errors retain their response; JSON decoding raises ProviderAPIError for provider failures. ManagedOperationError identifies contract/input/retention errors. See error handling and provider-specific behavior. Sensitive input may be refused before approval storage. A decoding error never resubmits a write.

Required provider scopes: ["https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive", "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.file", "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.meet.readonly", "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.metadata", "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.metadata.readonly", "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.photos.readonly", "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.readonly"]
