Is there any way to restrict access subfolder on Google shared drive

Hi there!

I have a folder on shared drive, that contains some subfolder, each subfolder allows a role to access, and I have a big group contain all groups (roles) as well. And now I want grant permission for the big group access to parent folder and the roles access to corresponding subfolder (the same way I have done on Active Directory). But when grant the big group to parent folder then all roles access all subfolder. So is there any way to fix it.

Thank in advanced.

No, itโ€™s not possible. Shared Drives use whatโ€™s commonly referred to as a โ€œwaterfallโ€ permissions model. While many of the specific details are different, Googleโ€™s competitor Box has a really good explanation of the concept in the video over at https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360043697254-Understanding-Folder-Permissions

Hope that helps,

Ian
