Google Workspace - Shared Folders / User reports - what is shared with who

[timbo343]

Yet another Google question.

 

Is it possible to run some kind of report that will tell me which user has been granted shared folder access and what they have access to.

 

For example, i'd like to run a report of all folders / files that have been shared to me with the permissions and where the folder / file is stored.

Are you paying for GSuite? There’s a file exposure report built into the security dashboard but I’ve just tried it on our free GSuite and seems we can’t access it!

Yeah we are, just had the license applied. Where in the Admin side is the report.

Note used it myself yet and might not be as granular as you'd like but worth a look.

Another option might be using GAM advanced but not sure what commands you'd need.

Thanks, i saw this and i feel it's the wrong way round. I need to know which user can see said files / folders rather than what files / folders have been shared.

 

I've had a look at GAM and there isn't much on there which will report on what files USER A has access to.

I'd be surprised if this wasn't possible with Advanced GAM. The guy who wrote it, Ross Scroggs, is very active and helpful on the Google Group. He's done a couple of Meets with me before to figure out how to do things I needed.
