Google Team Drive permissions have five (5) levels of Permissions.

When Adding Members, it is wisest to do it based on their role.

The manager is literally the owner of the Team Drive and can do the following:

  • Add Files/Folders
  • Edit Files/Folders (including renaming)
  • Move Files/Folders within the Team Drive
  • Delete Files/Folders
  • Share Files (Within the limits of the Team Drive Settings)
  • Change Team Drive Settings
  • Add/remove members from the Team Drive

Who should be set as Manager

This should be for people who are familiar with what the Team Drive is for and who should have access to it, such as MSOs or Managers.

The content manager manages the content within the Team Drive, such as:

  • Add Files/Folders
  • Edit Files/Folders (This includes renaming the file)
  • Move Files/Folders within Team Drive
