Revoke unwanted and outdated accesses

With Folgo, you can effortlessly revoke user permissions following an audit. The feature enables you to completely reassign or revoke all permissions on all files within an entire folder architecture (folder and subfolders), Shared Drive or Google Account.

1. Inspect your folder

To initiate the process, start by generating an Audit Spreadsheet. This sheet will serve as your control center for revoking permissions.

For detailed instructions on how to inspect a folder, click here. 

Do not forget to check the "List file permissions" option.

2. Check your permissions

From your audit report, open the "Permission Recap" sheet. There, you'll find a comprehensive overview of who currently has access to some files in the entire folder architecture, Shared Drive or Google account you ran the audit on. From here, open the Folgo add-on again.

3. Select the users and remove / update the permissions

1. In Folgo, look for a button labeled "secure folder" and click on it. Checkboxes will be inserted in the first collumn of your sheet.
2. Check those boxes for users from whom you want to remove or update permissions.
3. Once you have selected all the users, select the action you wish to perform in the "Action to perform on permission" dropdown:
   1. "Remove permissions" will completely revoke the accesses selected from every files in every folder and subfolders that were audited.
   2. "Set to Editor" will set them as editor.
   3. "Set to Commenter" will set them as commenter.
   4. "Set to Viewer" will set them as viewer.
