Basic Parameters

Parameter	Description
Fields	Selector specifying which fields to include in a partial response.
File ID	The ID of the file or shared drive.
Permission ID	The ID of the permission.
Remove Expiration	Whether to remove the expiration date.
Supports All Drives	Whether the requesting application supports both My Drives and shared drives.
Transfer Ownership	Whether to transfer ownership to the specified user and downgrade the current owner to a writer. This parameter is required as an acknowledgement of the side effect. File owners can only transfer ownership of files existing on My Drive. Files existing in a shared drive are owned by the organization that owns that shared drive. Ownership transfers are not supported for files and folders in shared drives. Organizers of a shared drive can move items from that shared drive into their My Drive which transfers the ownership to them.
Use Domain Admin Access	Issue the request as a domain administrator; if set to true, then the requester will be granted access if the file ID parameter refers to a shared drive and the requester is an administrator of the domain to which the shared drive belongs.

Advanced Parameters

Parameter	Description
Delegated User Override	Perform the action on behalf of another user, overriding the delegated user defined in the connection. If not specified, the delegated user is the one provided in the connection. Has no effect when using an OAuth connection. NOTE: the connection details are not edited by this input.
