Rclone lsjson file permissions

[Hassan_Naeem]

I am using lsjson -R to get google drive data in service account. It would be great if we could add permissions too with this like owner,editor etc. We can add a flag to print with permissions and without permissions.

hi, not sure what you need help with, what you wrote is a bit cryptic?
can you provide a real-world example?

@Hassan_Naeem

add permissions

the permissions are set at the time the service account is created, correct?

[Hassan_Naeem]

This is the command we run to get the files

.\rclone.exe lsjson --drive-impersonate admin@abccompany.com gdrive:/

Output We get

{"Path":"Testing.xlsx","Name":"testing.xlsx","Size":-1,"MimeType":"application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet","ModTime":"2023-10-04T15:04:46.597Z","IsDir":false,"ID":"1xdPcdOeaSBAXz61k9if3iZAYVPDhNZjI_vYRk9jtu0c"}

Output we expect

I used google API Explorer to get the below output.

"permissions": [
{
"emailAddress": "abc@gmail.com",
"role": "writer"
},
{
"emailAddress": "user2@gmail.com",
"role": "writer"
}
]

We can add permissions in the first output like this

{"Path":"Testing.xlsx","Name":"testing.xlsx","Size":-1,"MimeType":"application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet","ModTime":"2023-10-04T15:04:46.597Z","IsDir":false,"ID":"1xdPcdOeaSBAXz61k9if3iZAYVPDhNZjI_vYRk9jtu0c","permissions": [
{
"emailAddress": "abc@gmail.com",
"role": "writer"
},
{
"emailAddress": "user2@gmail.com",
"role": "writer"
}
]}

The above can be achieved with the same query rclone user with adding permission field in the query and some model changes of google drive.
