Managing members on a Google Shared Drive requires Manager access.

Change a member's access to a shared drive

1. On your computer, go to drive.google.com.
2. In the left column, click Shared drives and double-click one of your shared drives.
3. At the top, click Manage members.
4. Next to a member’s name, click the Down arrow and select a new access level.
   • If possible, give collaborators Manager or Content manager access so they aren’t limited in how they work together in the shared drive.
   • Give members who need to edit files in Google Drive for desktop or in the Chrome OS Files app at least Content manager access.
   • If you’re concerned about members deleting files from a shared drive, give them Contributor, Commenter, or Viewer access only. These members can’t delete files.
   • For a full list of what members can do at different access levels, see the table at support.google.com.
5. Click Done.
