Tip of the Week: New Roles in Team Drive

Recently, the names of the roles in Team Drive changed. The roles are pretty much the same, except for one new role. Here is the low down....

The following updates were taken from https://gsuiteupdates.googleblog.com/

New names for roles in Team Drives 

The existing roles for Team Drives memberships will get new names:

• “Full access” will now be known as “Manager.” 
• “Edit access” will now be “Contributor.” 
• “Comment access” will now be “Commenter.” 
• “View access” will now be “Viewer.” 
• There will also be a new role, “Content manager.” See below for more details. 

Types of access levels

• Full access: By default, people can manage members, and upload, edit, move, or delete all files.
• Edit access: Edit all files and upload new files. These people can’t move or delete files.
• Comment access: Can only comment on all files.
• View access: Can only view all files.

The new role "Content Manager", can manage the content in the Team Drive, but cannot add or remove Team Drive members. Only the "Manager" can do that.
