This was a big mystery to them and said it took days for IT to pin it down to my Son. I am really confused.


the audit trails in the Google Admin console would make this a five minute task. As another poster mentioned someone is covering their arse. The trails would also show the user and when the permission levels were changed.

View only status for an entire Google share drive is literally one click. It's not some NSA level security system we're talking about..

I'm not familiar with the google drive school accounts.
How easy would it be for a person that isn't an admin to change their own permissions?

ETA: I'm sure its possible in a dark web, hacker envionment, but this link says only the ADMINISTRATOR can give permissions to either edit, comment on, or only view the file in Google Drives.
Looks like the admin screwed up and gave permissions that shouldn't have been granted and from there it can be as simple as an errant key stroke or another kid in the room accessing his PC, but either way this sounds like its at least 90% on the admin of the school and especially the network director of said school.
