2. Share as editor: `gws drive permissions create --params '{"fileId": "FOLDER_ID"}' --json '{"role": "writer", "type": "user", "emailAddress": "colleague@company.com"}'`
3. Share as viewer: `gws drive permissions create --params '{"fileId": "FOLDER_ID"}' --json '{"role": "reader", "type": "user", "emailAddress": "stakeholder@company.com"}'`
4. Verify permissions: `gws drive permissions list --params '{"fileId": "FOLDER_ID"}' --format table`
