Google Drive: Request Access
We do not allow the use of Request Access. Every time you click the button, you will be sent a response email that directs you to this page. We have thousands of files at Hack for LA, and we have developed this system to make sure that permissions are given to those that need them.
After you attend a Hack for LA onboarding, you should have access to the community of practice drive(s) you selected during the onboarding process.
After Hack for LA onboarding, you can join a project that has an open role by contacting the project lead listed in the role details via the project's Slack channel. Joining a project will get you access to its project Drive and files.
- Do you have access to your project's shared drive? If not, send a Slack message to your PM. Getting access to the project drive is a normal part of project onboarding.
- If you are not sure if you have access to the project's shared drive, Go to your Shared Drives, and see if you can find the drive with the name of your team.
- There are files still stored in the project's legacy folders. Only a few people have access to these folders (to stop people putting new items in them while we transition out of them.) If you have already onboarded to your team and have access to the current drive, and you think the file you want might be in the project's old drive, ask the PM if they can access it and if they cannot, see below for additional steps.
If you are trying to get access to a guide. All guides should be set to anyone can view. If the one you want is not, reach out to the guides team by messaging them on the #guides Slack channel with the following info:
- Your Name (if different from your slack handle)- URL of the doc, sheet or presentation
- The type of access you want (view or edit)
- Where you got the link (give us a URL to the wiki or issue if applicable)
- Any other thing that might help
