Limit Google Drive crawler scope

Workato GO integrates with Google Drive to support enterprise search and automation across your organization's documents. You can use the google_drive.user_allowlist property to limit the crawler scope to specific users' files and shared content.

You can use this property to enable the following:

• Limit indexing to a pilot group or specific departments.
• Restrict access to sensitive content for compliance.
