Google Drive API insufficientFilePermissions error

Hi I am receiving an error of insufficientFilePermissions when transfering ownership of a file.

What I did is, create a permission of writer for the Main email address (need to be the owner). Then it returned permission object.

I used the permission.id in the URL as a parameter. Then role property on request body.

I am currently logged in as the current owner of the file using OAuth 2. what is the problem here?

Make sure owner of the file is someone of same domain because transfer ownership us not supported across domain.

Make sure that your apps have sufficient scope the it needs.

Also, try to delete your previously save credentials related file or browser cache if any.

Your error indicates that you don't have write access to a file, and the app is attempting to modify that file.

Suggested action: Report to the user that there is a need to ask for those permissions in order to update the file. You may also want to check user access levels in the metadata retrieved by files.get and use that to change your UI to a read only UI.
