Below explains why the Google Drive scopes are required for the add-on to function.
1) Connect More! uses the “auth/drive.file” scope in conjunction with the picker used to select the student presentations. Once selected the tool iterates through the files and uses the teachers own editing right to slip new slide content into each presentation.
2) To my knowledge, the scopes cannot be modified to remove a certain component such as deleting. The add-on does go thru a review process by Google to ensure there is no malicious intent, and I have no intent other than to help teachers teach and engage their students in rigorous content. This product (and all of my others) come out of coaching teachers and finding areas in which they face challenges, and I then code solutions to help meet those challenges. I do want to ensure you that the program only does what is described which is to take a slide deck that the teacher owns, select the slide range they would like to slip into the student presentations to continue engagement, and to follow through and slip the slide to every presentation in the folder (if the teacher has editing rights). Nothing else is done. No files are removed, no slides removed for that matter. This script simply enables the teacher to do something that would be to time consuming for students and teachers to consider doing. You can look at the OTT-o-matic Privacy Policy as well for further information to use of PII data.
