Hi.  
I have already done the API but it looks did not work. 😢  
The user can still get non-permitted documents as a search result.

The return from the API looks like it has no error though.

```auto
{"content_source_id":"<content-source-id>","external_user_id":"<the email of Google Drive>","external_user_properties":[{"attribute_name":"_elasticsearch_username","attribute_value":"<the Elasticsearch username>"}],"permissions":[]}

```

As you said the email of the Elasticsearch user and the email in Google Drive are the same.
