Bulk create Shared drives with permissions

The following Google Apps Script is designed to bulk create Google Shared drives all from data in a Google Sheet. It has been packaged into a downloadable tool that you can easily use.

• Provide the name of the Shared drive on each row in column A.
• Provide the email address(es) of the Google Account(s) under the relevant Access level column (Manager, Content Manager, Contributor, Commenter, Viewer). Use a comma and a space to separate multiple email addresses, eg: example1@example.com, example2@example.com, example3@example.com.
• Ensure you include at least one Manager - the script will check for this - so as to prevent creating a Shared drive that you are then unable to access.
  
• On the 'Config' sheet provide the column numbers - leave the default values unless you change the structure of the 'Data' sheet and move columns around.
• The 'Log' sheet should help to troubleshoot any errors you experience, but there will also be a popup message should the script fail at some point.
