"Embed Google Docs Folders in a Google Site" script returns error. Is now required an additional permission to run it?

I added the "Embed Google Docs Folders in a Google Site" from de Google Spreadsheet script gallery and allowed to run, add the folder id and the URL of a Google Site page. It runs fine for files where I'm the owner or an editor but when I'm a viewer an error occurs and the following error message is displayed

You do not have permission to perform that action. (line 31)

The above occurred both with a Google Apps account and with a consumer account.

I'm wondering if an additional permission is required or if there is a another way to get the owner of docs shared with me.

  • Issue 1258: DocsList and View only Acccess was marked "WorkingAsIntended" August 22, 2012.

    Following Google's sharing model, "Read Only" access does not give permissions to see document owners' names or ids.
