Admin SDK Groups Settings Service

The Admin SDK Groups Settings service allows you to use the Admin SDK's Groups Settings API in Apps Script. This API gives administrators of G Suite domains (including resellers) the ability to manage the group settings for groups in their G Suite account.

Note: This is an advanced service that must be enabled before use.

Reference

For detailed information on this service, see the reference documentation for the Admin SDK Groups Settings API. Like all advanced services in Apps Script, the Admin SDK Groups Settings service uses the same objects, methods, and parameters as the public API.

To report issues and find other support, see the Admin SDK Groups Settings support guide.
