User

A user in Google Chat. When returned as an output from a request, if your Chat app authenticates as a user, the output for a User resource only populates the user's name and type.

Fields
name

string

Resource name for a Google Chat user.

Format: users/{user}. users/app can be used as an alias for the calling app bot user.

For human users, {user} is the same user identifier as:

  • the {person_id} for the Person in the People API, where the Person resourceName is people/{person_id}. For example, users/123456789 in Chat API represents the same person as people/123456789 in People API.

  • the id for a user in the Admin SDK Directory API.

  • the user's email address can be used as an alias for {user} in API requests. For example, if the People API Person resourceName for user@example.com is people/123456789, you can use users/user@example.com as an alias to reference users/123456789. Only the canonical resource name (for example users/123456789) will be returned from the API.
