After a group exists, you can create memberships for it. This page explains how to perform some fundamental membership operations with the Cloud Identity Groups API. To learn how to create a Google Group, refer to Creating and listing Google Groups.
Before you begin
Set up authentication and install the client libraries. See Setting up the Cloud Identity Groups API to learn how.
Adding a membership to a Google Group
REST
To add a member to a Google Group, call
groups.memberships.create()
with the ID of the parent group and a
memberships
resource.
Python
The following code shows you how to associate a member with a group:
def create_google_group_membership(service, identity_source_id, group_id, member_key):
param = "&groupKey.id=" + group_id + "&groupKey.namespace=identitysources/" + identity_source_id
try:
lookupGroupNameRequest = service.groups().lookup()
lookupGroupNameRequest.uri += param
# Given a group ID and namespace, retrieve the ID for parent group
lookupGroupNameResponse = lookupGroupNameRequest.execute()
groupName = lookupGroupNameResponse.get("name")
# Create a membership object with a memberKey and a single role of type MEMBER
membership = {
"memberKey": member_key,
"roles" : {
"name" : "MEMBER"
}
}
# Create a membership using the ID for the parent group and a membership object
response = service.groups().memberships().create(parent=groupName, body=membership).execute()
print response
except Exception, e:
print e
Listing memberships of a Google Group
REST
To list memberships in a Google Group, call
groups.memberships.list()
with the ID of the parent group and a
memberships
resource.
Python
The following code lists the memberships for a group:
def list_google_group_memberships(service, group_id):
param = "&groupKey.id=" + group_id
try:
lookup_group_name_request = service.groups().lookup()
lookup_group_name_request.uri += param
lookup_group_name_response = lookup_group_name_request.execute()
group_name = lookup_group_name_response.get("name")
# List memberships
response = service.groups().memberships().list(parent=group_name).execute()
print response
except Exception, e:
print e
