Unshare domain user’s contact information programmatically using the Google Apps Profiles API
August 31, 2011
Domain administrators can create new users for their domain using the control panel web UI and the
Google Apps Provisioning API
. Once the new users are created, editing their contact information (such as their addresses, phone numbers, etc) can be done using the
Google Apps Profiles API
. These profiles are shown to everybody in the organization when searching for users in GMail’s
Contacts Manager
and GMail’s
autocomplete
feature.
Some users want enhanced privacy but unsharing a user’s contact information could only be done using the control panel web UI.
We just introduced a new element in the Google Apps Profiles API that lets domain administrators set this option programmatically. This new field is called
gContact:status
and is available under a User Profile entry:
<gcontact:status indexed="true"/>
Changing the
indexed
attribute value to
false
unshares the user contact’s information when “contact sharing” is enabled on the domain.
For more information about the Google Apps Profiles API and code samples for supported languages using our client libraries, please refer to the
developer’s guide.
To learn how you can use 2-legged OAuth and batch requests to programmatically unshare users contact’s information with our client libraries, please have a look at this
article
.
