Google Apps Groups Settings API seems that doesn't return the property "Allow External Members". is there any plan to include it?

Thanks

Félix

Hi Felix,

  This setting is available in the Groups Settings API. See:


and look on the page for:

entry/apps:allowExternalMembers/text() 

note that the following setting in the Google Apps Control Panel will need to be checked in order for you to be able to change this setting via the API. If it's unchecked the setting will always be false for the group.

Thanks,

Now the API returns the property but it's always false:
'allowExternalMembers': u'false',

And another question, how can i change programmatically the property on the Google Apps Control Panel (Group owners can allow members from outside this domain)

Hi Felix,

The only way to programmatically change that property is to use the Groups Settings API, and if that doesn't work correctly we should definitely investigate the issue.
Can you share the code you are using and/or the HTTP capture showing that the allowExternalMembers is always false even if you set it to true with either the API or the UI?
Thanks

Claudio
