I'm trying to create groups for our organization using the REST API.  I want these groups to be public within our domain, and to be listed in the groups directory.

So far I've found this undocumented setting:

 <apps:property name="permissionPreset" value="PublicDomain"/>

PermissionPreset takes the values PublicDomain, TeamDomain, Announcement, and Restricted (taken from the GApps command panel).  I can't find a way, however, to affect the "list in the directory" setting.

Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Jack,

  Sorry, detailed group settings cannot be set via the Provisioning API. The only permissions you can set are the "permissionPreset" values you identified. There is currently no API to modify detailed Group Settings.

The possible options for setting accessibility permissions when creating Groups on your domain are listed here:

It sounds like you might need to set an "emailPermission" of "Domain."

Hello Jack,

With the launch of the Groups Settings API, now you can affect the 'list in the directory' setting for the group
using "showInGroupDirectory" property.

Thank you,
