# Google Workspace Cloudidentity

Execute Google Workspace Cloudidentity operations: $ARGUMENTS

## Prerequisites

- Google Workspace CLI (`gws`) must be installed
- Authentication configured: Run `gws auth status` to verify
- Review `gws cloudidentity --help` for all available commands

## Available Resources and Methods

# cloudidentity (v1)

> **PREREQUISITE:** Read `../gws-shared/SKILL.md` for auth, global flags, and security rules. If missing, run `gws generate-skills` to create it.

```bash
gws cloudidentity <resource> <method> [flags]
```

## API Resources

### customers

  - `userinvitations` — Operations on the 'userinvitations' resource

### devices

  - `cancelWipe` — Cancels an unfinished device wipe. This operation can be used to cancel device wipe in the gap between the wipe operation returning success and the device being wiped. This operation is possible when the device is in a "pending wipe" state. The device enters the "pending wipe" state when a wipe device command is issued, but has not yet been sent to the device. The cancel wipe will fail if the wipe command has already been issued to the device.
  - `create` — Creates a device. Only company-owned device may be created. **Note**: This method is available only to customers who have one of the following SKUs: Enterprise Standard, Enterprise Plus, Enterprise for Education, and Cloud Identity Premium
  - `delete` — Deletes the specified device.
  - `get` — Retrieves the specified device.
  - `list` — Lists/Searches devices.
  - `wipe` — Wipes all data on the specified device.
  - `deviceUsers` — Operations on the 'deviceUsers' resource

### groups

  - `create` — Creates a Group.
  - `delete` — Deletes a `Group`.
  - `get` — Retrieves a `Group`.
  - `getSecuritySettings` — Get Security Settings
  - `list` — Lists the `Group` resources under a customer or namespace.
  - `lookup` — Looks up the [resource name](https://cloud.google.com/apis/design/resource_names) of a `Group` by its `EntityKey`.
  - `patch` — Updates a `Group`.
  - `search` — Searches for `Group` resources matching a specified query.
  - `updateSecuritySettings` — Update Security Settings
  - `memberships` — Operations on the 'memberships' resource

### inboundOidcSsoProfiles

  - `create` — Creates an InboundOidcSsoProfile for a customer. When the target customer has enabled [Multi-party approval for sensitive actions](https://support.google.com/a/answer/13790448), the `Operation` in the response will have `"done": false`, it will not have a response, and the metadata will have `"state": "awaiting-multi-party-approval"`.
  - `delete` — Deletes an InboundOidcSsoProfile.
  - `get` — Gets an InboundOidcSsoProfile.
  - `list` — Lists InboundOidcSsoProfile objects for a Google enterprise customer.
  - `patch` — Updates an InboundOidcSsoProfile. When the target customer has enabled [Multi-party approval for sensitive actions](https://support.google.com/a/answer/13790448), the `Operation` in the response will have `"done": false`, it will not have a response, and the metadata will have `"state": "awaiting-multi-party-approval"`.

### inboundSamlSsoProfiles

  - `create` — Creates an InboundSamlSsoProfile for a customer. When the target customer has enabled [Multi-party approval for sensitive actions](https://support.google.com/a/answer/13790448), the `Operation` in the response will have `"done": false`, it will not have a response, and the metadata will have `"state": "awaiting-multi-party-approval"`.
  - `delete` — Deletes an InboundSamlSsoProfile.
  - `get` — Gets an InboundSamlSsoProfile.
  - `list` — Lists InboundSamlSsoProfiles for a customer.
  - `patch` — Updates an InboundSamlSsoProfile. When the target customer has enabled [Multi-party approval for sensitive actions](https://support.google.com/a/answer/13790448), the `Operation` in the response will have `"done": false`, it will not have a response, and the metadata will have `"state": "awaiting-multi-party-approval"`.
  - `idpCredentials` — Operations on the 'idpCredentials' resource

### inboundSsoAssignments

  - `create` — Creates an InboundSsoAssignment for users and devices in a `Customer` under a given `Group` or `OrgUnit`.
  - `delete` — Deletes an InboundSsoAssignment. To disable SSO, Create (or Update) an assignment that has `sso_mode` == `SSO_OFF`.
  - `get` — Gets an InboundSsoAssignment.
  - `list` — Lists the InboundSsoAssignments for a `Customer`.
  - `patch` — Updates an InboundSsoAssignment. The body of this request is the `inbound_sso_assignment` field and the `update_mask` is relative to that. For example: a PATCH to `/v1/inboundSsoAssignments/0abcdefg1234567&update_mask=rank` with a body of `{ "rank": 1 }` moves that (presumably group-targeted) SSO assignment to the highest priority and shifts any other group-targeted assignments down in priority.

### policies

  - `get` — Get a policy.
  - `list` — List policies.
