Creates a guardian invitation, and sends an email to the guardian asking them to confirm that they are the student's guardian. Once the guardian accepts the invitation, their state will change to COMPLETED and they will start receiving guardian notifications. A Guardian resource will also be created to represent the active guardian. The request object must have the student_id and invited_email_address fields set. Failing to set these fields, or setting any other fields in the request, will result in an error. This method returns the following error codes: * PERMISSION_DENIED if the current user does not have permission to manage guardians, if the guardian in question has already rejected too many requests for that student, if guardians are not enabled for the domain in question, or for other access errors. * RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED if the student or guardian has exceeded the guardian link limit. * INVALID_ARGUMENT if the guardian email address is not valid (for example, if it is too long), or if the format of the student ID provided cannot be recognized (it is not an email address, nor a user_id from this API). This error will also be returned if read-only fields are set, or if the state field is set to to a value other than PENDING. * NOT_FOUND if the student ID provided is a valid student ID, but Classroom has no record of that student. * ALREADY_EXISTS if there is already a pending guardian invitation for the student and invited_email_address provided, or if the provided invited_email_address matches the Google account of an existing Guardian for this user.

Scopes

You will need authorization for the https://www.googleapis.com/auth/classroom.guardianlinks.students scope to make a valid call.

If unset, the scope for this method defaults to https://www.googleapis.com/auth/classroom.guardianlinks.students. You can set the scope for this method like this: classroom1 --scope <scope> user-profiles guardian-invitations-create ...

Required Scalar Argument

  • <student-id> (string)
    • ID of the student (in standard format)

Required Request Value

The request value is a data-structure with various fields. Each field may be a simple scalar or another data-structure. In the latter case it is advised to set the field-cursor to the data-structure's field to specify values more concisely.

For example, a structure like this:

GuardianInvitation:
  creation-time: string
  invitation-id: string
  invited-email-address: string
  state: string
  student-id: string

can be set completely with the following arguments which are assumed to be executed in the given order. Note how the cursor position is adjusted to the respective structures, allowing simple field names to be used most of the time.

  • -r . creation-time=invidunt
    • The time that this invitation was created. Read-only.
  • invitation-id=clita
    • Unique identifier for this invitation. Read-only.
  • invited-email-address=stet
    • Email address that the invitation was sent to. This field is only visible to domain administrators.
  • state=aliquyam
    • The state that this invitation is in.
  • student-id=ut
    • ID of the student (in standard format)

About Cursors

The cursor position is key to comfortably set complex nested structures. The following rules apply:

  • The cursor position is always set relative to the current one, unless the field name starts with the . character. Fields can be nested such as in -r f.s.o .
  • The cursor position is set relative to the top-level structure if it starts with ., e.g. -r .s.s
  • You can also set nested fields without setting the cursor explicitly. For example, to set a value relative to the current cursor position, you would specify -r struct.sub_struct=bar.
  • You can move the cursor one level up by using ... Each additional . moves it up one additional level. E.g. ... would go three levels up.

Optional Output Flags

The method's return value a JSON encoded structure, which will be written to standard output by default.

  • -o out
    • out specifies the destination to which to write the server's result to. It will be a JSON-encoded structure. The destination may be - to indicate standard output, or a filepath that is to contain the received bytes. If unset, it defaults to standard output.

Optional General Properties

The following properties can configure any call, and are not specific to this method.

  • -p $-xgafv=string

    • V1 error format.

  • -p access-token=string

    • OAuth access token.
