Invites the specified user to become an administrator for the specified account. The invitee must accept the invitation in order to be granted access to the account. See AcceptInvitation to programmatically accept an invitation.

Required Scalar Argument

  • <parent> (string)
    • Required. The resource name of the account this admin is created for. accounts/{account_id}.

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:

Admin:
  account: string
  admin: string
  name: string
  pending-invitation: boolean
  role: 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 . account=et
    • Immutable. The name of the Account resource that this Admin refers to. Used when calling locations.admins.create to invite a LocationGroup as an admin. If both this field and admin are set on CREATE requests, this field takes precedence and the email address in admin will be ignored. Format: accounts/{account}.
  • admin=magna
    • Optional. The name of the admin. When making the initial invitation, this is the invitee's email address. On GET calls, the user's email address is returned if the invitation is still pending. Otherwise, it contains the user's first and last names. This field is only needed to be set during admin creation.
  • name=no
    • Immutable. The resource name. For account admins, this is in the form: accounts/{account_id}/admins/{admin_id} For location admins, this is in the form: locations/{location_id}/admins/{admin_id} This field will be ignored if set during admin creation.
  • pending-invitation=true
    • Output only. Indicates whether this admin has a pending invitation for the specified resource.
  • role=voluptua.
    • Required. Specifies the role that this admin uses with the specified Account or Location.

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.

  • -p oauth-token=string

    • OAuth 2.0 token for the current user.

  • -p pretty-print=boolean

    • Returns response with indentations and line breaks.

  • -p quota-user=string

    • Available to use for quota purposes for server-side applications. Can be any arbitrary string assigned to a user, but should not exceed 40 characters.
