How can I change the delivery settings of a google group member using api and .Net

Question

How can I change the delivery settings of a google group member using the google api?

Within a google group using the User interface I can change the delivery settings of each member: - no email - Abridged - Digest - All email

I have found the admin API for both groups and members

https://developers.google.com/admin-sdk

• /directory/v1/guides/manage-groups
• /directory/v1//guides/manage-group-members
• /directory/v1//reference/groups
• /directory/v1//reference/members

I also found the groupssettings api to change some more settings of a group

https://developers.google.com

• /admin-sdk/groups-settings/get_started

• /api-client-library/dotnet/apis/groupssettings/v1

But I can not find a method to change the delivery settings of a member via the API

Answer 1

The admin SDK has been updated in the past few years, and you can now use

GET https://admin.googleapis.com/admin/directory/v1/groups/{groupKey}/members/{memberKey}

cf. the API documentation

Answer 2

Commiserating. I wish to be able to set abridged delivery for members (and incoming members of my group too). To make sure I wasn't missing something, I placed a ticket with Google Apps for Education, and Google engineers admittedly don't have a solution (API or otherwise).

I've created a feature request on the Google for Work bulletin board. If you're a Google Apps Admin, you can log in and "vote-it-up" in importance.

Unfortunately there isn't currently an API that can make this change. The existing APIs you mentioned are for manipulating groups within a Google Apps domain, and specifically for controlling the settings of the group, not it's users.
