In February 2019, we announced
upcoming changes to the Google Groups Settings API. Based on your feedback, we're
making improvements to the Groups
API to make it easier for you to assess the impact and take action. For the full
list of changes, see this help
center article.
When will API changes take effect?
The new features will be available starting March 25, 2019. It may take up to 72 hours for the
features to rollout to everyone
What's changing?
Property 'membersCanPostAsTheGroup' will not be merged into 'whoCanModerateContent'
Property 'messageModerationLevel' will continue to support MODERATE_NEW_MEMBERS (it
will not be deprecated)
New property 'customRoleUsedInMergedSetting'
Thiswill indicate if a group uses custom
roles in one of the merged settings. If a group uses a custom role, review the
permissions in the Groups interface. The Groups API doesn't support custom roles and may
report incorrect values for permissions.
New properties representing all to-be-merged settings,
as well as the new settings, will be added
New property 'whoCanDiscoverGroup' to indicate the upcoming behavior for
'showInGroupDirectory'
