## What it does

Under the hood the command expands to `gws cloudidentity <resource> <method> [flags]` and runs it with your credentials. The surface covers groups (create, delete, search, security settings), group memberships, devices including `wipe` and `cancelWipe`, OIDC and SAML SSO profiles, SSO assignments, and policies. The full resource list comes from `gws cloudidentity --help`.

Before touching the API it checks `gws --version` and `gws auth status`, then pulls the method schema with `gws schema cloudidentity.<resource>.<method>`; that schema drives the `--params` and `--json` flags. Pagination goes through `--max-results` and `--page-token`, and the command walks you through API errors and quota limits.

No installed `gws` and no working auth means nothing runs, so `gws auth status` has to report a live session. Device creation is limited to Enterprise Standard, Enterprise Plus, Enterprise for Education or Cloud Identity Premium licenses. The referenced `../gws-shared/SKILL.md` must exist; the command suggests `gws generate-skills` when it is absent.

## Requirements
- Works with: Google Workspace

# 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"`.
