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 Premiumdelete— 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 aGroup.get— Retrieves aGroup.getSecuritySettings— Get Security Settingslist— Lists theGroupresources under a customer or namespace.lookup— Looks up the resource name of aGroupby itsEntityKey.patch— Updates aGroup.search— Searches forGroupresources matching a specified query.updateSecuritySettings— Update Security Settingsmemberships— 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, theOperationin 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, theOperationin the response will have"done": false, it will not have a response, and the metadata will have"state": "awaiting-multi-party-approval".
inboundSamlSsoProfiles
create— Creates an InboundSamlSsoProfile for a customer. When the target customer has enabled Multi-party approval for sensitive actions, theOperationin 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 InboundSamlSsoProfile.get— Gets an InboundSamlSsoProfile.list— Lists InboundSamlSsoProfiles for a customer.patch— Updates an InboundSamlSsoProfile. When the target customer has enabled Multi-party approval for sensitive actions, theOperationin the response will have"done": false, it will not have a response, and the metadata will have"state": "awaiting-multi-party-approval".idpCredentials— Operations on the 'idpCredentials' resource
inboundSsoAssignments
create— Creates an InboundSsoAssignment for users and devices in aCustomerunder a givenGrouporOrgUnit.delete— Deletes an InboundSsoAssignment. To disable SSO, Create (or Update) an assignment that hassso_mode==SSO_OFF.get— Gets an InboundSsoAssignment.list— Lists the InboundSsoAssignments for aCustomer.patch— Updates an InboundSsoAssignment. The body of this request is theinbound_sso_assignmentfield and theupdate_maskis relative to that. For example: a PATCH to/v1/inboundSsoAssignments/0abcdefg1234567&update_mask=rankwith a body of{ "rank": 1 }moves that (presumably group-targeted) SSO assignment to the highest priority and shifts any other group-targeted assignments down in priority.

How to use gws-cloudidentity on Cursor
AI-first code editor with Composer
Prerequisites
Before installing skills in Cursor, ensure your development environment meets these requirements:
- ›Cursor installed and configured on your development machine
- ›Node.js version 16.0+ with npm package manager (verify with
node --version) - ›Active project directory or workspace where you want to add gws-cloudidentity
Execute installation command
Execute the skills CLI command in your project's root directory to begin installation:
The skills CLI fetches gws-cloudidentity from GitHub repository googleworkspace/cli and configures it for Cursor.
Select Cursor when prompted
The CLI will show a list of available agents. Use arrow keys to navigate and space to select Cursor:
Verify installation
Confirm successful installation by checking the skill directory location:
Reload or restart Cursor to activate gws-cloudidentity. Access the skill through slash commands (e.g., /gws-cloudidentity) or your agent's skill management interface.
Security & Verification Notice
We perform automated surface-level scans (Gen AI Scanner, Socket, Snyk) during installation. These checks detect common vulnerabilities but do not guarantee complete security. Always review skill source code and verify the publisher's reputation before production use.
Skills execute code in your development environment. Always verify the publisher's identity, review recent commits, and test in isolated environments before production deployment.

- 4.Iterate on prompts to improve results
- 5.Integrate into regular workflow if valuable
Common Pitfalls
- ⚠Expecting perfect results without iteration
- ⚠Not providing enough context in prompts
- ⚠Using skill for tasks outside its intended scope
- ⚠Accepting outputs without review and validation
Best Practices▌
✓ Do
- +Start with clear, specific prompts
- +Provide relevant context and constraints
- +Review and refine all outputs before using
- +Iterate to improve output quality
- +Document successful prompt patterns
✗ Don't
- −Don't use without understanding skill limitations
- −Don't skip validation of outputs
- −Don't share sensitive information in prompts
- −Don't expect skill to replace human judgment
💡 Pro Tips
- ★Be specific about desired format and style
- ★Ask for multiple options to choose from
- ★Request explanations to understand reasoning
- ★Combine AI efficiency with human expertise
When to Use This▌
✓ Use When
Use when skill capabilities match your task, clear ROI on time saved, and you can validate outputs. Best for repetitive tasks, learning, and quality improvement.
✗ Avoid When
Avoid when task requires deep expertise you can't validate, involves sensitive decisions, or when learning process is more valuable than speed of completion.
Learning Path▌
- 1Familiarize yourself with skill capabilities and limitations
- 2Start with low-risk, non-critical tasks
- 3Progress to more complex and valuable use cases
- 4Build expertise through regular use and experimentation
