Directory for GApps: important update with no new features

Post date: Oct 2, 2014 7:58:53 PM

We have already published (Oct.4, 2014) an important update (version 1.101sv49) to xsDirectory App (Shared Contacts Directory for your Domain on Google Apps), including some changes on the code accordingly with Google deprecation notice, for Scriptdb, GroupsManager and UserManager classes.

After the upgrade, all xsDirectory App's current users should open the App and complete the authorization process again, because the new functions, even though similar, will trigger different permissions. To access the App you can go to your Browser Apps page and click on xsDirectory icon, or directly through this link.

Notes about the changes within xsDirectory code,

- Scriptdb has been used as the web app store, holding licence information and settings. It will be replaced by an external Db on Parse.com

- GroupsManager for reading group members associated with each contacts book. It will be replaced by Admin SDK Directory Groups and Members.

- UserManager for reading domain user email address just to allow for * (add all users) as members of a group. It will be replaced by Admin SDK Directory Users.

The previous permissions and App actions related with these functions were:

* Manage users on your domain

reading domain user email address just to allow for * (add all users) as members of a group

* Manage groups on your domain

reading group members associated with each contacts book

The new permissions and App actions related with these functions are now instead:

* View users on your domain

reading domain user email address just to allow for * (add all users) as members of a group

* View groups on your domain

reading groups list for the App user to associate with each contact book

* View group subscriptions on your domain

reading group members associated with each contacts book
