Google Admin

!Google Admin

Access Google Workspace Admin SDK via the Google Admin API with OAuth authentication. Manage users, groups, domains, devices, and directory data.

This skill uses ClawLink for hosted connection flows and credentials so you do not need to configure Google Admin API access yourself.

Install

Install the verified ClawLink plugin from ClawHub. After the user confirms, complete the full setup so ClawLink tools are visible in the next OpenClaw chat.

openclaw plugins install clawhub:clawlink-plugin
openclaw config set tools.alsoAllow '["clawlink-plugin"]' --strict-json
openclaw gateway restart

Then tell the user: "OpenClaw has been restarted. Send /new as a standalone message to start a fresh chat, then ask for Google Admin again."

Quick Start

# List all users in the domain
clawlink_call_tool --tool "google_admin_list_all_users" --params '{}'

# Get a specific user
clawlink_call_tool --tool "google_admin_get_a_user" --params '{"user_key": "user@example.com"}'

# List groups
clawlink_call_tool --tool "google_admin_list_all_groups" --params '{}'

Authentication

All Google Admin tool calls are authenticated automatically by ClawLink using the user's connected Google Workspace admin account.

No API key is required in chat. ClawLink stores the OAuth token securely and injects it into every Google Admin API request on the user's behalf.

Getting Connected

1. Install the ClawLink plugin (see Install above).
2. Pair the plugin with clawlink_begin_pairing if it is not configured yet.
3. Open https://claw-link.dev/dashboard?add=google-admin and connect Google Admin.
4. Call clawlink_list_integrations to verify the connection is active.

Connection Management

List Connections

clawlink_list_integrations

Response: Returns all connected integrations. Look for google-admin in the list.

Verify Connection

clawlink_list_tools --integration google-admin

Response: Returns the live tool catalog for Google Admin.

Reconnect

If Google Admin tools are missing or the connection shows an error:

1. Direct the user to https://claw-link.dev/dashboard?add=google-admin
2. After they confirm, call clawlink_list_integrations to verify
3. Then call clawlink_list_tools --integration google-admin

Security & Permissions

• Access is scoped to the Google Workspace domain and resources the connected admin account can manage.
• All write operations require explicit user confirmation. Before executing any create, update, or delete call, confirm the target resource and intended effect with the user.
• Destructive actions (deleting users, removing groups) are marked as high-impact and must be confirmed.
• This skill requires Google Workspace admin privileges. Personal Gmail accounts do not have access to the Admin SDK.

Code Examples

List all users

clawlink_call_tool --tool "google_admin_list_all_users" \
  --params '{
    "customer": "my_customer",
    "max_results": 100
  }'

Create a new user

clawlink_call_tool --tool "google_admin_create_user" \
  --params '{
    "primary_email": "newuser@example.com",
    "name": {
      "given_name": "New",
      "family_name": "User"
    },
    "password": "secure-password-here"
  }'

Add user to group

clawlink_call_tool --tool "google_admin_add_user_to_group" \
  --params '{
    "group_email": "engineering@example.com",
    "user_email": "newuser@example.com",
    "role": "MEMBER"
  }'

List groups

clawlink_call_tool --tool "google_admin_list_all_groups" \
  --params '{}'

Discovery Workflow

1. Call clawlink_list_integrations to confirm Google Admin is connected.
2. Call clawlink_list_tools --integration google-admin to see the live catalog.
3. Treat the returned list as the source of truth. Do not guess or assume what tools exist.
4. If the user describes a capability but the exact tool is unclear, call clawlink_search_tools with a short query and integration google-admin.
5. If no Google Admin tools appear, direct the user to https://claw-link.dev/dashboard?add=google-admin.

Execution Workflow

┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│  READ OPERATIONS (Safe)                                     │
│  list → get → search → describe → call                      │
│                                                             │
│  Example: List users → Get user → Show details              │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
                              │
                              ▼
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│  WRITE OPERATIONS (Require Confirmation)                    │
│  list → get → describe → preview → confirm → call           │
│                                                             │
│  Example: Describe tool → Preview user creation             │
│           → User approves → Execute create                  │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

1. For unfamiliar tools, ambiguous requests, or any write action, call clawlink_describe_tool first.
2. Use the returned guidance, schema, whenToUse, askBefore, safeDefaults, examples, and followups to shape the call.
3. Prefer read, list, search, and get operations before writes when that reduces ambiguity.
4. For writes or anything marked as requiring confirmation, call clawlink_preview_tool first.
5. Execute with clawlink_call_tool. Pass confirmation only after the preview matches the user's intent.
6. If the tool call fails, report the real error. Do not invent results or restate the failure as a missing capability unless the live catalog supports that conclusion.

Notes

• This skill requires Google Workspace admin privileges. Personal Gmail accounts do not have Admin SDK access.
• User and group email addresses must belong to the verified Google Workspace domain.
• Some admin operations (like deleting users or moving OUs) may be restricted by admin policies.
• The customer parameter for user queries can be my_customer or the specific customer ID.

Error Handling

Troubleshooting: Tools Not Visible

1. Check that the ClawLink plugin is installed:

```bash

openclaw plugins list

```

1. If the plugin is installed but tools are missing, tell the user to send /new as a standalone message to reload the catalog.
2. If a fresh chat does not help, run:

```bash

openclaw config set tools.alsoAllow '["clawlink-plugin"]' --strict-json

openclaw gateway restart

```

1. After restart, tell the user to send /new again and retry.

Troubleshooting: Invalid Tool Call

1. Ensure the integration slug is exactly google-admin.
2. Use clawlink_describe_tool to verify parameter names and types before calling.
3. For write operations, always call clawlink_preview_tool first.
