Summary

Google has announced updates to its Admin SDK for Google for Work customers, enabling the addition of custom user attributes in the Directory API and expanding access to all domain users. The new feature allows businesses to define attributes such as project involvement, job level, or hiring date, which behave like regular fields in user profiles and support different data types. These attributes can be set as public or private, depending on the organization's needs. Additionally, the update allows all users, not just admins, to call the Directory API to read profiles of other users within the domain, respecting access control and profile sharing settings. This change aims to facilitate the creation of business applications like corporate directories and workflow management tools that can be used organization-wide.
