I am a teacher and we have recently adopted Google apps Education
Edition. I am the "administrator" of this service here and have, so
far, been able to get us up and running. Everyone has an account
under our domain and can use it fine. But, when it comes to managing
the users I am at a loss. The user management that can be done via a
website is VERY limited, especially for us because we have ~3000
users.
Google expects administrators to be able to make a REST API (.xml, or
others) to manage some functions. I don't know how to do this, I'm
not a coder.
But, I will someday need to do some of these things, like...
* suspend an account
* delete an account
* reset/change a forgotten password
* manage email lists, like ([email address])
*
Without the ability to make and API to do this, we will have some
disappointments. I'd like to learn how to do this.
Lots of info and even some downloadable code is available right from
Google Help. I feel like I am pretty tech savvy and can usually figure
this stuff out on my own, but I am lost with this API stuff. Seems to
be
for the world of programmers & coders and I just don't have the
training to figure
this out. But, I think that if someone could get me going in the
right direction, I could take it from there. But, I don't even know
where to start. Here are my basic questions...
* Do I need a dedicated server to do this?
* What program/application should I create the xml with? I have
dreamweaver but I can't figure...
* How do I send it to the Google HTTP address?
* Am I crazy thinking that I could do this?
Thanks for any help,
Mr. E
