FAQPage Schema
How do I authenticate the Google Workspace CLI?▼

Google Workspace CLI authentication supports browser-based OAuth and service account methods. You must configure one before executing commands to ensure secure API interactions and proper access to your workspace resources.

What global flags are available for formatting Google Workspace CLI output?▼

Google Workspace CLI global flags include `--format` for output styling, `--dry-run` for testing actions, and `--sanitize` for content sanitization. These flags control command execution behavior and response formatting across services.

How do I install the Google Workspace command line interface?▼

Install the Google Workspace CLI globally using the command `npm install -g @googleworkspace/cli`. This provides the foundational command structure and shared patterns required to interact with Google Workspace services.

Can I test destructive Google Workspace API actions before executing them?▼

Yes, use the `--dry-run` global flag to test destructive Google Workspace API actions. This safety feature lets you preview command execution and changes without actually modifying your workspace data.

What security rules apply when using the Google Workspace CLI?▼

Google Workspace CLI security rules enforce best practices for handling secrets, confirming destructive actions, and using dry-run and sanitize flags. These rules ensure safe API interactions and protect sensitive workspace data.
