Accessing IM Field?

[Mschram72]

Is it possible to access the IM field under (Get-GSUSER -primaryemail [email protected]).IMS.IM ?

I can read the value, but cannot find a way to update it, or to create a new user with something in this field.

Hey @Mschram72 - I do believe you're correct in that it's not yet supported, but should be an easy one to add =]. Sanity checking to confirm right now, thanks for popping in on the other issue too!

[Mschram72]

Thanks so much :D !

Confirmed it does not exist yet! Should have this added in within the next couple days 💪

It will be added in as the IM parameter on New-GSUser and Update-GSUser and will have a helper function Add-GSUserIM to create the correct type. If you're comfortable with using .NET directly from PowerShell, you can bypass the helper function and instantiate the required type like so:

[Google.Apis.Admin.Directory.directory_v1.Data.UserIm]@{
    Im             = 'scrthq'
    Primary        = $true
    Type           = 'home'
    Protocol       = 'custom_protocol'
    CustomProtocol = 'twitter'
}

(that will still depend on the parameter being added to the New-GSUser and Update-GSUser functions though)
