In GSuite, creating a user or resetting a password gives you the option to notify the user by mail. The email contains a link where he can then set a new password.

Is there any way to reproduce that with googleapis ?

Can't find anything related to that in the reference api : https://developers.google.com/admin-sdk/directory/v1/reference/

The response from POST https://www.googleapis.com/admin/directory/v1/users doesn't seem to provide any information to create that link.

Thanks

What you can do is to [update the user's resource](https://developers.google.com/admin-sdk/directory/v1/reference/users/update) and set the option `changePasswordAtNextLogin` to `true`. – ziganotschka Feb 03 '20 at 12:03
For created accounts that means I need to send the user the password I chose right?@ziganotschka – David Nathanael Feb 03 '20 at 14:08

You can send a temporary password with the option that the user needs to change it after logging in for the first time. – ziganotschka Feb 03 '20 at 14:33
well i guess that's my only option... Thanks – David Nathanael Feb 03 '20 at 19:34
