We recently announced that we’re extending the Gmail API to bring G Suite developers new ways to manage the Gmail delegate settings of users in G Suite. These new features will allow G Suite admins to authorize apps that can then add, view, and delete Gmail delegates within their organizations.

Once set up, a Gmail delegate can read, send, and delete messages, as well as view and add contacts, on behalf of another user in their organization. For example, an admin can now use the Gmail API to grant an administrative assistant access to the Gmail of an executive they work with.

You can read more about these capabilities in our post on the G Suite blog.
