Indicate if a customer is attesting about the correctness of provided information. Only required if creating a GCP Entitlement. NOTE: This field will be mandatory for all new GCP customers starting Aug 31st, 2026 and this field will also be required for all existing customers purchasing new GCP Entitlements. - `cloudIdentityId` string — Output only. The customer's Cloud Identity ID if the customer has a Cloud Identity resource. - `orgDisplayName` string — Required. Name of the organization that the customer entity represents. - `updateTime` string, google-datetime — Output only. Time when the customer was updated. - `correlationId` string — Optional. External CRM ID for the customer. Populated only if a CRM ID exists for this customer. - `orgPostalAddress` GoogleTypePostalAddress — Represents a postal address, such as for postal delivery or payments addresses. With a postal address, a postal service can deliver items to a premise, P.O. box, or similar. A postal address is not intended to model geographical locations like roads, towns, or mountains. In typical usage, an address would be created by user input or from importing existing data, depending on the type of process. Advice on address input or editing: - Use an internationalization-ready address widget such as https://github.com/google/libaddressinput. - Users should not be presented with UI elements for input or editing of fields outside countries where that field is used. For more guidance on how to use this schema, see: https://support.google.com/business/answer/6397478. - `languageCode` string — Optional. BCP-47 language code of the contents of this address (if known). This is often the UI language of the input form or is expected to match one of the languages used in the address' country/region, or their transliterated equivalents. This can affect formatting in certain countries, but is not critical to the correctness of the data and will never affect any validation or other non-formatting related operations. If this value is not known, it should be omitted (rather than specifying a possibly incorrect default). Examples: "zh-Hant", "ja", "ja-Latn", "en". - `sortingCode` string — Optional. Additional, country-specific, sorting code. This is not used in most regions. Where it is used, the value is either a string like "CEDEX", optionally followed by a number (for example, "CEDEX 7"), or just a number alone, representing the "sector code" (Jamaica), "delivery area indicator" (Malawi) or "post office indicator" (Côte d'Ivoire). - `regionCode` string — Required. CLDR region code of the country/region of the address. This is never inferred and it is up to the user to ensure the value is correct. See https://cldr.unicode.org/ and https://www.unicode.org/cldr/charts/30/supplemental/territory_information.html for details. Example: "CH" for Switzerland. - `organization` string — Optional. The name of the organization at the address. - `postalCode` string — Optional. Postal code of the address. Not all countries use or require postal codes to be present, but where they are used, they may trigger additional validation with other parts of the address (for example, state or zip code validation in the United States). - `addressLines` string[] — Unstructured address lines describing the lower levels of an address. Because values in `address_lines` do not have type information and may sometimes contain multiple values in a single field (for example, "Austin, TX"), it is important that the line order is clear. The order of address lines should be "envelope order" for the country or region of the address. In places where this can vary (for example, Japan), `address_language` is used to make it explicit (for example, "ja" for large-to-small ordering and "ja-Latn" or "en" for small-to-large). In this way, the most specific line of an address can be selected based on the language. The minimum permitted structural representation of an address consists of a `region_code` with all remaining information placed in the `address_lines`. It would be possible to format such an address very approximately without geocoding, but no semantic reasoning could be made about any of the address components until it was at least partially resolved. Creating an address only containing a `region_code` and `address_lines` and then geocoding is the recommended way to handle completely unstructured addresses (as opposed to guessing which parts of the address should be localities or administrative areas). - `sublocality` string — Optional. Sublocality of the address. For example, this can be a neighborhood, borough, or district. - `revision` integer — The schema revision of the `PostalAddress`. This must be set to 0, which is the latest revision. All new revisions **must** be backward compatible with old revisions. - `administrativeArea` string — Optional. Highest administrative subdivision which is used for postal addresses of a country or region. For example, this can be a state, a province, an oblast, or a prefecture. For Spain, this is the province and not the autonomous community (for example, "Barcelona" and not "Catalonia"). Many countries don't use an administrative area in postal addresses. For example, in Switzerland, this should be left unpopulated. - `locality` string — Optional. Generally refers to the city or town portion of the address. Examples: US city, IT comune, UK post town. In regions of the world where localities are not well defined or do not fit into this structure well, leave `locality` empty and use `address_lines`. - `recipients` string[] — Optional. The recipient at the address. This field may, under certain circumstances, contain multiline information. For example, it might contain "care of" information. - `languageCode` string — Optional. The BCP-47 language code, such as "en-US" or "sr-Latn". For more information, see https://www.unicode.org/reports/tr35/#Unicode_locale_identifier. - `channelPartnerId` string — Cloud Identity ID of the customer's channel partner. Populated only if a channel partner exists for this customer. - `alternateEmail` string — Secondary contact email. You need to provide an alternate email to create different domains if a primary contact email already exists. Users will receive a notification with credentials when you create an admin.google.com account. Secondary emails are also recovery email addresses. Alternate emails are optional when you create Team customers. - `domain` string — Required. The customer's primary domain. Must match the primary contact email's domain. - `cloudIdentityInfo` GoogleCloudChannelV1CloudIdentityInfo — Cloud Identity information for the Cloud Channel Customer. - `alternateEmail` string — The alternate email. - `customerType` 'CUSTOMER_TYPE_UNSPECIFIED' | 'DOMAIN' | 'TEAM' — CustomerType indicates verification type needed for using services. - `languageCode` string — Language code. - `primaryDomain` string — Output only. The primary domain name. - `phoneNumber` string — Phone number associated with the Cloud Identity. - `isDomainVerified` boolean — Output only. Whether the domain is verified. This field is not returned for a Customer's cloud_identity_info resource. Partners can use the domains.get() method of the Workspace SDK's Directory API, or listen to the PRIMARY_DOMAIN_VERIFIED Pub/Sub event in to track domain verification of their resolve Workspace customers. - `adminConsoleUri` string — Output only. URI of Customer's Admin console dashboard. - `eduData` GoogleCloudChannelV1EduData — Required Edu Attributes - `website` string — Web address for the edu customer's institution. - `instituteSize` 'INSTITUTE_SIZE_UNSPECIFIED' | 'SIZE_1_100' | 'SIZE_101_500' | 'SIZE_501_1000' | 'SIZE_1001_2000' | 'SIZE_2001_5000' | 'SIZE_5001_10000' | 'SIZE_10001_OR_MORE' — Size of the institute. - `instituteType` 'INSTITUTE_TYPE_UNSPECIFIED' | 'K12' | 'UNIVERSITY' — Designated institute type of customer. - `name` string — Output only. Resource name of the customer.
