Last year, we announced the ability to create spaces, memberships, group chats, and more using the Google Chat API. 

Today, we’re excited to introduce enhanced membership management using the Chat API. Specifically, you can now use the Chat API to promote space members to space managers. 

Admins: Use the API controls in Admin Console if you want to restrict access to Google Chat data. Developers: Visit this Developer Resource to learn more about updating a user’s membership in a Google Chat space. 

This feature is available now. 

Available to all Google Workspace customers
