gplay-user-management（gplay 用户管理）

User & Grant Management

Use this skill when you need to manage users and their permissions in Google Play Console.

Preconditions

• Ensure credentials are set (gplay auth login or GPLAY_SERVICE_ACCOUNT env var).
• Service account needs "Admin" permission to manage users and grants.
• Developer account ID is required for user operations.

User Management

List all users

gplay users list \
  --developer-id DEVELOPER_ID

List users with pagination

gplay users list \
  --developer-id DEVELOPER_ID \
  --paginate

List users as table

gplay users list \
  --developer-id DEVELOPER_ID \
  --output table

Create a new user

gplay users create \
  --developer-id DEVELOPER_ID \
  --email user@example.com \
  --role admin

Create user with specific permissions

gplay users create \
  --developer-id DEVELOPER_ID \
  --email user@example.com \
  --role custom \
  --permissions "VIEW_APP_INFORMATION,MANAGE_STORE_LISTING"

Update a user

gplay users update \
  --developer-id DEVELOPER_ID \
  --email user@example.com \
  --role viewer

Delete a user

gplay users delete \
  --developer-id DEVELOPER_ID \
  --email user@example.com \
  --confirm

Grant Management

Grants control app-level access for users.

Create a grant (give user access to an app)

gplay grants create \
  --developer-id DEVELOPER_ID \
  --email user@example.com \
  --package com.example.app \
  --permissions "VIEW_APP_INFORMATION,VIEW_FINANCIAL_DATA"

Update a grant (change permissions)

gplay grants update \
  --developer-id DEVELOPER_ID \
  --email user@example.com \
  --package com.example.app \
  --permissions "VIEW_APP_INFORMATION,MANAGE_STORE_LISTING,MANAGE_RELEASES"

Delete a grant (revoke app access)

gplay grants delete \
  --developer-id DEVELOPER_ID \
  --email user@example.com \
  --package com.example.app \
  --confirm

Workflow Examples

Onboard a new team member

# 1. Create user account
gplay users create \
  --developer-id 1234567890 \
  --email newdev@example.com \
  --role custom \
  --permissions "VIEW_APP_INFORMATION"

# 2. Grant access to specific apps
gplay grants create \
  --developer-id 1234567890 \
  --email newdev@example.com \
  --package com.example.app1 \
  --permissions "VIEW_APP_INFORMATION,MANAGE_RELEASES"

gplay grants create \
  --developer-id 1234567890 \
  --email newdev@example.com \
  --package com.example.app2 \
  --permissions "VIEW_APP_INFORMATION,MANAGE_STORE_LISTING"

Offboard a team member

# Revoke all access by deleting the user
gplay users delete \
  --developer-id 1234567890 \
  --email departed@example.com \
  --confirm

Audit current permissions

# List all users in table format
gplay users list \
  --developer-id 1234567890 \
  --paginate \
  --output table

Promote user to release manager

gplay grants update \
  --developer-id 1234567890 \
  --email dev@example.com \
  --package com.example.app \
  --permissions "VIEW_APP_INFORMATION,MANAGE_RELEASES,MANAGE_STORE_LISTING"

Best Practices

1. Principle of least privilege - Grant only the permissions each user needs.
2. Use app-level grants - Prefer grants over account-level roles for fine-grained control.
3. Audit regularly - Periodically review users and their permissions.
4. Offboard promptly - Remove users immediately when they leave the team.
5. Use --confirm carefully - Delete operations are irreversible.
6. Automate onboarding - Script user creation and grant assignment for consistency.
