Helper Objects

These helper objects make it easier to create and submit data to a GroupsClient. Additionally, they may be used in concert with the GroupsManager to perform operations.

These enums define values which can be passed to other helpers:

class globus_sdk.GroupMemberVisibility(value, names=None, *, module=None, qualname=None, type=None, start=1, boundary=None)

managers = 'managers'

members = 'members'

class globus_sdk.GroupRequiredSignupFields(value, names=None, *, module=None, qualname=None, type=None, start=1, boundary=None)

address = 'address'

address1 = 'address1'

address2 = 'address2'

city = 'city'

country = 'country'

current_project_name = 'current_project_name'

department = 'department'

field_of_science = 'field_of_science'

institution = 'institution'

phone = 'phone'

state = 'state'

zip = 'zip'

class globus_sdk.GroupRole(value, names=None, *, module=None, qualname=None, type=None, start=1, boundary=None)

admin = 'admin'

manager = 'manager'

member = 'member'

class globus_sdk.GroupVisibility(value, names=None, *, module=None, qualname=None, type=None, start=1, boundary=None)

authenticated = 'authenticated'

private = 'private'

Payload Types

A GroupPolicies object defines the various policies which can be set on a group. It can be used with the GroupsClient or the GroupsManager.

class globus_sdk.GroupPolicies(*, is_high_assurance: bool, group_visibility: GroupVisibility | Literal['authenticated', 'private'], group_members_visibility: GroupMemberVisibility | Literal['members', 'managers'], join_requests: bool, signup_fields: Iterable[GroupRequiredSignupFields | Literal['institution', 'current_project_name', 'address', 'city', 'state', 'country', 'address1', 'address2', 'zip', 'phone', 'department', 'field_of_science']], authentication_assurance_timeout: int | None = None)

An object used to represent the policy settings of a group. This may be used to set or modify group settings.

See also: API documentation on setting the policies for the group.
