Empty password when retrieving users from UserFeed with Google Apps API

I am trying to retrieve all user accounts in my domain using Google apps api with .net!

But the problem is: the UserEntry.Login.Password is alway empty.

Is it possible to retrieve users with their password using the api? If not, is there a solution to login into the user's Gmail using domain admin password?

Thank you!

Solution

  • No. User passwords are not returned by the API. An Administrator can update the user password but cannot retrieve it.
