gd_user: Retrieve information about the current Google user

Description

Retrieve information about the Google user that has authorized googlesheets to call the Drive and Sheets APIs on their behalf. As long as full = FALSE (the default), only the most useful subset of the information available from the "about" endpoint of the Drive API is returned. This is also the information exposed in the print method:

Usage

gd_user(full = FALSE, verbose = TRUE)


gs_user(full = FALSE, verbose = TRUE)

Arguments

full
Logical, indicating whether to return selected (FALSE, the default) or full (TRUE) user information.
verbose
logical; do you want informative messages?

Value

an object of S3 class `drive_user`, which is just a list

Details

  • User's display name
  • User's email
  • Date-time of user info lookup
  • User's permission ID
  • User's root folder ID

When full = TRUE, all information provided by the API is returned.
