For Agents
Assign, update, list, and revoke Google Workspace product licenses for users in a customer. Use for onboarding, offboarding, and bulk license operations.
Use for: Assign a Google Workspace Business Standard license to a new hire, Revoke the license from a departing employee, I need to change a user from Business Starter to Business Standard, List every user assigned a specific Workspace SKU
Not supported: Does not create users, manage groups, change billing, or transfer Workspace data - use only to assign, change, list, or revoke product/SKU licenses for existing users.
The Enterprise License Manager API lets Google Workspace administrators assign, change, and revoke product licenses for users in a customer they manage. It exposes operations to insert a license assignment, get or update an assignment, list assignments by product or by product and SKU, and delete an assignment. The API is the programmatic equivalent of the Apps Admin licensing console and is essential for automating onboarding, role changes, and offboarding at scale.
Install Jentic One Beta
Connect the Enterprise License Manager API to your agent
Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the Enterprise License Manager API, or any other public or private API you need. You set the rules, the agent never sees your credentials, and every call is logged.
Two steps, two machines. Install the instance in a safe environment, then register your agent from wherever it runs.

Step 1: Jentic One Host machine
# On the machine that will host your Jentic One instance:
curl -fsSL "https://jentic.com/install.sh?src=apis&api=%2Fapis%2Fgoogleapis.com%2Flicensing" | sh2
Step 2: Agent machine
# On the machine where your agent runs (keep this separate from the instance):
curl -fsSL "https://jentic.com/install.sh?src=apis&api=%2Fapis%2Fgoogleapis.com%2Flicensing" | sh
jentic register # connects your agent to your Jentic One instanceJentic One is in public beta. The setup above keeps your agent separate from the instance, which is what you want before using real credentials: an agent running as the same OS user as Jentic One can read its stored keys directly. Just evaluating? A single local install is fine to start. See the secure deployment guide for the tiers.
Capabilities
What an agent can do with Enterprise License Manager API.
Assign a Workspace product SKU license to a specific user
List all license assignments under a product across all SKUs
List license assignments for a specific product and SKU
Retrieve the current license assignment for one user
Reassign a user from one SKU to another with patch or update
Remove a user's license when they leave the organization
Use Cases
Patterns agents use Enterprise License Manager API for, with concrete tasks.
★ Automated user onboarding
When HR creates a new employee in the source system, an automation calls POST /apps/licensing/v1/product/{productId}/sku/{skuId}/user to assign the appropriate Workspace SKU. Combining this with the Admin SDK to provision the account gives a one-call onboarding flow that finishes before the employee's first day.
Call POST /apps/licensing/v1/product/Google-Apps/sku/Google-Apps-Business/user with body {"userId": "jane@example.com"} and confirm the response includes a productId and skuId.
License audit and reclamation
License assignments that are not actively used cost money. By calling GET /apps/licensing/v1/product/{productId}/sku/{skuId}/users to list every assignee under a SKU and cross-referencing with last login data from the Admin SDK, an agent can identify and revoke unused licenses with DELETE on the per-user endpoint.
List users assigned to Google-Apps-Business and DELETE the license for any user whose last login is older than 90 days.
SKU upgrade or downgrade
When a user's role changes - for example, a contractor becomes a full-time employee - their Workspace SKU often changes too. PATCH /apps/licensing/v1/product/{productId}/sku/{skuId}/user/{userId} updates the SKU in place, so the user keeps their data and inbox without dropping access.
Patch the assignment for user jane@example.com to change skuId from Google-Apps-Lite to Google-Apps-Business.
Offboarding via Jentic
On termination an offboarding agent needs to revoke licenses across every Workspace product the user holds. Using Jentic the agent lists products, then calls DELETE on each /apps/licensing/v1/product/{productId}/sku/{skuId}/user/{userId} path with no need to learn Google's nested URL structure.
Run google_licensing_revoke for the leaving user across all products and confirm each DELETE returns 204.

What agents get from Jentic-routed access to this vendor.
Setup
Wiring the Enterprise License Manager API by hand means configuring super-admin OAuth2 or a service account with domain-wide delegation, narrowing to the apps.licensing scope, refreshing tokens, and assembling its product, SKU, and user path segments yourself. Through Jentic you install once, import the Enterprise License Manager API from the API Directory, store the credential once, and your agent calls it.
Permission scoping
The product, SKU, and user ids travel in the URL path (/apps/licensing/v1/product/{productId}/sku/{skuId}/user/{userId}), so a rule can pin your agent to one product or SKU: it assigns and lists licenses for that SKU and nothing else. You choose the operations it may call, so a license revoke is not included unless you add it.
Credential isolation
Your super-admin OAuth or delegated service-account credential is stored once, encrypted, by your own Jentic One instance and injected at execution time as a short-lived apps.licensing access token. The underlying credential never enters the agent's prompt, logs, or context.
Intent-based discovery
Agents search Jentic by intent such as 'assign a workspace license' or 'list users with a sku', and Jentic returns the matching v1 operation with its productId, skuId, and userId templates so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.

FAQs
Specific to using Enterprise License Manager API through Jentic.
What authentication does the Enterprise License Manager API use?
OAuth 2.0 with the https://www.googleapis.com/auth/apps.licensing scope. Calls require a super-admin user or a service account with domain-wide delegation acting as a super-admin. Through Jentic the credentials are encrypted in the vault and the agent only sees a short-lived access token.
Which Workspace products and SKUs does the API support?
The API supports Google Workspace, G Suite Business, G Suite Basic, Google Vault, and Google Drive storage SKUs. The productId and skuId values are documented in the licensing API reference and must be passed exactly as defined.
What are the rate limits for the Enterprise License Manager API?
Google enforces a default of 600 read requests per minute and 240 write requests per minute per project. Bulk onboarding flows that exceed those limits should batch with exponential backoff on 429 responses.
How do I assign a license through Jentic?
Run jentic search 'assign a google workspace license to a user' to find POST /apps/licensing/v1/product/{productId}/sku/{skuId}/user, jentic load to retrieve its parameters, then jentic execute with productId, skuId, and the body containing userId. The response includes the new assignment object.
Can I list every user assigned to a specific SKU?
Yes. GET /apps/licensing/v1/product/{productId}/sku/{skuId}/users returns paginated assignments. The product-level GET /apps/licensing/v1/product/{productId}/users returns assignments across all SKUs of that product, which is useful for audits.
Is the Enterprise License Manager API free?
The API itself is free; you only pay for the underlying Workspace SKUs that get assigned. Quota is set at the Google Cloud project level.
Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the Enterprise License Manager API?
Yes. Because you self-host Jentic One, your own rules decide which of this API's operations the agent may call, so you can grant it assigning and listing licenses while withholding the DELETE revoke or the PATCH and PUT SKU changes. Since the productId, skuId, and userId all travel in the URL path, a rule can also pin the agent to a single product or SKU, letting it assign and list licenses for that SKU and nothing else. Your super-admin OAuth or delegated service-account credential stays with your instance and is injected only as a short-lived apps.licensing token at execution time, so the agent never sees the underlying secret.
