  },
  "enableDelegatedAdmin": boolean,

Fields
entitlement

object (Entitlement)

externalCorrelationId

string

Optional. An optional identifier in the external system that partners can use to correlate a Channel Services purchase transaction for the entitlement.
requestId

Optional. You can specify an optional unique request ID, and if you need to retry your request, the server will know to ignore the request if it's complete.

For example, you make an initial request and the request times out. If you make the request again with the same request ID, the server can check if it received the original operation with the same request ID. If it did, it will ignore the second request.

The request ID must be a valid UUID with the exception that zero UUID is not supported (00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000).

Optional Cloud Identity information for the customer. Used when placing the first order for Cloud Identity and Google Workspace products. Defaults to DOMAIN customerType. Deprecated: Call ProvisionCloudIdentity before creating an entitlement.
