Google Apps SA Group Create Version 1

This handler uses the Google Admin SDK API library to create a new Google Group on your domain. Using a Service Account Email and the corresponding P12 file (see below for details about obtaining these values) to authenticate the handler against Google's API. If the input variables are verified to be legal, then the new group will be created using that information. If Google finds a duplicate group id during this process an exception will be thrown because group id's are required to be unique. If the group is successfully created, the specified owner will be assigned to the group with admin privileges. Any errors that occur during the posting process will be caught and re-raised by this handler.

• In order to use this handler, the account specified by the task info values needs to enable Admin SDK API in admin account.
