    spaceType : Only supports changing a GROUP_CHAT space type to SPACE . Include displayName together with spaceType in the update mask and ensure that the specified space has a non-empty display name and the SPACE space type. Including the spaceType mask and the SPACE type in the specified space when updating the display name is optional if the existing space already has the SPACE type.

If the existing space has a target audience, you can remove the audience and restrict space access by omitting a value for this field mask. To update access settings for a space, the authenticating user must be a space manager and omit all other field masks in your request. You can't update this field if the space is in import mode . To learn more, see Make a space discoverable to specific users . accessSettings.audience is not supported with useAdminAccess .
