Setting up GAM

Many steps to this process, it was setup and working for Izzy in late 2015

1. See directions here: https://github.com/jay0lee/GAM/wiki

2. Enable APIs (already done in 2015 & 2018) and create your client_secrets.json file: https://github.com/jay0lee/GAM/wiki/CreatingClientSecretsFile

3. My GAM folder is savd to Google here: https://drive.google.com/drive/u/1/folders/1LnVxfPtFAYoHefDycWYiW_LLQpFTY77c

Common Commands

Export All Groups to a file

gam print groups name description admin created id aliases members owners managers settings > groups.csv

Disabling All users in a file

• 1. Create text file with one user's email address, to be disabled, on each line

  2. Goto the folder where you have GAM setup

  3. Run this command: 

  4. FOR /F "tokens=*" %%A in (Users.txt) do gam update user  %%A suspended on

To Add all users in a file to the Ignition group:

After the accounts for the previous year have been disabled the Spark & Ignition groups should be "Reset" by removing all current members and then re-adding only those that are listed a Spark or Ignition (Ignition, Mission Control, or Ground Control) member in http://apourl.co/Users.

• 1. Remove all current users 1st, using the GUI https://admin.google.com/apogaea.com/AdminHome?hl=en&groupId=ignition@apogaea.com

     • This could be done with GAM but I haven't researched how to remove all members yet.

     • Using the GUI you can select only one page of users at a time to remove, so may have to repeat the removal process a few times.

  2. Run:

  3. For /F "tokens=*" %%A in (Ignition.txt) do gam update group Ignition@apogaea.com add %%A
