Create classroom invitations

Invite users to classes.

gam <UserTypeEntity> create classroominvitation courses <CourseEntity> [role owner|student|teacher]
        [adminaccess|asadmin]
        [csv|csvformat] [todrive <ToDriveAttributes>*] [formatjson [quotechar <Character>]]

If role is not specified, student will be used.

You can only invite a co-teacher to be an owner of a course.

By default, classroom invitations are issued by the owner of the course, the adminaccess option causes the invitations to be issued by the admin named in oauth2.txt.

By default, when an invitation is created, GAM outputs details of the invitation as indented keywords and values.

• csv|csvformat [todrive <ToDriveAttribute>*] [formatjson [quotechar <Character>]] - Output the details in CSV format.

Example

Suppose you have a CSV file CourseStudent.csv with two columns: Course,Student. This command will invite all students to their courses serially by student.

gam redirect stdout ./Invites.out redirect stderr stdout csvkmd users CourseStudent.csv keyfield Student datafield Course create classroominvitation role student course csvdata Course

This command will invite all students to their courses in parallel

gam redirect stdout ./Invites.out multiprocess redirect stderr stdout multiprocess csv CourseStudent.csv gam user "~Student" create classroominvitation role student course "~Course"

By default, when writing CSV files, Gam uses a quote character of double quote ". The quote character is used to enclose columns that contain the quote character itself, the column delimiter (comma by default) and new-line characters. Any quote characters within the column are doubled. When using the formatjson option, double quotes are used extensively in the data resulting in hard to read/process output. The quotechar <Character> option allows you to choose an alternate quote character, single quote for instance, that makes for readable/processable output. quotechar defaults to gam.cfg/csv_output_quote_char. When uploading CSV files to Google, double quote " should be used.
