Add users to groups

Add each user in <UserTypeEntity> to all of the groups specified by ([<GroupRole>] <GroupEntity>)+. If <GroupRole> is not specified, member is assumed.

gam <UserTypeEntity> add group|groups
        ([<GroupRole>] [[delivery] <DeliverySetting>] <GroupEntity>)+

Basic Example

Add a user to several groups with different roles.

$ gam user testuser1@domain.com add groups owner testgroup1@domain.com manager testgroup2@domain.com member testgroup3@domain.com,testgroup4@domain.com
User: testuser1@domain.com, Add to 4 Groups
  Group: testgroup1@domain.com, Owner: testuser1@domain.com, Added (1/4)
  Group: testgroup2@domain.com, Manager: testuser1@domain.com, Added (2/4)
  Group: testgroup3@domain.com, Member: testuser1@domain.com, Added (3/4)
  Group: testgroup4@domain.com, Member: testuser1@domain.com, Added (4/4)

Advanced Example

Use a CSV file to specify users, groups and roles.

Delete users from groups

gam <UserTypeEntity> delete group|groups
        [(domain <DomainName>)|(customerid <CustomerID>)|
         (emailmatchpattern [not] <RegularExpression>)|<GroupEntity>]

By default, users will be deleted from all groups of which they are a member, these options allow selection of subsets of groups:

  • domain <DomainName> - Delete from all groups in the domain <DomainName> of which they are a member
  • customerid <CustomerID> - For resellers, delete from all groups in a resold workspace of which they are a member
  • emailmatchpattern [not] <RegularExpression> - Delete from all groups of which they are a member based on (not) matching the group email address
  • <GroupEntity> - Delete from a specific list of groups

Basic Examples

Delete a user from all groups to which it belongs.

$ gam user testuser1@domain.com delete groups
User: testuser1@domain.com, Delete from 4 Groups
  Group: testgroup1@domain.com, Member: testuser1@domain.com, Deleted (1/4)
  Group: testgroup2@domain.com, Member: testuser1@domain.com, Deleted (2/4)
  Group: testgroup3@domain.com, Member: testuser1@domain.com, Deleted (3/4)
  Group: testgroup4@domain.com, Member: testuser1@domain.com, Deleted (4/4)

Delete users from all groups to which they belong. Assume a CSV file NoGroupsUsers.csv with a column labelled primaryEmail that lists the users.

gam csv NoGroupsUsers.csv gam user "~primaryEmail" delete groups

Advanced Example

Use a CSV file to specify users and groups.

# Current state
$ gam csvkmd users UserGroupRole.csv keyfield User print groups

Delete external user from groups

There is a user from outside of your domain that you would like to delete from all groups.

$ gam user user@external.com delete groups
User: user@external.com, Delete from 0 Groups

There is a Goggle issue that causes this to fail for a few external addresses. To solve this problem, you need the unique ID for the external address; the following steps show how to do this.

Create a test group.

$ gam create group testexternal description "Test External Email Addresses"
Group: testexternal@domain.com, Created

Add the external address to that group.

$ gam update group testexternal add member user@external.com
Group: testexternal@domain.com, Add 1 Member
  Group: testexternal@domain.com, Member: user@external.com, Added: Role: MEMBER

Print the group members of the group to get the unique ID of the external address.

$ gam print group-members group testexternal
Getting all Members, Managers, Owners for testexternal@domain.com
group,type,role,id,status,email
testexternal@domain.com,USER,MEMBER,123406166545652215678,,user@external.com

Delete the external address from all groups.

$ gam user uid:123406166545652215678 delete groups
User: 123406166545652215678, Delete from 2 Groups
  Group: testexternal@domain.com, Member: 123406166545652215678, Deleted (1/2)
  Group: testgroup@domain.com, Member: 123406166545652215678, Deleted (2/2)

Update users group roles and delivery settings

For each user in <UserTypeEntity> update their current group role and delivery settings.

gam <UserTypeEntity> update group|groups
        [(domain <DomainName>)|(customerid <CustomerID>)]) [<GroupRole>] [[delivery] <DeliverySetting>]
        ([<GroupRole>] [[delivery] <DeliverySetting>] [<GroupEntity>])*

By default, update user roles and delivery settings for all groups of which they are a member, these options allow selection of subsets of groups:

  • domain <DomainName> - Update user role and delivery settings for all groups in the domain <DomainName> of which they are a member
  • customerid <CustomerID> - For resellers, update user role and delivery settings for all groups in a resold workspace of which they are a member
  • <GroupEntity> - Update user role and delivery settings for a specific list of groups; you can specify different roles and delivery settings for different group lists

Synchronize users group membership

For each user in <UserTypeEntity> get their current group membership and do adds and deletes as necessary to match ([<GroupRole>] <GroupEntity>)+. If <GroupRole> is not specified, member is assumed.

gam <UserTypeEntity> sync group|groups
        [(domain <DomainName>)|(customerid <CustomerID>)]
        [<GroupRole>] [[delivery] <DeliverySetting>] <GroupEntity>)*

By default, users will be synchronized with all groups of which they are a member, these options allow selection of subsets of groups:

  • domain <DomainName> - Synchronize with all groups in the domain <DomainName> of which they are a member
  • customerid <CustomerID> - For resellers, synchronize with all groups in a resold workspace of which they are a member

Check users group membership

For each user in <UserTypeEntity> check if they are members of the groups in <GroupEntity> with a role in role <GroupsRoleList>; if not specified, any role is acceptable.

gam <UserTypeEntity> check group|groups
        [roles <GroupRoleList>] [includederivedmembership] [csv] <GroupEntity>

By default, only direct membership is checked; include the includederivedmembership to check if a user is a member of a group or one of its sub-groups.

By default, the output is indented keys and values written to stdout; use the csv option to write the output to a CSV file.

A return code of 0 indicates that a user is a member of all of the groups with an acceptable role; a return code of 29 indicates that the user is not a member of all of the groups.

Display users group membership

It takes one API call to get the list of groups to which a user belongs.

Display group names as an indented list

Display group addresses in CSV format

There is one row per user showing the number and list of groups to which a user directly belongs.

gam <UserTypeEntity> print groupslist [todrive <ToDriveAttribute>*]
        [(domain <DomainName>)|(customerid <CustomerID>)]
        [delimiter <Character>] [quotechar <Character>]

By default, all groups to which a member belongs are displayed, these options allow selection of subsets of groups:

  • domain <DomainName> - Limit display to groups in the domain <DomainName> of which they are a member
  • customerid <CustomerID> - For resellers, display all groups in a resold workspace of which they are a member

By default, the entries in lists of groups are separated by the csv_output_field_delimiter' from gam.cfg`.

  • delimiter <Character> - Separate list items with <Character>

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. 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.

Display groups and their parents

Display a user's groups and their parents as an indented list.

gam <UserTypeEntity> show grouptree
        [(domain <DomainName>)|(customerid <CustomerID>)]
        [roles <GroupRoleList>]

By default, all groups to which a member belongs are displayed, these options allow selection of subsets of groups:

  • domain <DomainName> - Limit display to groups in the domain <DomainName> of which they are a member
  • customerid <CustomerID> - For resellers, display all groups in a resold workspace of which they are a member

By default, all of a users's groups are displayed without role information. Displaying role information requires an additional API call per user/group combination.

  • roles <GroupRoleList> - Display groups with role information where the user has one of the specified roles

Display a user's groups and their parents in CSV format.

gam <UserTypeEntity> print grouptree [todrive <ToDriveAttribute>*]
        [(domain <DomainName>)|(customerid <CustomerID>)]
        [roles <GroupRoleList>]
        [showparentsaslist [<Boolean>]] [delimiter <Character>]

By default, all groups to which a member belongs are displayed, these options allow selection of subsets of groups:

  • domain <DomainName> - Limit display to groups in the domain <DomainName> of which they are a member
  • customerid <CustomerID> - For resellers, display all groups in a resold workspace of which they are a member

By default, all of a users's groups are displayed without role information. Displaying role information requires an additional API call per user/group combination.

  • roles <GroupRoleList> - Display groups with role information where the user has one of the specified roles

By default, the group parent emails and names are displayed in multiple indexed columns. Use options showparentsaslist [<Boolean>] and delimiter <Character> to display the group parent emails and names in two columns as delimited lists .
