Latest updates
Added formatjson to gam info|show resoldsubscriptions and formatjson [quotechar <Character>]
to gam print resoldsubscriptions.
Handle the following error as retryable when managing user's contacts:
ERROR: API access Denied
Added option addcsvdata <FieldName> <String> to gam create drivefile ... csv. This adds
additional columns of data to the CSV file output. For example, you are building student folders
on a Shared Drive as an admin and want to add ACLs to the folders allowing the student write access
and you want a shortcut on the student's My Drive pointing to the folder. By adding the student's
primary email address to the CSV output, it can be used in subsequent commands.
Students.csv
primaryEmail,Name
bob@domain.com,Bob Jones
mary@domain.com, Mary Smith
...
# Create the student folders on the Shared Drive
gam redirect csv ./StudentFolders.csv multiprocess csv Students.csv gam user admin@domain.com create drivefile mimetype gfolder drivefilena\
me "~~Name~~ Digital Portfolio" parentid <TeamDriveID> csv addcsvdata primaryEmail "~primaryEmail"
# Add ACLs granting the students write access to their folders; ~User refers to admin@domain.com
gam csv StudentFolders.csv gam user "~User" add drivefileacl "~id" user "~primaryEmail" role writer
# Add a shortcut to the folder on the student's My Drive
gam csv StudentFolders.csv gam user "~primaryEmail" create drivefileshortcut "~id" parentid root
Handle the following error in gam move drivefile:
ERROR: 400: crossDomainMoveRestriction - Bad Request. User message: "crossDomainMoveRestriction"
Improved error messages when an unknown contact ID is used in a command.
Use Python library pathvalidate to clean up filenames in gam get drivefile|document.
If you are using the source verson of GAMADV-XTD3, do the following command to update your Python libraries.
pip install --upgrade -r src/requirements.txt
Updated gam sync devices to include the assetTag field, if specified, as part of the device
comparison key in addition to serialNmmber and deviceType.
Fixed bug in gam create device that caused a trap.
Updated gam print|show chromeapps|chromedevices|chromeversions to handle the following error.
ERROR: 503: serviceNotAvailable - The service is currently unavailable.
GAM now uses the People API to manage user contacts rather than the Contacts API.
Most commands will work unchanged but Google has completely changed how the data is presented. If you
have scripts that process the output from print contacts for example, they will have to be changed.
You might want to keep an older version of GAM available so you can compare the output from the two
versions and make adjustments as necessary.
This is work in progress, report issues/problems.
