GAM command to hide directory sharing for one OU?

[Justin York]

Hi there, I'm trying to hide Directory Sharing for one OU so I can leave it on for everybody else. I am typing:

gam print users query "orgnamehere/userouhere=" | gam csv - gam update user "~primaryEmail" gal off

And I get the error:

User Print Failed: Query (orgnamehere/userouhere=) Invalid

[Ross Scroggs]

Drop the orgnamehere: gam ou "/userouhere" update user gal off

Thank you very much. Is that the entire command I need? I don't need the " | gam csv" part?

[Justin York]

Hmm, I can still see that students can see other student's contact cards. is there another command in GAM that might be more thorough in stopping student's from viewing other student's email addresses?

Correct. Just use the correct OU name.
