I ran a script just a couple weeks ago and updated profile pictures of all students. It worked just fine, I realized that I had an OU that I forgot to remove their permission to change so I went back to update them again. I can not get the photo to update. Even a basic gam user X...@X.com update photo and the path to the photo shows success, but will not set. I updated GAM7 to make sure that nothing changed. Can someone test and verify if Google changed something and broke it, or if I'm doing something wrong?
Thanks.

Solution found, had to delete the photo first - Gam user X...@x.com delete photo. After it was deleted, I could replace it. Thanks Ross for the help!

As of version 7.34.09, `gam <UserTypeEntity> update photo` was updated to delete the user's existing photo
before performing the update as the API update will succeed but not replace a user's existing self-set photo.
