I have a list of about 5 users and a list of about 30 calendars (I have the calendar IDs).  Looking for a command where I can add these users to the list of calendara all at same time.

Hi Don,

I mthink you should use this command:

gam calendar <Calendar Email Address> add acls writer <User Email Address> sendnotifications false


gam calendar <calendar email> add freebusy|read|editor|owner <user email> [sendnotifications true|false]

Don,

Make a flat file with one calendar id per row, let's call it CalendarList.txt

gam users user1,user2,...,user5 add calendars file CalendarList.txt

I am trying out this command, but it does not work.

gam ou "/Employees/Staff" add calendars file StaffCalendarList.txt selected true hidden false sendnotifications false

Send me a private Meet/Zoom invitation and we'll find/fix the problem.

Peter and I did a work-around but this is the simple fix. We needed the keyword calendars in front of the keyword file.

gam ou "/Employees/Staff" add calendars calendars file StaffCalendarList.txt selected true hidden false sendnotifications false
