Hi,

I am trying to send out Guardian invites to parent of students but it looks like the command only accept one email per student account.

For example:

gam create guardianinvite par...@mac.com stud...@lasdk8.org will send out google classroom invite email to par...@mac.com
gam create guardianinvite par...@mac.com stud...@lasdk8.org will result in "ERROR: 409: Requested entity already exists - alreadyExists"

is there a way to send out invite to multiple email? I don't see that option anywhere on the how to https://github.com/jay0lee/GAM/wiki/Managing-Google-Classroom#managing-guardians

any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

-Bao

Hi Ross,

Thanks for the reply! I think I might have figured this out. I think the invite that send to the same email address that is in Google classroom as "Pending" will get this error rejection.

So now, I have an issue that I thought I have cleared all the "Pending" invite but it did not go through with the  GAM Delete guardian command. When I try to search my whole OU for the status of the invite with the command of GAM print guardian invitations states PENDING ou "/Students" I get the error "ERROR: 403: The caller does not have permission - forbidden" and not sure what that means. I run the GAM user admin check serviceaccount and everything passes. Could you advise on that?

Also, what do you recommend for the command to clear all the Pending invite?

Thanks,

-Bao

Bao,

When you did: gam print guardian invitations states PENDING ou "/Students"
Was there any output before: "ERROR: 403: The caller does not have permission - forbidden"

What does this do: gam ou /Students print

Yes, there was input before then also after the Error 403. The error 403 pops up in between successful command.

I don't have access to run the game ou /Students print yet. I will let you know the result next Tuesday

the command gam ou /Student print yields:

Getting all Users in G Suite account that match query (orgUnitPath='/Students') (may take some time on a large account)...
Got 4739 Users...
2 Users are directly in the OU.
student***@lasdk8.org

We're testing this ourselves, and I'm pretty sure that error just means that student doesn't have a guardian yet.  

We get the same error, but our resulting csv file looks fine.

Was there ever a definitive way to add or send multiple guardian invites per student? I have students with two or more parents to add as guardians.

The only way I have seen is by making a csv and adding that through GAM, cant remember the exact steps but the is a guide on here. search 'multiple guardians' and it should be one of the ones that comes up
