Is there a way to use gam csv to remove the alias email of groups?

Would that work through csv commands as well? I know for users there needs to be a target type "User". Can I just change that to say "Group" and it would work just the same?

Cuthbert,

You can specify user|group in delete alias but it's ignored.
gam delete alias [user|group] group...@domain.com

If you have a CSV file (GroupAliases.csv) with a column alias you can say
gam csv GroupAliases.csv gam delete alias "~alias"

Hi Ross,

I am struggling to get this cmd to work for me gam delete alias alia...@domain.com group gr...@domain.com 

It says ERROR: Extra arguments

I believe Ross knows better than I do at this point, but the GAM documentation doesn't have any targets.

gam delete alias <alias>
or
gam csv aliases.csv gam delete alias ~alias

I don't believe you need to specify a user or group.  But I could be mistaken.
