imporating external contacts via CSV into the directory using GAM

[Daniel König]

Hi all,

I'm trying to import a CSV file which contains contacts into the Google Workspace directory using GAM.

I tried the following command, but I'm not sure if it was the correct one, as I received an error message afterwards:

gam csv contacts.csv gam create user "~email" firstname "~firstname" lastname "~lastname"

The error message:
ERROR: 403: Not Authorized to access this resource/api - forbidden

My GAM setup should have all scopes, as I selected everything during the initial setup.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Your subject says that you're trying to create external contacts but your command is trying to create workspace users.

If you're trying to create Domain Shared Contacts see: https://github.com/taers232c/GAMADV-XTD3/wiki/Domain-SharedContacts-GAL#create-domain-shared-contacts

gam csv contacts.csv gam create contact email work "~email" primary firstname "~firstname" lastname "~lastname"

Hi Ross,

Thanks for getting back to me. When I try this, I receive the following error:

ERROR: contact is not a valid argument for "gam create"

Is it possible that the gam command itself is wrong, as it contains "gam" twice?

You're running Standard GAM, not Advanced GAM, you must upgrade.

See: https://github.com/taers232c/GAMADV-XTD3/wiki/How-to-Upgrade-from-Standard-GAM
