GAM bulk account suspension CSV

[Henry Cook]

Hi,

Trying to bulk suspend users through gam using a CSV however not having much luck...

gam csv <File Name>.csv gam update user ~email suspended on

and have tried

gam csv <File Name>.csv gam update user ~user suspended on

any advice or guidance would be appreciated

Henry;

The syntax you show is absolutely correct for advanced gam.  Some questions, what does the csv file look like, what version of gam are you using, regular or advanced and what errors if any were reported.  

For advanced gam your csv file might look like this:

./suspend.csv:

email

us...@example.com

us...@example.com

...

Then the advanced gam command would be:

$> gam csv ./suspend.csv gam update user ~email suspended on

With GAMADV-XTD3 6.64.11, I get systematically the following error with that command:

% gam csv ./suspend.csv gam update user ~email suspended on

zsh: no such user or named directory: email

my csv file suspend.csv

email

a...@castilleja.org

d...@castilleja.org

My gam:

GAMADV-XTD3 6.64.11 - https://github.com/taers232c/GAMADV-XTD3 - pyinstaller

Thanks for the help

GAM's latest version is 6.67.29, although I don't think that's your problem.  I think the problem is that zsh is trying to expand ~email as a path, try quoting the argument

gam csv ./suspend.csv gam update user "~email" suspended on

yes quoting solved the problem.

Thanks

Use quotes, zsh is interpreting ~ as a reference to your home folder

 gam csv ./suspend.csv gam update user "~email" suspended on
