Salvete! I am new to gam and new to this forum. I have my gam working and my group settings enabled, so I can add groups and users as I like.
Now, I see here in the wiki that you can control who is able to post to the list, and can choose all_managers_can_post, however, I don't see any way to use gam to designate managers! I know that on the web-gui, if you go to the groups list, and in your group settings where the members show, you can change them from user to owner or manager. But I tried to add a user as manager using gam, but it didn't work.
Thus, you can do this: gam update group test add owner somebody
but not this: gam update group test add manager somebody
Am I missing something?

Ah, I just found this post. I guess that means I'm not missing anything. Too bad! What's the big difference between assigning a manager or assigning an owner anyway?

Owners have full rights to modify all settings of the group, managers are generally more limited to managing posts and members.

Okay, well, why can't we add a manager then via GAM?

The reason is in that thread you linked to. There's no Google API call to assign managers thus there's no way for GAM to do it.

Yes, I saw that there, but I was hoping things might have changed, or could change! Thanks for answering, however, Mr. Lee.
