Full steps to reproduce the issue:

gam info user


Expected outcome (what are you tryingto do?):

List the groups that the user owns


Actual outcome (what errors or bad behavior do you see instead?):

Gives a list of all the groups that the user belongs to, but no information on the role (owner, manager, member)

Karen,

I'm assuming you have a current version of Basic GAM:
Linux/Mac OS.

$ export GAM_CSV_ROW_FILTER='{"Owners": "regex:us...@domain.com"}'

$ gam print groups member us...@domain.com owners delimiter " "


On Windows

$ set GAM_CSV_ROW_FILTER={"Owners": "regex:user@domain,com"}

$ gam print groups member us...@domain.com owners delimiter " "


Substitute desired value for us...@domain.com

YES!!!! Worked like a Charm (Windows).  I extracted the section with the group names, number of owners, list of owners and converted the texts, delimited by commas, into columns in Excel.

Thank you Ross!

Hi Ross when I run this in the Cloud I don't seem to get the desired results, i.e. only showing the groups where the user is the owner.

I run export GAM_CSV_ROW_FILTER='{"Owners": "regex:<User Email Address>"}' then run gam print groups member <User Email Address> owners delimiter " " todrive.

The file it produces, shows email, OwnersCount & Owners, lists all the groups the user is in and then in the Owner column shows who the owner is, even if the owner is not the user or there are no owners. Admittedly It is easy to filter.

Cheers

James

James,

The form of the row filtering that you show is for Basic GAM, for Advanced GAM you would do:
gam config csv_output_row_filter '{"Owners": "regex:<User Email Address>"}' print groups member <User Email Address> owners delimiter " " todrive

As of version 4.86.05 you can do the following:
gam print groups showownedby <User Email Address> todrive
