Hi.  I need to change a setting for a bunch of users on their primary calendars.  The setting "Internal sharing options for XYZ company"/"Access Permissions" needs to be set to "Only Free/Busy Information (Hide Details)" 
Can I set this tickbox using GAM?  what would be the command line argument?  

e.g. GAM Calendar us...@domain.com update .....?

Thanks in advance
Matt

gam calendar CalendarID add acls freebusyreader default

CalendarID for Primary calendars is the user's own email address.
You may have to replace add with update for users that already have the setting, or maybe add will take care of the update too.

I'm sure I ran this on an OU from Admin>G-Suite>Calendar>Sharing Settings>Set your requirements here.

Hi Ian,

I know we have "only free.busy information (hide events details) " option checked for internal primary calendars.

Issue is since users can change the settings themselves they uncheck the option under access permissions to make their calendar private, we were wondering if we could have a script in place running every morning which will make their calendar available for everyone in the organisation.

Now, i found the GAM command as shared below to make calendar public but was wondering is there a way we can run this for a sub-OU every day? We need this script in place just for one of our international offices and not everyone( i mean one sub-OU)

Any help would be appreciated.

Regards.

Hi,

I'm pretty new to GAM so more experienced users probably have a better way.. 

I have just done this is to enable freebusyreader for some users, first run a command to export a list of users in an OU to a csv 

gam print users allfields > users.csv

I then filtered the list to the OU needed. I wasn't able to export the OU I required as my OU names have gaps in them which I think is the reason I can't export a list of users in specific OU's. I could try to rename OU's but that would risk breaking scripts that already exist.

Then to modify the permissions I run the gam calendar command against the csv file which contains the names of the users I need.

gam csv stafftest.csv gam calendar ~Email update freebusyreader domain yourdomain.com

Regards
Chris

I'm pretty sure this should work.

gam ou /Path/to/Staff/OU print users allfields > staff.csv

gam csv staff.csv gam calendar ~Email update freebusyreader domain yourdomain.com

Kim,

Your command will only work in Advanced GAM; the following will work in Basic GAM.

gam print users query "orgUnitPath='/Path/to/Staff/OU'" allfields > staff.csv
