Error 403 when running GAM line to delete users

[Chris Ericson]

When using the command line to delete users in a .csv or .txt file, It runs correct, but it errors out for each user:

Error 403: Not Authorized to access this resource/api - forbidden.

API is enabled; 

GAM line:   FOR /F %A IN (classof2013.csv) DO gam.exe delete user %A

Are you specifying the user's full email address in the text file?

Yes. 

Do I need to delete the other columns of info? FN, LN, LastLogin, FirstLogin, Quota?

I figured it out. Ran the gam info domain command first

Hi Chris, what is that command line you are referring to? I'm looking to do this exact thing, delete multiple users at once using a csv file. 

Thanks!!

Hey Jason,

I've been using the linux command line below to bulk add members to a group from a csv file. Also, I added the gam install dir to my path.

xargs -a qryAllActivePastorEmail.csv -I % gam.py update group <group email address> add member %

Hope This Helps,

I use PowerShell at my organization and use the following:

Param(
    [parameter(Mandatory=$true)]
    [alias("f")]
    $file)

$list = Import-Csv $file
foreach($entry in $list) {
    .\gam.exe delete user "$($entry.username)"
  }

I have this saved as "delete_users.ps1" and I run it through powershell like the following: .\delete_users.ps1 users.csv
