Jay,

Is there a method to see if a user has created a Google+ Profile using GAM?  
The only way I know to do this is user by user in the Admin panel.  Not a great option once you have more then 50 users.
If GAM currently does not support this, can it be added to a future release.

I also have the exact same problem. I am unable to find anything in the Wiki on GitHub.

Is there any update on this?

Dave, if so, how did you get around this issue?

Thanks.

Sam.

Bumping to see if there's anything on the user profile that would indicate if a user has this setup, i.e. tokens or anything...

Jay - any idea? I know in another post you mentioned that Google+ API itself isn't too useful for Admins since it's pretty limited in scope, but anything that's able to be pulled using Directory API or something along those lines?

Nate/Sam/Dave/others:

I've added this capability to GAM.
You say: gam <Users> show gplusprofile [todrive]
For example:
$ gam users testuser1,testuser2 show gplusprofile
Getting Gplus profile for test...@domain.com
Getting Gplus profile for test...@domain.com
id,circledByCount,displayName,gender,image.isDefault,image.url,isPlusUser,name.familyName,name.givenName,objectType,organizations.0.name,organizations.0.primary,organizations.0.title,organizations.0.type,placesLived.0.primary,placesLived.0.value,url,verified
118080758787650801331,0,Test User1,male,True,https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-fo2tvZuJnpg/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAAA/qHcWH1FBQuk/photo.jpg?sz=50,True,User1,Test,person,Test School,False,Volunteer,work,True,"Oakland, CA",https://plus.google.com/118080758787650801331,False
$
The column isPlusUser seems to contain the answer you want.

I've submitted this change to Jay, in the meantime, you can test it out here: https://github.com/taers232c/GAM/releases/tag/v3.66
In step 3.v, enable the Google+ API
In step 6.iii.d, add "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/plus.me" to the API scopes - Service Account list, then remove and re-add the authorization.

Let me know if this helps,

Ross

Working great, thanks a ton Ross!

To note, the API setup instructions on the GAM site actually do already include the G+ API's, so all that was needed was to reauth after replacing the program files =]

Is it possible to change or delete Goole+ Profiles with GAM?

I can run "gam user <user> show gplusprofile" and I get results.

But if I run "gam user <user> delete gplusprofile" it says "gplusprofile is not a valid  argument for gam delete"

Bumping up Rogers question.  I'm looking for a way to delete the image students selected as their profile picture.  If it can be a command, it can be a nightly scheduled task

Patrick/Roger,

Here is the Google+ API documentation: https://developers.google.com/+/web/api/rest/
GAM uses People.get.

There is no deleting/updating capability.
