I tried searching but found nothing. If I missed something, please let me know if this has already been asked or solved.

We have been using gPanel for the last 3 years, and I'm now worried that GAM is not playing nice with it. 

1. I set up GAM 2 days ago and enjoy using it. 

2. Since setting it up, I've had random permissions issues pop up. 

a. A delegated account suddenly returned a 404 Forbidden error. When I went into GAM and mirrored the "delegate to" command, it worked.

b. A user that is the owner of a Google Group is reporting they don't have access to it now. When I look in G Suite, they are listed clearly as the owner. 

Those are the two reported instances In have. 

I'm worried I did something wrong, or that I've hindered gPanel as a tool. Is there some kind of issue with having two management consoles for G Suite,  or something I missed?

Is there documentation, just in case, on how to remove GAM cleanly from a G Suite environment? I don't want to do it, but just want to make sure I'm not interfering with the tool we already use. 

Thank you,

GAM doesn't ever do anything to your domain, unless you tell it to.
Meaning, you need to run it or schedule it for anything tio happen.
Installing GAM doesn't touch anything else, previously or subsequently installed.

You may have accidentally removed the necessary access from your gPanel, but that was most likely you and not GAM.

Go through the setup documentation of gPanel to make sure it's still configured correctly.
