Bulk import users to a specific OU

[Ryan Bahten]

Hello, first time user of GAM so thanks in advance for your help and patience.

I'd like to add a small group of new users (about 30) to a specific sub-OU in our domain. I've got GAM functional (I can use terminal.app to create a single new user and place them in a specific OU) but I'd like to be able to import a group of users and I haven't been able to figure out a way to do it yet.

Any direction or suggestions would be very much appreciated. Thanks!

Create a CSV with the specific info needed (username, firstname, lastname, password, email, org), then create a  BASH script similar to this.

#!/bin/bash

OLDIFS=$IFS

IFS=,

while read username firstname lastname password email org 

do

python gam.py create user $username firstname $firstname lastname $lastname password $password org $org

ECHO=$username

ECHO=""

done < PATHTOYOUR.csv

IFS=$OLDIFS

Just wanted to update this post to say that I got it work using GAM 3.1 and the following command:

gam csv /PATHTOUSERS.csv gam create user \$email firstname \$firstname lastname \$lastname password \$password org \$org

And I should have stated this before but I'm running this on OSX 10.9.3, just for reference.

Very nice.  +! to you sir.

I have not seen where you can run a GAM command and point it at a CSV.  I am still using bash scripts to point to the csv file.
