Assign all users in an OU to a group

[Paul Wood]

Is there a way to assign all users in an OU to a google group? I
thought this would be easy. The only way I can see to do it, is get
the list of users email address from the OU using gam, then use that
to assign them to a group.

Is that correct?

[Oliver Hartley]

yep that is correct.... it should be tow accions with gam, get the user from OU the update user into a group....

Is there a way I could bash script this?  All my users are sorted into correct OUs and I would like to use that ability to manage my users.

We have a couple of people that manage users and they manage to put the into the correct OU's but forget to update their group status.  I would like to be able to loop through once a month and update a users group based on their OU.

Thanks,

If you are on EDU or Premier editions, then just setup GADS (Google
Apps Directory Sync). It's free. Run it whenever you want (or set it
on a schedule).

Yeah, we use GADs and it works perfectly if you want to automatically
put an OU into an gapp org. You could even do it once to get the bulk
of your users and then stop using it.

When I say OU, I'm talking about Google's OU, not AD.

Thanks for the quick feedback, It's reaffirms what needs to be done.

If all you are trying to do is update group membership based on OU you can do it with a simple bash loop.
let say you want all users in OU - students to be in group students you can do :

for u in `gam print users ou | grep students | awk -F, '{print $2}'` ; do
 gam update group student add member $u
done

of course it would need some tweaking but the idea is the same.
