What would be the best way to run a single command like this for all the sub-ou under it. There are 50 under this top level org for example.

gam ou "/Top OU" add calendar domain.com_skaI...@group.calendar.google.com selected true colorindex 3

thanks for that. seems to now be breaking at a suspended user. can notsuspended be used for example?

gam ou_and_children "/Top OU" add calendar notsuspended domain.com_skaIVTLKCojXbN2yNyEh@group.calendar.google.com selected true colorindex 3

Steve,

I can do something long term, in the short term do this:
1) gam ou_and_children "/Top OU" print > users.csv
2) edit users.csv and add a header row: User
3) gam csv users.csv gam user "~User" add calendar domain.com_skaIVTLKCojXbN2yNyEh...@group.calendar.google.com selected true color index 3

As each user is processed separately, the error won't stop you.

Steve,

I've updated my version of GAM to handle the error: https://github.com/taers232c/GAM/releases
Users with no calendar access get an error message but gam continues.
It's a drop-in replacement.

Error handling takes care of calendars already added too, I assume?
I mean, for when you run the command the second or twenty-third time.

Hi, Jay!

Did you use Ross' version of GAM?
I'm not sure regular GAM will manage this.

As far as I know I have the latest version of GAM, how can I check that?

Ross' GAM is not the same.
You can find it here.

Thank you, once I download this, should I just add it to my C:/gam folder?  I am not sure how to do this, I had a third-party company assist me with this in the past (amplified IT)

Thanks!

No, put it in a separate folder.
Like C: / GAMX

You can copy your two .json files to a folder called C: / Users / YourUser / .gam

Go to C: / GAMX
And then run ./gam create oauth

I think that should be enough.
