Re: [GAM] Convert a traditional group to dynamic / Export all emails from a group and import in a new one

Alexis,

You can't convert a traditional group to a dynamic group and you can't manually add members to a dynamic group.

Get the orgUnitId of the OU of interest

gam create cigroup oug...@domain.com name "OU Group" description "Dynamic group with members from OU Test" dynamic "user.org_unit_id==orgUnitId('123h8a2z1floxyz')"

Hello,

I was wondering if it is possible to do the following using GAM.

I want to use the new dynamic group function on Google Workspace to automatically add users from an OU to a group.
It seems, according to Google, there is no possibility to "convert" a traditional group to a dynamic one. Is it possible with GAM?

If it is not, is there a command to export all emails from a group and import them in a new dynamic group?

Thank you,

Alexis

The only option that you can get messages out of a Google Group is using Google Vault (or using Vault API). You can use Jay's GYB (Got-Your-Back) to re-import the messages from mbox file using Groups Migration API.
