GAM Command Reset Passwords

[Randee Solano]

Is there a command to set a password for an OU? We are using a MAC.

Hi Randee,

Which version of GAM are you requesting this for?

Kind regards,

By setting a password on an OU, do you mean to set the same password for every user in the OU?

If so: gam ou "/Path/to/OU" update user password "pw1234"

Yes, it would be for all users to the same password in the OU. 

Thank you!

[Randee Solano]

Would this set the password as a temporary password, so the user can then change upon signing in? Or is there an alternative command for that?

Thank you!

I use - gam csv SignOut.csv gam update user ~Email changepassword on - This will forcefully sign out users from their Google account (once their page has been refreshed or navigated to another part of their existing page) users will then be prompted to sign in again using their usual password. They will then be prompted to reset their password.
