Setting up Calendar Access to a suspended user.

[Paul Follan]

I have followed relevant articles to setup calendar access to a suspended user account.

Having unsuspended and added user access via GAM7  to the calendar and then resuspended the user, I am still unable to access the calendar.  a popup "[user] doesn't have a Google Calendar Account" appears.

Is it definitive that a user's calendar is not visible whilst they are suspended?

I wanted to add in a couple of active users to view the suspended user's calendar.

Any clarification on suspended users calendar visibility would be welcomed.

If a user is suspended, their calendar is unavailable.

Hi Jay,

A user is on sick leave and I need to disable their system login access while maintaining email continuity and calendar access for a designated team member covering the absence.

I believe I have email covered by setting up mail routing via Google Admin, but I wanted to maintain the calendar view to the designated team membere while the user was suspended.

I don't really want to change the calendar owner or keep the account active if at all possible.

Regards

Paul

Couldn't you leave then unsuspended, assign them a random password and then reet the password when they return?

Hi Ross,

Changing the password is fine and was the first action point.., but I wanted to determine if it was also possible to suspend the user to negate any attempts by them to access their account while on sick leave, while providing visibility of their calendar to their line manager/work colleague.

Regards

Paul

Could you randomize the password, sign out the user, and then remove all the tokens for the user's account?  There are probably better ways to script it...  but it would be the following commands:

  gam update user <email> password random
  gam user <email> signout
  gam user <email> deprovision

  gam calendar <email> add owner <managerEmail> sendnotifications false
  gam user <managerEmail> add calendar <Email> selected true hidden false
