GAM update Manager Email

[Aaron Hodges]

Hello,

I'm trying to update the Manager's email in Employee information with GAM but I haven't been able to find the right syntax for it, can anyone help?

[Jay Lee]

Manager is a relation type. Try:

gam update user us...@example.com relation manager m...@example.com

Hi Jay,

i can set the manager with update user and it works fine, but not while creating the user. Is there something I should keep in mind? My command looks like this:

gam create user fname...@domain.com firstname 'fname' lastname 'lname' password 'xyz' changepassword true relation mananger man...@domain.com notify new...@hotmail.com message 'Hello #givenname#,[...]' otheremail home new...@hotmail.com && gam user fname...@domain.com add groups 'new...@domain.com,team...@domain.com,sales-t...@domain.com,a...@domain.com'

I also tried putting it in another position, but it didn't work either

am create user fname...@domain.com firstname 'fname' lastname 'lname' password 'xyz' changepassword true notify new...@hotmail.com message 'Hello #givenname#,[...]' otheremail home new...@hotmail.com relation mananger man...@domain.com && gam user fname...@domain.com add groups 'new...@domain.com,team...@domain.com,sales-t...@domain.com,a...@domain.com'

Any Idea?

Cheers, Markus

Markus, 

I just tested a simple create and it worked fine.

Do note that the manager email must exist in the workspace domain.

Do one test.user without all your other attributes, just to see that it works.

[Kim Nilsson]

Also, unless your Workspace account has several email domains, you rarely ever need to supply the @domain.com.

It's implied.

Now it suddenly worked. I put the manager directly behind the password and that was accepted. I don't know if that is the issue, but it is solved now :-)

Thanks!
