Create users from csv without overriding possible current users

[Howard Davis]

I am bulk creating users using a csv. In case I make a boo boo, how do I ensure they don't override existing users. Code I use:

gam csv [file.csv] gam create user ~email firstname ~first lastname ~last password ~password org /Students/Elementary

Say in that csv I have a user with email billybob, but billybob already exists. In the past (because I did it once), it would just override billybob with whatever I set the new password as. Is there a way to avoid this?

Howard,

Create should fail in this case and no updates should be applied to the existing billybob. This is how the API has always worked as far as i know.

Test it out, you should always get a duplicate error.
