Mass deletion of Google Shared Drive users

[Brokamp, Kevin M]

Hey all,

 

Stumbling my way through this so I figured I’d ask the community.

 

What is the most efficient way of listing and then deleting all users/members/roles from a given set of Google Shared Drives? 

 

We’ve given our users plenty of time to either migrate their data out of shared drives or pay for storage in our Google instance and would like to use GAMADV-XTD3 to delete all remaining users from the set of drives who haven’t gone through the payment process.  Note that removing all users from these drives is the very last step before we delete the drives entirely/free up some quota space.  As of now, we’re planning to keep the data in our instance for 6-12 months as a fail-safe.

 

Just trying to flesh out the best way to go about this process.

 

Thanks!

Kevin

Kevin,

Let's assume a CSV file SharedDriveCleanup.csv with a column id that identifies the Shared Drives of interest.

Get the ACLs for those Shared Drives.

gam redirect csv ./SharedDriveACLs.csv multiprocess csv SharedDriveCleanup.csv gam print drivefileacls "~id" oneitemperrow

Delete the ACLs

gam redirect stdout ./SharedDriveDeletedACLs.csv multiprocess redirect stderr stdout csv ./SharedDriveACLs.csv gam delete drivefileacl "~id" "id:~~permission.id~~"

Ross,

 

Thanks so much for getting back so quickly…I get to the last step in the process and this is what I see in the log when I run it on a test shared drive:

 

Permission ID: 1622953668056960000

Does not exist

 

Any helpful hints?

 

Best,

Kevin
