Create Google group from Classroom rosters

[Matthew Weiner]

This may be a bit of a tricky one, but I'm hoping it's possible.  I want to be able to populate a Google group from Classroom rosters.  Two teachers need a particular app, and I want to be able to deploy it, but only for the students in that class and only for the duration of the class as it's prone to misuse and hence teacher complaints.

My hope is to be able to populate a group with the students from the two teachers' classes, assign the install to that group so the students will only have access to the app if they are in these teachers classes and only for the duration of the half-year class.  I figure using the group for assignment is likely the easiest way to do so since I can't use Classrooms directly for app assignments.

I think such a think may be possible but I'm not sure what commands would make it happen.  Any help would be appreciated.

Works perfectly, thanks!  I never thought you could reference classroom directly in the group memeberships so I was trying to break it into steps, dumping classroom data to CSV files, concatenating it and then feeding it back into the group via bash scripts.
