When I run the example "gam info domain", I get, among other things, an entry for "Admin Secondary Email". Eg.

$ gam info domain
[...]
Admin Secondary Email: REDA...@gmail.com
[...]

I'm wondering where the displayed email comes from, as it is incorrect (it is the personal email of the previous admin, who hasn't been here for more than a decade). I can't find the displayed value anywhere else amongst the settings, Eg. this command returns nothing

$ gam print users allfields | grep REDA...@gmail.com
Getting all Users in Google Workspace account (may take some time on a large account)...
Got *** Users: a********@anat.org.au - z*******@anat.org.au


In most places such an email is now referred to as a "recovery" email rather than a "secondary" email. Anywhere I've looked that seems relevant (eg, the recovery email of the account I use to administer the domain), it has a more up-to-date value.

Any ideas?

This isn't currently causing an issue, I just noticed it when setting up GAM on a new machine and thought I'd do some housekeeping.

Thanks,

Hi Pix,

It is a field in the Admin Profile https://admin.google.com/ac/accountsettings/profile

You can change with the command gam update customer adminsecondaryemail "<New Email Address>"

Cheers

James
