Jay,

This is great to have these new features (I wasn't even aware that Google now allowed changing primary domains) - thanks again for your hard work.

I've updated my Cheat Sheet for GAM (shameless plug for anyone who isn't aware of it - it's available from http://goo.gl/1CRlcx) and in the process found a bug that has been introduced with the new get domain info feature. This breaks the download domain logo feature (although as a work-around you can use "gam info instance logo <logo file>"). I think this bug is a result of line 1231 which only relies on the number of arguments being < 4 to call the old code - this won't catch when the additional "logo <logo file>" arguments are present (there will be 5 arguments in that case).

Glen,

This should do it:   if (len(sys.argv) < 4) or (sys.argv[3] == u'logo'):
Line 1263 should be: i = 4
After line 1470: todrive = True
Add line 1471: i += 1

This are all in a pull request for Jay

Hey Jay;
Awesome cheat sheet (really well done, I totally dig it).
But I was wondering, would you be willing to generate an additional one thats ink/printer friendly (specifically, the letter formatted version)? (even in B&W it would use way more ink then I'd like with a grey background being printed unnecessarily). Black outlines/white background on everything in yellow boxes, everything green to white, everything red to medium dark grey, and everything orange to light grey was what I had started modifying my local copy to, I thought maybe others could benefit too, it seems like you know what your doing way better then I do.
Also, thanks again, the cheat sheet is really awesome, even for someone new to using GAM its very helpful. It also has an appealing color scheme in its current state, I just cant print it in my workplace (yes, for serious).

Sorry, Meant to say Thanks Glenn (Thanks to you too Jay! Awesome work, you have made something that earlier today seemed insanely time consuming, doable.)

Hi Tom(?),

Great suggestion - as I print the cheat sheet at work on a laser printer I never even thought of the ink issue. I've made a B&W (well, almost B&W, but can print as B&W) version that is ink friendly and uploaded it to the GAM Cheat Sheet site. You can directly download it here. Let me know what you think including any things that can be improved (what looks good on my high quality laser printer may not look so good on other printers).

I think if you aren't a Super Admin you cant convert a secondary domain to primary.


I have a doubt, when you swap the secondary domain to primary Wich permission will have the drive's files? I want to mean if the file has organization's permission will it be the old domain name?

Thanks

If you have shared a file so anyone in your organization can access it (either with ot without the link) then nothing will change, both the primary and secondary domains are still part of your organization and so will still have access

Maybe, other user can explain better than me. I had some probles like you with same error, I generated new JSON key and then I could change the primary domain but after I couldn't change email's users names... (with the same error) Then I installed GAM in another computer and everithing worked fine.

I dont know why

Thanks Graham

I think we are going to delete secondary domain about 2 months... Are we going problems if we delete it?
