Updating Directory Info for user

[Don Beck]

I am trying to change some of the directory info for a user.

I ran the following to get a file with all fileds

gam user <us...@domain.com> print users allfields todrive

I took that file, made changes that I wanted and then tried to update user with this command

gam csv <userupdate.csv> gam update user <us...@domain.com>

tells me no changes?

The gam update command needs to know what fields should be updated and where to pull the values from the CSV. What are you trying to update? Take a look at the wiki:

Tryng to update info i the Employer Info section

Department

Cost Center

Mark,

This command will fail in Basic GAM because the primary|notprimary keyword is missing; it will work in Advanced GAM.

gam csv <source.csv> gam update user "~Email" relations manager "~Manager's email" organization department "~Department" costcenter "~Cost Center"

You want::

gam csv <source.csv> gam update user "~Email" relations manager "~Manager's email" organization department "~Department" costcenter "~Cost Center" primary

I did a domain wide update for users where I work last week using a CSV created from our HR system.

As Jay mentioned above after calling the CSV you then need to say which fields in the CSV need to be used for which fields.
It gets a bit "messy" when doing managers and departments etc. as they're a little buried!

The API reference gives some pointers: https://github.com/taers232c/GAMADV-XTD3/wiki/Users

To update those 3 fields you need to do:

gam csv <source.csv> gam update user "~Email" relations manager "~Manager's email" organization department "~Department" costcenter "~Cost Center"

You may need to update the various field references for the CSV to suit whatever is in your sheet. Double-quotes might also not be needed, I use them on my own Mac as zsh complains otherwise ;P

Hi,

Good point Ross! Forgot I'm on GAM-ADV, although TBH I didn't start setting up these more complex commands until I'd swapped over :) Thanks for flagging.
