GAM 3.X

[Jennifer Koermer]

I've managed to muddle my way through the Google Apps installation process.  I have script commands that use powershell and gam to auto create users and standard group types within our AD and google apps domain.  The following line works with GAM2.55 but not with GAM3.0:

PS C:\scripts\powershell> c:\gam\gam.exe create group gamtes...@domain.com name "GAM Test Group" description "Test: Group for testing" permission domain

Error: permission is not a valid setting for groups

Is the permission attribute no longer available with Gam 3.x?  I ran the same command without setting the default group permission without any issue:

PS C:\scripts\powershell> c:\gam\gam info group gamtes...@domain.com settings

Group Settings:

 name: GAM Test Group

 adminCreated: True

 directMembersCount: 0

 email: gamtes...@domain.com

 etag: "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"

 id: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Is this a bug or just a change in the GAM upgrade?

Thanks for the link.  I rewrote my code to remove the permission and everything appears to be working.  It looks like a group is now created with "domain" permissions from Gam 2.x. The specific settings were in Gam 2.x as well, you just also had the option to start out with a pre-defined permission level instead of just "domain".

GAM 3 settings are here https://code.google.com/p/google-apps-manager/wiki/GAM3GroupSettings

Looks like Permission has been replaced by more specific settings
