GAM and Commands to Remember

Reminders about using GAM for Google Admin

I've been working with Google Admin for a while, but when it comes to organising users at the beginning of the year, I keep loosing the details that I need to complete the tasks. So I'm putting details into this post about what commands I need to remember and the steps for this.

Print out all users in an organisation

This command will print all of the details of users in your domain. This will give me their account and most importantly, their organisation unit.

gam print users allfields > users.csv

Changing users to other organisational units

This command will allow me to use a text file I've created from the download of all the user details to move users from OUs to elsewhere. The text file only needs the first part of the email address, minus "@blah.com"

gam file users.txt update user org "/Users/Leaving"

Bulk upload of new users

To do this, I need to get the list of the new users with the following details and column headings:

Email, FirstName, LastName, OrgUnit, Password

And add them to a CSV file. Once completed, the command is:

gam csv users.csv gam create user "~Email" firstname "~FirstName" lastname "~LastName" org "~OrgUnit" password "~Password" changepassword on


Password reset and force change password


gam csv pass.csv gam update user ~Email password ~Password changepassword on

Google Sheet to Youtube Playlist

 I'm always wanting to build my own playlists on YouTube, so I hunted down the way to do it, and got it running and working well. Before you start this, please note: For really long lists you might make, you need to take into account the number of songs you will be loading to your playlist.  Using this method requires the use of Google Script App and a quota that is allocated to the process that you will be using, to fetch YouTube addresses and add them to a playlist.  From what I can tell, 150-200 songs can be loaded to a YouTube playlist, then it will tell you, you have maxed out your quota limit. To add the rest you will have to wait till the next day to do more. Creating a playlist to load to on YouTube You will need to create  a playlist so we can load the songs into. The easiest way to create this, would be to find any song on YouTube and save it to a playlist: At the bottom right of the window, click on the "+ Save" option (A). This will display a list of all...
