Aliases

It is an error to use a user'a alias as a delegate; if you try, an error will be generated. The convertalias option causes GAM to make an extra API call per user in <UserEntity> to convert aliases to primary email addresses. If you know that all of the email addresses in <UserEntity> are primary, you can omit convertalias and avoid the extra API calls.

Create Gmail delegates

These two commands are equivalent.

gam <UserTypeEntity> add delegate|delegates [convertalias] <UserEntity>
gam <UserTypeEntity> delegate|delegates to [convertalias] <UserEntity>

Example

To give Bob access to Fred's mailbox as a delegate:

gam user fred@domain.com add delegate bob@domain.com

Delete Gmail delegates

gam <UserTypeEntity> delete|del delegate|delegates [convertalias] <UserEntity>

Update Gmail delegates

Update delegates to be able to access a user's contacts.

gam <UserTypeEntity> update delegate|delegates [convertalias] [<UserEntity>]

If <UserEntity> is omitted, all of a user's accepted delegates are updated.

Display Gmail delegates

gam <UserTypeEntity> show delegates|delegate [shownames] [csv]
gam <UserTypeEntity> print delegates|delegate [todrive <ToDriveAttribute>*] [shownames]

By default, delegate names are not displayed; use the shownames option to display the delegates name. This involves an extra API call per delegate email address.

By default, show delegates displays indented keys and values; use the csv option to have just the values shown as a comma separated list.
