How to upgrade from Standard GAM

Use these steps if you have used any version of GAM in your domain. They will update your GAM project and all necessary authentications.
In these examples, your Google Super admin is shown as [email protected]; replace with the actual email adddress.
In these examples, the user home folder is shown as /Users/admin; adjust according to your specific situation; e.g., /home/administrator.
This example assumes that GAM7 has been installed in /Users/admin/bin/gam7. If you've installed GAM7 in another directory, substitute that value in the directions.
The default GAM7 configuration directory is /Users/admin/.gam; for more flexibility you probably want to select a non-hidden location. This example assumes that the GAM7 configuration directory will be /Users/admin/GAMConfig; If you've chosen another directory, substitute that value in the directions.
Make the directory:
mkdir -p /Users/admin/GAMConfig
Add the following line:
export GAMCFGDIR="/Users/admin/GAMConfig"
to one of these files based on your shell:
~/.bash_profile
~/.bashrc
~/.zshrc
~/.profile
Issue the following command replacing <Filename> with the name of the file you edited:
source <Filename>
You need to make sure the GAM7 configuration directory actually exists. Test that like this:
ls -l $GAMCFGDIR
You should establish a GAM7 working directory; you will store your GAM7 related data in this folder and execute GAM commands from this folder. You should not use /Users/admin/bin/gam7 or /Users/admin/GAMConfig for this purpose. This example assumes that the GAM working directory will be /Users/admin/GAMWork; If you've chosen another directory, substitute that value in the directions.
Make the directory:
mkdir -p /Users/admin/GAMWork
You should set an alias to point to /Users/admin/bin/gam7/gam so you can operate from the /Users/admin/GAMWork directory. Aliases aren't available in scripts, so you may want to set a symlink instead, see below.
Add the following line:
alias gam="/Users/admin/bin/gam7/gam"
to one of these files based on your shell:
~/.bash_aliases
~/.bash_profile
~/.bashrc
~/.zshrc
~/.profile
If you already have an alias for standard GAM but are no longer going to run it, delete these lines:
function gam() { "/Users/admin/bin/gam/gam" "$@" ; }"
alias gam="/Users/admin/bin/gam/gam"
If you already have an alias for standard GAM and want to run it and GAM7, give your old alias a different name:
function gamstd() { "/Users/admin/bin/gam/gam" "$@" ; }"
alias gamstd="/Users/admin/bin/gam/gam"
Issue the following command replacing <Filename> with the name of the file you edited:
source <Filename>
Set a symlink in /usr/local/bin (or some other location on $PATH) to point to GAM7.
ln -s "/Users/admin/bin/gam7/gam" /usr/local/bin/gam
Set environment variable OLDGAMPATH to point to the existing Gam directory; /Users/admin/bin/gam will be used in this example. If your existing Gam is in another directory, substitute that value in the directions.
admin@server:/Users/admin$ export OLDGAMPATH=/Users/admin/bin/gam
Verify that OLDGAMPATH points to the correct location.
admin@server:/Users/admin$ ls -l $OLDGAMPATH/*.json

You will be directed to the Google Workspace admin console Security/API Controls/Domain-wide Delegation page
The "Add a new Client ID" box will open
Make sure that "Overwrite existing client ID" is checked
Click AUTHORIZE
When the box closes you're done
After authorizing it may take some time for this test to pass so wait a few moments and then try this command again.
admin@server:/Users/admin$
The link shown in the error message should take you directly to the authorization screen. If not, make sure that you are logged in as a domain admin, then re-enter the link.
Wait a moment and then perform the following command; it it still fails, wait a bit longer, it can sometimes take serveral minutes for the authorization to complete.
admin@server:/Users/admin$ gam user [email protected] check serviceaccount

In these examples, your Google Super admin is shown as [email protected]; replace with the actual email adddress.
This example assumes that GAM7 has been installed in C:\GAM7; if you've installed GAM7 in another directory, substitute that value in the directions.
These steps assume Command Prompt, adjust if you're using PowerShell.
The default GAM configuration directory is C:\Users<UserName>.gam; for more flexibility you probably want to select a non user-specific location. This example assumes that the GAM configuration directory will be C:\GAMConfig; If you've chosen another directory, substitute that value in the directions.
- Make the C:\GAMConfig directory before proceeding.
You should extablish a GAM working directory; you will store your GAM related data in this folder and execute GAM commands from this folder. You should not use C:\GAM7 or C:\GAMConfig for this purpose. This example assumes that the GAM working directory will be C:\GAMWork; If you've chosen another directory, substitute that value in the directions.
- Make the C:\GAMWork directory before proceeding.
You should set the system path to point to C:\GAM7 so you can operate from the C:\GAMWork directory.
Start Control Panel
Click System
Click Advanced system settings
Click Environment Variables...
Click Path under System variables
Click Edit...
If you have an existing entry referencing standard GAM:
Click that entry
Click Delete
If C:\GAM7 is already on the Path, skip the next three steps
Click New
Enter C:\GAM7
Click OK
Click New
Set Variable name: GAMCFGDIR
Set Variable value: C:\GAMConfig
Click OK
Click OK
Click OK
Exit Control Panel
At this point, you should restart Command Prompt so that it has the updated path and environment variables.
Set environment variable OLDGAMPATH to point to the existing Gam directory; C:\GAM will be used in this example. If your existing Gam is in another directory, substitute that value in the directions.
C:\>set OLDGAMPATH=C:\GAM
C:\>dir %OLDGAMPATH%\*.json

Click AUTHORIZE
When the box closes you're done
After authorizing it may take some time for this test to pass so wait a few moments and then try this command again.
C:\>
The link shown in the error message should take you directly to the authorization screen. If not, make sure that you are logged in as a domain admin, then re-enter the link.
Wait a moment and then perform the following command; it it still fails, wait a bit longer, it can sometimes take serveral minutes for the authorization to complete.
