[REQUEST] Simple output on item check and simplification of Employee ID update. #302

Closed jarrodCoombes closed 1 year ago

jarrodCoombes commented 1 year ago

I have two requests:

  1. I need a way to check to see if an email exists or not. Currently I am using gam whatis <email> to do this, but if the email exists, it returns a whole page of info, all I really need a Exists - Object type or a Does not exist This is useful in scripting bulk operations, like user creation.

  2. Currently to create/update the employee ID field the syntax is gam create user <email> externalid organization <ID> could this not be simplified to something like gam create user <email> employeeID <id> ?

Awesome! Not sure why I could not find that in the docs, but this has made me very happy! Also, thanks @synapp for this too!
