GAFE Admin - suspend block of user accounts

[Sheridan]

Due to a few wobbles with the way our vle updates the GAFE accounts side of things we have a few account active in GAFE that we need to suspend. All begin with the same prefix (i.e 2005- etc) but the only way I can find to suspend those is invidually

 

Does anyone know of a way to block select and suspend a bunch of user accounts in GAFE through the admin console?

I think your best bet would be to use GAM - https://github.com/jay0lee/GAM

gam update user suspend off

 

You could build up a list of commands using Excel and concatenate function. Or you can put all the usernames in a text file and call them using GAM.

Thanks , I'd seen GAM mentioned elsewhere but I was hoping I'd missed an easier way in the admin console

You haven't

 

The admin console isn't the most user friendly.
