First of all a GREAT thank you to the GAM team for developing GYB! I'm using it to migrate emails of old nameless IMAP accounts from our provider (like
hr@mydomain.com
) to equivalent Google Groups in Google Workspace. I do that with a special account account I created for this:migrate@mydomain.com
. I installed GYB from the admin accountadmin@mydomain.com
. I want to use the following steps:migrate@mydomain.com
Workspace account;migrate@mydomain.com
to the corresponding Google Group;migrate@mydomain.com
account;However, the purge command wipes the admin account
admin@mydomain.com
in stead of the accountmigrate@mydomain.com
...I've use the following command:
gyb --email migrate@mydomain.com --action purge --use-admin admin@mydomain.com
What did I do wrong?
Oh, and by the way: if I use
gyb --email migrate@mydomain.com --action purge --use-admin migrate@mydomain.com
I get:
EDIT: in the meantime I discovered that I failed to give the right access to the migrate account (reading only). After revoking access from the account itself, I wasn't be able to regain access: kept on getting
ERROR: ('invalid_grant: Token has been expired or revoked.', {'error': 'invalid_grant', 'error_description': 'Token has been expired or revoked.'})
After trying lots of times, I deleted the migrate account completely and created a new migration account. After giving full access, I was able to purge with the command
gyb --email migrate@mydomain.com --action purge --use-admin migrate@mydomain.com
(so using
--use-admin migrate@mydomain.com
which is not the admin account...)So my first question remains: why did GYB purge the admin account, while leaving the migrate account untouched?
