gam delete chromeprofile <ChromeProfileName>
gam info chromeprofile <ChromeProfileName>
        <ChromeProfileFieldName>* [fields <ChromeProfileFieldNameList>]
        [formatjson]
Select the fields to be displayed:
- 
<ChromeProfileFieldName>* [fields <ChromeProfileFieldNameList>]- Display a selected list of fields
By default, Gam displays the information as an indented list of keys and values:
- 
formatjson- Display the fields in JSON format.
gam show chromeprofiles
        [filter <String> (filtertime<String> <Time>)*]
        [orderby <ChromeProfileOrderByFieldName> [ascending|descending]]
        <ChromeProfileFieldName>* [fields <ChromeProfileFieldNameList>]
        [formatjson]
Use these options to select Chrome profiles; if none are chosen, all Chrome profiles in the account are selected:
- 
filter <String>- Limit profiles to those that match a query
Select the fields to be displayed:
- 
<ChromeProfileFieldName>* [fields <ChromeProfileFieldNameList>]- Display a selected list of fields
Use the filtertime<String> <Time> option to allow times, usually relative, to be substituted into the filter <String> option.
The filtertime<String> <Time> value replaces the string #filtertime<String># in the filter <String>.
The characters following filtertime can be any combination of lowercase letters and numbers.
By default, Gam displays the information as an indented list of keys and values:
- 
formatjson- Display the fields in JSON format.
gam print chromeprofiles [todrive <ToDriveAttribute>*]
        [filter <String> (filtertime<String> <Time>)*]
        [orderby <ChromeProfileOrderByFieldName> [ascending|descending]]
        <ChromeProfileFieldName>* [fields <ChromeProfileFieldNameList>]
        [formatjson [quotechar <Character>]]
Use these options to select Chrome profiles; if none are chosen, all Chrome profiles in the account are selected:
- 
filter <String>- Limit profiles to those that match a query
The first two columns will always name,profileId; the remaining field names will be sorted if sortheaders is specified;
otherwise, the remaining field names will appear in the order specified.
Select the fields to be displayed:
- 
<ChromeProfileFieldName>* [fields <ChromeProfileFieldNameList>]- Display a selected list of fields
By default, Gam displays the information as columns of fields; the following option causes the output to be in JSON format:
- 
formatjson- Display the fields in JSON format.
By default, when writing CSV files, Gam uses a quote character of double quote ". The quote character is used to enclose columns that contain
the quote character itself, the column delimiter (comma by default) and new-line characters. Any quote characters within the column are doubled.
When using the formatjson option, double quotes are used extensively in the data resulting in hard to read/process output.
The quotechar <Character> option allows you to choose an alternate quote character, single quote for instance, that makes for readable/processable output.
quotechar defaults to gam.cfg/csv_output_quote_char. When uploading CSV files to Google, double quote " should be used.
These are the fields that can be used in a filter:
affiliationState
browserChannel
browserVersion
displayName
extensionCount
firstEnrollmentTime
identityProvider
lastActivityTime
lastPolicySyncTime
lastStatusReportTime
osPlatformType
osVersion
ouId
policyCount
profileId
userEmail
Any of the above fields can be used to specify a filter, and filtering by multiple fields is supported with AND operator. String type fields and enum type fields support '=' and '!=' operators. Wildcard '*' can be used with a string type field filter. The integer type and the timestamp type fields support '=', '!=', '<', '>', '<=' and '>=' operators. Timestamps expect an RFC-3339 formatted string (e.g. 2012-04-21T11:30:00-04:00). In addition, string literal filtering is also supported, for example, 'ABC' as a filter maps to a filter that checks if any of the filterable string type fields contains 'ABC'.
Organization unit number can be used as a filtering criteria here by specifying 'ouId = ', please note that only single OU ID matching is supported.
For Windows PowerShell, replace \" with `".
Print information about Chrome profiles synced more than 30 days ago:
