Set autocreated groups with LDAP group channel map as private

Description

Hi all !
I created my groups with the LDAP group channel map (with a big JSON).
The groups are created as public whereas I would like them private. I currently have 108 groups (I’m not going to put them in private by hand).
Does anyone have a solution to put them in private, like script or whatever?

Any additional Information

I’ll try with the API, but maybe there is something simpler.

Thanks !

Note: as mentioned in API calls for groups/private channels does not work for admins · Issue #15435 · RocketChat/Rocket.Chat · GitHub
We cannot use an admin account with REST API.
I will try to use the “Rocket.Cat” account which is owner of all autocreated channels.

I think this might help you?

Hi John,
I had just finished writing my script.
I wasted a lot of time because the API still works with the old logic: a private canal is a group
I didn’t understand right away that I had to use the groups AND channels in API.
Problem solved. Thanks !

Note: It can be an evolution request, if the channels must be created with the LDAP function, that it can be specified as private or public.

Fab!!!

You could add this as a NFR eg

“Allow LDAP channels to be set as private or public”

Please check first though.
