New scripts/removeAdvancedMessaging.js reads a Users Export CSV
and bulk-removes the Advanced Messaging and Advanced Space Meetings
licenses from every listed user (with optional add of a Basic
Messaging license, though in most Webex orgs Basic Messaging is a
derived entitlement and no explicit add is required).
Detection is authoritative like the reclaim script: the assignee
rosters of the two Advanced licenses are fetched once up-front,
unioned by email, and the CSV is cross-referenced. PersonIds come
straight off the roster (no per-user /people lookup). Only the
remove ops the user actually still needs are emitted — the PATCH
body is trimmed per user based on which licenses they hold.
Dry-run enumerates every org license whose name matches
/message|advanced|space|basic/i so the operator can discover the
three ids without prior knowledge. --advanced-messaging-license-id,
--advanced-space-meetings-license-id, and --basic-messaging-license-id
also read WEBEX_ADV_MSG_LICENSE_ID / WEBEX_ADV_SPACE_MTG_LICENSE_ID
/ WEBEX_BASIC_MSG_LICENSE_ID from .env if set.
Also extracted the CSV parsing, format detection, pool/retry
helpers, and Webex license helpers from reclaimWebexHosts.js into
a shared scripts/lib/webexBulk.js module. reclaimWebexHosts.js now
imports from it — no behavior change (verified against both CSV
formats: 1028 candidates on the Meetings Inactive Users report,
665 on the Users Export report). Net -106 lines from the reclaim
script.
.gitignore updates:
- whitelist scripts/lib/ and the new removeAdvancedMessaging.js
file so they get tracked
- exclude reclaim-*.csv and remove-*.csv (per-user report CSVs
generated by --report contain PII and must never be committed)
