Bulk change of privacy settings for past activities

I have 600+ activities in Garmin Connect. I would like a way to change the privacy on ALL old activities. Doing them a page at a time using Quick Edit doesn't really make sense. Is there a way to do this?

Hi! Did you ever find out how to do this? I'm trying to do the same and couldn't find a way to edit all activities in a go...

You could delete all your activities, insure the default privacy setting in you account settings is what you want it to be, then upload all your activities again. And don't be dredging up old post from all over this forum and asking the same question in them.

You could delete all your activities, insure the default privacy setting in you account settings is what you want it to be, then upload all your activities again.

That's not so good if you've added comments, or for manually entered activities, though.

I wish there was an update all, like the Help suggests there is :)

I also want to change the privacy settings of all my old acitivities. This is a badly needed feature.

I have a python script that I wrote the last time that someone asked for this. If you have, or are willing to install, python-3.x I'm happy to provide the script for you. It is pretty simple. As an example, you could run the script from the command line to make all activities private...

C:\>python garmin_privacy.py --private


It can change the privacy setting to any of private, subscriber, groups or public as well as display the current privacy for each activity. It also supports filtering activities. For example this would make all running activities public...

C:\>python garmin_privacy.py --filter activityType=running --public

I have a python script that I wrote the last time that someone asked for this.

Hey Travis, any chance you could upload your script to Github?

I don't care enough to create a github account. You can download the script here. Note that it requires python-3.x which can be downloaded here.

Having issues with this script. I try and run it and I get the follow. Am I doing something wrong?

I'll look into it. I haven't touched the script, so it may be something that Garmin has changed recently.
