Change visibility of all activities

Once the activity is uploaded to Garmin Connect, the only way to change the privacy setting for that activity via Garmin Connect is to do it manually. If you go to the Activities page, you can click Quick Edit and then change the setting for each activity on the page (there are 20 per page).

If you are willing to install a python-3.x interpreter, I wrote a script that can update the privacy setting of all of your activities. You can find it here. If you decide to go this route, the script 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


Thanks! I think The manual via quick edit is fine, I have only 100 or so.

Cheers, Robert

TRAVIS.VITEK I just wanted to say that I used your script and while I'm sure it is no surprise to you it worked a treat. Thanks so much for this.
It was very simple to use and not I'm feeling a touch safer with my activities :)
thank you

TRAVIS.VITEK, greetings. Just ran your script to change ~300 activities to public and encountered these errors... Should the script still work as of today?

I'm hoping to avoid setting these on-by-one...

Thanks for any assistance,

Hello
I have made, that change as you recommend, my activity privacy is set to everyone and that it can be seen by everyone and that I want to participate in segment but it still will not show my segment times on the leaderboard. This sort of "glitch" is so annoying!
Thanks for any help.

Same exact problem with mine.

This is a very old post -- it used to have a link to some code, but links were removed from old posts when the forum platform changed a couple of years ago :/.
