Modifying roles

To modify a role, use the command gchrole:

gchrole [-d description] [--add-user(s) user_name,...]... [--add-action(s) object_name->action_name[{instance_name}],...]... [--del-user(s) user_name,...]... [--del-action(s) object_name->action_name[{instance_name}],...]... [--debug] [--site site_name] [--help] [--man] [--quiet] [--verbose] [--version] {[-r] role_name

Users may be added to a role or removed from a role. Actions also may be added to a role or removed from a role. When specifying actions, the instance will default to a value of ANY.

Example 16-4: Adding a user to a role

Let's add dave to our new Manager role:

$ gchrole --add-user dave -r Manager

Successfully added 1 user

Example 16-5: Associating an action with a role

Allow the Manager to change role responsibilities:

$ gchrole --add-action "RoleAction->ANY" Manager -v

Successfully added 1 action
