Add Roles to admin account using metservlet caller

[kamit_sr]

Hi ,

I have a requirement to add Operation manger role to default admin account using metaservlet.

I have gone through the sample metaservlet call, but could not find any way to update the user roles.

I tried using 

{
"actionName": "setRoleLimitation",
"authPass": "admin",
"authUser": "admin@company.com",
"limitation": true,
"rightKey": "JOB_CONDUCTOR_MANAGMENT,SERVERS_MANAGMENT, AUDIT_MANAGMENT, SOA_MANAGMENT, DASH_SOA_MANAGMENT,DASH_CONNECTIONS,DASH_JOBS,COMMANDLINE_MANAGMENT",
"userRole": "Operation Manager"
}

but getting below error not sure how to get it working

{"error":"No enum constant org.talend.gwtadministrator.client.global.menu.RoleProvider.Roles.Operation Manager","returnCode":1}

Thanks,

Amit Kumar

Per the documentation https://help.talend.com/reader/XKiHN_uvNCRjt1~QcNn4fw/URmRoWm7YAuFC06smWxO9g, the value for the userRole parameter should be:  

OPERATION_MANAGER_ROLE

Thanks for your help,

But it's still not working ... and it's not easy to understand the "rightKey" field. 

how to use the rightKey and userRole fields together ???? 

Documentation isn't clear enough.

Basically, this is changing the rights on a role.  In the example below, you are saying that DESIGNER_ROLE will have SERVERS_READ rights turn off (i.e. restricted).  If you set limitation to false, then it means the rights is not restricted, hence allowed.  This change the rights assign to the role, which will change for all users assigned to that role. The username and password in the parameters is just for metaservlet to authenticate through TAC to call the action.  This user should have the Administrator role.

{
  "actionName": "setRoleLimitation",
  "authPass": "admin",
  "authUser": "admin@company.com",
  "limitation": true,
  "rightKey": "SERVERS_READ",
  "userRole": "DESIGNER_ROLE"
}

Hi,
The solution is to create a new admin account with extended previledges.
So that you can perform the required task.
Once done you can retain new user or delete it based on requirement.

I followed the above as was in crunch to get it done.

Hi Kamit_sr,

Much better and easier to do. My neurons are tired of searching and understanding some metaservlet commands 😞

Thanks
