Identify user accounts

Gets the list of available s for the logged on user.

Syntax

Get-s [-PipelineVariable <String>]

Example

Get-s

Gets the list of available s.

Identify user roles

Gets a list of the currently defined roles within GPOADmin. There are three default roles which cannot be changed.

Syntax

Get-Roles [-PipelineVariable <String>]

Example

Get-Roles

Gets a list of all the currently defined roles within GPOADmin.

Modify a role

Modifies the properties of the specified user-defined role. The three default roles, System Administrator, Moderator and User cannot be changed.

Syntax

Set-Role [-Role] <RoleData> [[-DisplayName] <String>] [[-Description] <String>] [[-s] <[]>] [-PipelineVariable <String>] [-WhatIf] [-Confirm]

Examples

$roles = Get-Roles

Set-Role -Role $roles[3] -DisplayName Linkers

The Get-Roles stores the roles into an array. The Set-Role command updates the display name of the role in role[3] to Linkers. The array counts from zero and not from one. The first role is zero, the second is one.

 

$roles = Get-Roles

Set-Role -Role $roles[3] -Description "Users of this role can link Group Policy Objects to Scopes of Management"

Updates the description of the role "Linkers".

 

$roles = Get-Roles

Set-Role -Role $roles[3] -s "Read, Link"

Updates the s of the role "Linkers".

Add a role

Adds a role to GPOADmin with the specified name, description, and s. Only a GPOADmin administrator can run this command.

Syntax

Add-Role [-Name] <String> [[-Description] <String>] [-s] <String[]> [-PipelineVariable <String>] [-WhatIf] [-Confirm]

Examples

$s = "BlockInheritance", "Link"

Add-Role "Linker" "Can link GPOs to SOMs" $s

This first creates an array of s. You can use the Get-s command to retrieve a list of available s. Next the Linker role is defined, created, and the s are applied.

 

Add-Role -Name "Register Role" -Description "Can register objects" -s "Register", "Unregister"

List of s can be added in-line instead of using a variable.
