[rt-users] Set user rights with scrip?

[Bill Chever]

Alrighty then!

This is great information, Stephen.  Thanks!

Only one problem - The right I want to revoke is the "Let this user access
RT" right, not "Let this user be granted rights" which is what gets changed
by the SetPrivileged.  Is there a SetAccess equivalent?

You can see the perl API docs with perldoc - assuming the $RTHOME/lib
directory is in your perl library path, do:

perldoc RT::Ticket_Overlay

to see the methods in the Ticket object.

This should get you the Group's members in an RT::GroupMembers collection
object:

my $requestors = $self->TicketObj->Requestors->MembersObj

Then to work with each requestor,

while (my $req = $requestors->Next) {
      my $req_principal = $req->MemberObj;
      if ($req_principal->IsUser) {
           $req_principal->Object->SetPrivileged(0);
      }
}

The variables above represent these kind of objects:

$requestors - RT::GroupMembers
$req - RT::GroupMember
$req_principal - RT::Principal

This seems cumbersome, and maybe there's a more streamlined way, but it
should do what you want. The if statement may be unnecessary ( I think
requestors are always users, not groups) but it doesn't hurt.
