🌸 NAME 🌸

iticket — an iRODS iCommand. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

iticket [-h] [-M] [command]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so iticket is your ticket bestie for iRODS, and I’m obsessed. First up, the flags:

💅 options

• -h — this help. ✨
• -M — Run as administrator. 👑

📜 Commands are:

• create read/write Object-Name [string] — create a new ticket 🎀
• mod Ticket_string-or-id uses/expire string-or-none — modify restrictions 🔧
• mod Ticket_string-or-id write-bytes-or-file number-or-0 — modify restrictions 🔧
• mod Ticket_string-or-id add/remove host/user/group string — modify restrictions 🔧
• ls [Ticket_string-or-id] — list tickets; non-admins will see just your own 👀
• ls-all — list all your tickets, even with missing targets 🌈
• delete ticket_string-or-id — delete a ticket 💀
• quit — quit 🫶

Tickets are another way to provide access to iRODS data-objects (files) or collections (directories or folders). The iticket command allows you to create, modify, list, and delete tickets. When you create a ticket its 15 character string is given to you which you can share with others. This is less secure than normal iRODS login-based access control, but is useful in some situations. See the 'ticket-based access' page on irods.org for more information.

⚠️ Heads up: that ticket-based access is less secure than normal iRODS login-based access control — iconic for some situations, but not the locked-down vibe. 🔐

A blank execute line invokes the interactive mode, where iticket prompts and executes commands until 'quit' or 'q' is entered. Like other unix utilities, a series of commands can be piped into it: cat file1 | iticket (maintaining one connection for all commands). 🧚

Admin users can pass -M to modify/delete tickets created by other users. 👑
