✨ SAMIZDAT-ROLE(1) ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the General Commands Manual page for samizdat-role 💖 yes it's a real command, yes it's iconic, and yes we're gonna go through it together, no skipped sections, no vibes-based summary, fr fr.

🌸 NAME 🌸

samizdat-role — Samizdat role management 👑

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

samizdat-role [ OPTIONS ] --list

samizdat-role [ OPTIONS ] --grant MEMBER

samizdat-role [ OPTIONS ] --revoke MEMBER

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So basically samizdat-role lets you view, grant, and revoke member access to privileged roles on a Samizdat site. that's the whole main character job description. you look at who has power, you hand out power, you take power away. the way that this is literally role management 💅

💜 OPTIONS 💜

• --site SITE — the name of the Samizdat site. lowkey important: this one overrides the SAMIZDAT_SITE environment variable 🌈 so if the env var is saying one thing and you're saying another, you win. main character energy.
• --role ROLE — the name of a role. the default is moderator, so if you don't say anything, that's who you're talking about ✨
• --grant MEMBER — grant ROLE privileges to MEMBER 🎁 MEMBER can be specified as a resource id or a login name.

NB: to grant or revoke privileges using this command, you must use database superuser privileges (in PostgreSQL, this is postgres). not me being locked out of my own glow-up 😭 you need the big keys, periodt.

• --revoke MEMBER — revoke ROLE privileges from MEMBER 💀 MEMBER can be specified as a resource id or a login name.

NB: to grant or revoke privileges using this command, you must use database superuser privileges (in PostgreSQL, this is postgres). same deal bestie, the superuser gate is the superuser gate 🙈

⭐ EXAMPLE ⭐

su postgres -c 'samizdat-role --site s1 --grant joe --role moderator --list'

grant moderator privileges to the member joe of site s1 and list all moderators 🫶 one command, three jobs, absolutely ate.
