💖 sympa-set(1) — the sympa 6.2.80 era girlie 💖

okay bestie, sit down, hydrate, because we're about to *set properties of users of the list* and honestly? it's giving admin main character energy ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

sympa-set — set properties of users of the list 🫶

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

"sympa set" [ "--role="role ] list"@"domain key"="value ...

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

So here's the vibe: this bad boy sets properties of the user(s) in a list 🔥. But plot twist — you do not type the email addresses in yourself. Nope. Email addresses of users are read from standard input, and the data should contain one email address per line. Periodt. 💅

👑 Option

• "--role="role — the target role you're going for. Your options are "member", "editor" or "owner". If you don't say anything, member is assumed — she's the default, she's the moment, she's the standard 🎀.

🦋 Parameters

list"@"domain is a mandatory parameter, bestie — no skipping it, it's how you specify the target list. No list, no ✨magic✨.

key"="value ... is the name and value of each attribute of users. And here are the keys you can play with, no cap:

• gecos — display name 💜
• reception — reception mode 📬
• visibility — visibility 👀
• info — owner or editor only. It's secret information 🤫
• profile — owner only. Privileges of the owner. It's either "normal" or "privileged" 👑

and listen — with gecos or info, an empty value may be used to delete the attribute. Poof. Gone. Iconic behaviour honestly 🧚

📜 HISTORY 📜

This option was added on Sympa 6.2.71b — so she's not ancient, she's just ✨established✨.
