Syntax

Update-SCSMUserRole
      [-UserRole] <Role[]>
      [-PassThru]
      [-WhatIf]
      [-Confirm]
      [<CommonParameters>]

Description

The Update-SCSMUserRole cmdlet sets the UserRole property for a Service Manager user.

Examples

Example 1: Add a user to a user role

PS C:\>$Role = Get-SCSMUserRole -Name "IncidentResolvers"
PS C:\> $User = Get-SCSMUser -UserName "PattiFuller"
PS C:\> $Role.User += $User
PS C:\> Update-SCSMUserRole -Role $Role

The first command gets the user role named IncidentResolvers by using Get-SCSMUserRole, and then stores it in the $Role variable.

The second command gets a user by using the Get-SCSMUser cmdlet, and then stores that object in the $User variable.

The third command appends $User to the User property of $Role.

The final command updates the role to match the current value of $Role.

Example 2: Remove a user from a role

PS C:\>Get-SCSMUserRole -Name "Administrators"
WOODGROVE\Administrator
WOODGROVE\Domain Admins


The second command assigns the user role previously displayed to the $Role variable. 
PS C:\>$Role = Get-SCSMUserRole -Name "Administrators"

The third command assigns the first user role to the **User** property of $Role. This command that property, removing all except the specified user. 
PS C:\>$Role.User = $Role.Users[0]

The final command updates the role to match the current value of $Role.
PS C:\>Update-SCSMUserRole -Role $Role

This example removes a user from a user role. The first command displays administrators.
