I need to add a specific role to a user using the Splunk SDK.
I can list the users and find the roles owned by the user I want to add a role to. But, I can't work out how to access and update that user object. I've tried to use a number of variations on "services.user.name", "service.user.content" etc etc, but can't get anything with "service.user.xxxxxx" to work. The calls to service.roles.xxxxxx and service.users.xxxxxx both work as advertised.
Does anyone have any examples as to how to use the splunklib.client.User class? Any help to point me in the right direction greatly appreciated.
newrolename="new_role"
newrole = service.roles.create(newrolename)
kwargs = {"sort_key": "realname", "sort_dir": "asc"}
users = service.users.list(count=-1,**kwargs)
for user in users:
username=user.name
logger.info(username)
logger.info("username="+username+", current_user="+current_user)
if user.name == current_user:
logger.info("username==current_user")
user_roles=[newrolename]
for role in user.role_entities:
user_roles.append(role.name)
logger.info(user_roles)
#service.user.name # - seems to do nothing (when uncommented)
