Basic User Role Commands
Users within a DeltaStream Organization have one or more roles. In most cases, users will be assigned to multiple roles. In this tutorial, we'll cover some basic commands for managing a user's roles.
List Roles
A user can see their current set of roles using the LIST ROLES command. In the example below, we can see that our current role is sysadmin, but this user has access to other roles including public, orgadmin, securityadmin, and useradmin.
Switch Roles
To switch to a different role, users can use the USE command. In this example, let's switch from the sysadmin role to the useradmin role.
Now, if we LIST ROLES again, we can see that the current role has changed to useradmin.
Describe a Role
We can also use the DESCRIBE ROLE command to learn more information about a specific role. Note that in order to describe a particular role, the user's current role must have access to that role. In this example, we can see that the useradmin role is also granted the public role. Below that, we can see the privileges of the role. Since the useradmin role is for managing other users, the ManageMembers privilege is granted to this role. Other roles will have other privileges.
