assignRole

Assigns a role to users (including the user who runs this command) whose login IDs are included in an ANSI or UTF-8 encoded CSV file. Use this command to assign users to a predefined role or to a granular role.

Before using this command, a Service Administrator uses the uploadFile command to upload the input file to an environment. The file format is as follows:

User Login
[e-mail]
jdoe

See Assigning One Role to Many Users in Getting Started with Oracle Cloud.

Note:

• User Login values included in the file are not case-sensitive.
• Use double quotation marks to enclose role names that contain space character.

When done, the command prints information about each failed entry to the console. Review this information to understand why the command execution failed for some entries in the CSV file.
