group query

This command queries providers and the user database for a group. A provider query can be aggregated across providers to yield a merged result or it can be provider-specific. See Querying Users for more information.

You can also use this command to attach S3 user policies to groups and to remove S3 user policies from groups.

Usage for Retrieving a Group
group query {--gid GID | --groupname GROUPNAME | --sid SID | --vaid VAID}
            [--context local|udb|ad|ldap|nis|aggregated]
Usage for Setting S3 Permissions
group query {--gid GID | --groupname GROUPNAME | --sid SID | --vaid VAID}
            [--s3-policies-ids [S3_POLICIES_IDS]]
Required Parameters

--gid GID

--groupname GROUPNAME

--sid SID

--vaid VAID

Include one of these options to specify which group attribute to query by and a specific value to search for.
Options

--context local|udb|ad|ldap|nis|aggregated

Specify one of the following contexts:

  • local. Restricts the search to local provider groups.

  • udb. Searches the UDB for the group. The output in this case includes the VAID (VAST ID) for the group, which can be used to specify the group as a grantee in S3 ACLs.

  • aggregated (default). Searches all providers and returns a merged entry. In case of conflicts between providers, attributes are resolved according to the following rules:

    • In case of conflict between local and non local providers, the local provider's attributes override those of the other providers.

    • In case of conflicting POSIX attributes on external providers, the POSIX primary provider overrules the other external provider.

    • Groups are merged if they match according to a non-configurable group name attribute.

  • ad, nis or ldap. Searches the specific provider only. (Each of these options appears only if a provider of that type is connected to the cluster.)

--s3-policies-ids [S3_POLICIES_IDS]

Attaches one or more S3 user policies to the group. Specify S3_POLICIES_IDS as a comma separated list of S3policy IDs. Each time you run the command with this option, the list overrides the entire previous list of S3 policies that were attached to the group. To remove a policy from a group, specify a list that does not include the policy you wish to remove. To remove all policies from the group, do not specify a list of IDs.
