Synopsis

show_role_permissions( 'roleName' [, 'entityType', 'entityName'] )

show_role_permissions( 'roleName' [, namespaceName] )

Inputs

In the first form, all input parameters are string literals enclosed in single quotes.

roleName – Name of the role whose associated access rights are to be shown.
The other parameters are optional, but if one is supplied then both most be supplied:
- entityType – Type of entity. Must be 'namespace' (or equivalently, 'ns').
- entityName – Name of an entity whose access permissions are selected for display from among all role permissions.

In the second form, an unquoted namespaceName is recognized as entity type 'namespace'.

Summary

The show_role_permissions operator shows all or some of the permissions associated with the specified role. To show permissions for all of a user's roles, use show_user_permissions.

Example

The role experimenter includes access rights for several namespaces. To only show the rights for one namespace, specify it with additional entity type and entity name arguments.
