GUS provides basic functionality for tracking changes and
controlling access by users, groups, and projects. To use this
functionality, you must first create User, Group, and Project entries in
the database. If you've just completed installing GUS, these will be
entered using the dba user and group,
and the Database administration project
(these three values are the default in every GUS installation). These
tables are populated with either the LoadRow or LoadGusXml generic
plugins. Examples are below.
Example 2.1. Adding a User with LoadRow
ga GUS::Supported::Plugin::LoadRow --tablename Core::UserInfo --attrlist \
"login,password,first_name,last_name,e_mail" \
--valuelist jsmith^^^p@ss^^^Jane^^^Smith^^^jsmith@example.org --commitExample 2.2. Adding a Group with LoadRow
ga GUS::Supported::Plugin::LoadRow --tablename Core::GroupInfo \
--attrlist name --valuelist samplegroup --commitExample 2.3. Adding a Project with LoadGusXml
The XML to load is shown above, and is assumed to be named
sampleproject.xml. The command to
load the XML is shown below.
<Core::ProjectInfo>
<name>Sample project</name>
<description>A sample project</description>
</Core::ProjectInfo>
//ga GUS::Supported::Plugin::LoadGusXml --filename sampleproject.xml --commit
Once these tables have been populated, you must either update your
$GUS_CONFIG_FILE and
gus.config file (in the
$PROJECT_HOME/install/ directory), or
use the values from the command line when running plugins with the
--user,
--group, and
--project flags.
