NAME


pts_removeuser - Removes a user from a Protection Database group

SYNOPSIS


pts removeuser -user <user name>+ -group <group name>+
[-cell <cell name>] [-noauth] [-localauth] [-force]
[-help]

pts rem -u <user name>+ -g <group name>+
[-c <cell name>] [-n] [-l] [-f] [-h]

DESCRIPTION


The pts removeuser command removes each user or machine named by the -user argument from
each group named by the -group argument.

To add users to a group, use the pts adduser command. To list group membership, use the
pts membership command. To remove users from a group and delete the group's entry
completely in a single step, use the pts delete command.

CAUTIONS


AFS compiles each user's group membership as he or she authenticates. Any users who have
valid tokens when they are removed from a group retain the privileges extended to that
group's members until they discard their tokens or reauthenticate.

OPTIONS


-name <user name>+
Specifies the name of each user entry or the IP address (complete or wildcard-style)
of each machine entry to remove.

-group <group name>+
Names each group from which to remove members.

-cell <cell name>
Names the cell in which to run the command. For more details, see pts(1).

-force
Enables the command to continue executing as far as possible when errors or other
problems occur, rather than halting execution at the first error.

-help
Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options are ignored.

-localauth
Constructs a server ticket using a key from the local /etc/openafs/server/KeyFile
file. Do not combine this flag with the -cell or -noauth options. For more details,
see pts(1).

-noauth
Assigns the unprivileged identity anonymous to the issuer. For more details, see
pts(1).

EXAMPLES


The following example removes user smith from the groups "staff" and "staff:finance". Note
that no switch names are necessary because only a single instance is provided for the
first argument (the username).

% pts removeuser smith staff staff:finance

The following example removes three machine entries, which represent all machines in the
ABC Corporation network, from the group "bin-prot":

% pts removeuser -user 138.255.0.0 192.12.105.0 192.12.106.0 -group bin-prot

PRIVILEGE REQUIRED


The required privilege depends on the setting of the fifth privacy flag in the Protection
Database for the group named by the -group argument (use the pts examine command to
display the flags):

· If it is the hyphen, only the group's owner and members of the system:administrators
group can remove members.

· If it is lowercase "r", members of the group can also remove other members.

(It is not possible to set the fifth flag to uppercase "R".)
