Configure Groups With Rake Tasks

Use rake tasks to create, modify, and delete groups; to add users to groups; and to import SAML and LDAP groups.

Rake tasks must be run from the Shares shell, as described in the following steps:
  1. Go to the shares folder: 
    # cd /opt/aspera/shares/u/shares/bin
  2. Test that your rake tasks are working correctly. 
    # ./run rake -T

Create Group

# ./run rake data:group:create -- --group_name group_name

For example:

# ./run rake data:group:create -- --group_name projectgroup1

Delete Group

# ./run rake data:group:delete -- --group_name group_name

For example:

# ./run rake data:group:delete -- --group_name projectgroup1

Add User to a Group

# ./run rake data:group:user:add -- --username username --group_name group_name

For example:

# ./run rake data:group:user:add -- --username johndoe --group_name projectgroup1

Add LDAP User to a Group

# ./run rake data:group:authorizable:user:add -- --username ldap_username --group_name group_name
For example: 
# ./run rake data:group:authorizable:user:add -- --username johnldap --group_name projectgroup1

Remove User from a Group

# ./run rake data:group:user:remove -- --username username --group_name group_name

For example:

# ./run rake data:group:user:remove -- --username johndoe --group_name projectgroup1

Export a List of Groups

# ./run rake data:group:export -- --path /path/to/file

For example:

# ./run rake data:user:export -- --path /temp/groupexport.txt

Import Groups from a Text File

# ./run rake data:group:import -- --path /path/to/file

If the group already exists in Shares, the rake task does not add the group.

For example:

# ./run rake data:group:import -- --path /temp/projectgroups.txt

Where the projectgroups.txt file contains the following :

projectgroup1
projectgroup2
projectgroup3
projectgroup4
projectgroup5
projectgroup6

Create SAML Group

# ./run rake data:group:saml:create -- --group_name group_name

For example:

# ./run rake data:group:saml:create -- --group_name samlgroup1

Fetch Group Details from LDAP

# ./run rake data:group:ldap:fetch -- --group_name group_name

For example:

# ./run rake data:group:ldap:fetch -- --group_name samlgroup1

Delete LDAP Group

# ./run rake data:group:ldap:delete -- --group_name group_name

For example:

# ./run rake data:group:ldap:delete -- --group_name samlgroup1
