Subroutines/Methods

new

Constructor.

add_roles_to_user

   $role_obj->add_roles_to_user( $args );

Adds the user to one or more roles. The user is passed in $args->{user} and $args->{field} is the field to extract from the request object. Calls f_add_user_to_role in the factory subclass to add one user to one role. A suitable message from the stash $s is added to the result div upon success

add_users_to_role

   $role_obj->add_users_to_role( $args );

Adds one or more users to the specified role. The role is passed in $args->{role} and $args->{field} is the field to extract from the request object. Calls f_add_user_to_role in the factory subclass to add one user to one role. A suitable message from the stash $s is added to the result div upon success

create

   $role_obj->create;

Creates a new role. The name field from the request object is passed to f_create in the factory subclass. A suitable message from the stash $s is added to the result div upon success

delete

   $role_obj->delete;

Deletes an existing role. The role field from the request object is passed to the f_delete method in the factory subclass. A suitable message from the stash $s is added to the result div

get_member_list

   @members = $role_obj->get_member_list( $role );

Returns the list of members of a given role

get_name

get_rid

Returns the role id of the given role name

get_roles

   @roles = $role_obj->get_roles( $user, $rid );

Returns the list of roles that the given user is a member of. If the user all is specified then a list of all roles is returned. If a specific user is passed then the $rid will be used as that users primary role id. If $rid is not specified then the primary role id will be looked up via the user object

is_member_of_role

   $bool = $role_obj->is_member_of_role( $role, $user );

Returns true if the given user is a member of the given role, returns false otherwise

is_role

   $bool = $role_obj->is_role( $role );

Returns true if $role exists, false otherwise

role_manager_form

Adds data to the stash which displays the role management screen

update
