Parameters
Parameter |
Value |
Required? |
Description |
url |
A valid URL, such as http://server_name |
Yes |
The URL of the Web application to which the policy level is being added |
userlogin |
A valid user name in the form: Domain\user_name. For non-Windows accounts, a valid user name in the form: providerName:user_name |
Yes |
The user login name |
permissionlevel |
A valid permission policy level to add to the permission policy. For example, Full Control, Full Read, Deny Write, or Deny All. |
Yes |
Specifies the appropriate permission policy level to grant or deny to this user. When you grant a permission, it gives the user the granted permission. However, when you deny a permission, it prevents a user from ever having this permission. Note Denying a right always supersedes granting a right. |
zone |
A valid zone, such as "Default" |
No |
When the zone parameter is not present, the policy applies to all zones. Only Windows NT accounts can be applied to all zones. Accounts in the format of providerName:user_name cannot be used for the all-zone policy. |
username |
A valid user name in the form of: Firstname Lastname |
No |
The user or display name for the policy. If the user name is specified, it will be used; otherwise Active Directory is queried to resolve a user name. |
