[ckan-discuss] Creating new roles

Wed Feb 29 08:37:21 GMT 2012

Hi all again.

Docs 1.5.1 mentions the possibility of creating new roles in addition
to the defaults. But i dont see any paster command to do that, nor any
web administration page. So can i do that?

The objective would be to have the datasets in a site divided into
groups. Just users of a specific authorization group would have
permissions to add/edit datasets in the respective group.

But when we i try to do something similar to this:
paster --plugin=ckan roles allow newroleX create-package read read-site
paster --plugin=ckan rights make agroup:agroupX newroleX group:groupX

I get the error:
AssertionError: Role newroleX does not exist: anon_editor, admin, editor, reader

Thank you
