Administrators
Every action in zlman is governed by the access limitations of the administrator. The initial
Administrator account created during the initial installation has rights to all objects. Additional
administrator accounts you create are granted read-only rights by default. These accounts must
be explicitly granted rights to any objects they are to manage.
Folders
If no folder is specified for commands that take a folder argument, the command targets the
root folder. To specify a folder path, list each folder from the root separated by a forward slash
(/). For example, if you have a folder named folder1 in the root, containing a subfolder named
subfolder1, you would reference this folder as folder1/subfolder1. Each specified folder must
already exist.
Ellipsis (...)
An ellipsis indicates that a command accepts multiple entries of the last argument type. For
example, the ellipsis in the following command indicates that
catalog-add-bundle
can
accept multiple bundles:
zlman catalog-add-bundle [options] [catalog] [bundle] [...]
Option Flags
Commands that do not have command-specific options (they accept only the standard option
flags) do not have options listed as an argument in the command reference. For example, the
reference entry for the following command does not list options because it accepts only the
standard flags:
zlman workstation-list [folder] [filter]
However, the following command lists options because the command has a command-specific
option (-a):
zlman workstation-messages [options] [workstation name]
RC File
Creating a
.zlmanrc
file in your home directory enables you to provide global options that are
added to each command. For example, adding
-U Administrator -P password
causes each
command to read your username and password from this file instead of prompting. To bypass the
options stored in this file, use the
--ignore-rc-file
option.
Commands
All of the commands below accept the option flags listed in the Global Options section. In addition,
they accept individual options as listed with each command.
Administrator Commands
These commands are used to create and adjust administrator accounts. Administrator commands
begin with word
admin
in the long form or the letter
a
in the short form.
