Examples

1: Share a resource with a specific user.

The first command gets the template object named Template01 and stores the object in the $Resource variable.

The second command shares the resource stored in $Resource (Template01) with the user named Katarina. If the user is a member of multiple self-service user roles with receive permission, then a user role must be specified.

PS C:\> $Resource = Get-SCVMTemplate | where {$_.Name -eq "Template01"}
PS C:\> Grant-SCResource "Resource $Resource "Username "Contoso\Katarina"

2: Share a resource with a user who is a member of multiple user roles.

The first command gets the template object named Template01 and stores the object in the $Resource variable.

The second command shares the resource stored in $Resource (Template01) with the user named Katarina but only while that user is using the ContosoSelfServiceUsers or SelfServiceUserRole02 user roles.

PS C:\> $Resource = Get-SCVMTemplate | where {$_.Name -eq "Template01"}
PS C:\> Grant-SCResource -Resource $Resource -Username "Contoso\Katarina" -UserRoleName @("ContosoSelfServiceUsers", "SelfServiceUserRole02")

3: Share a resource with all members of a user role.

The first command gets the template object named Template01 and stores the object in the $Resource variable.

The second command shares the resource stored in $Resource (Template01) with the members of the user role named ContosoSelfServiceUsers.

PS C:\> $Resource = Get-SCVMTemplate | where {$_.Name -eq "Template01"}
PS C:\> Grant-SCResource -Resource $Resource -UserRoleName "ContosoSelfServiceUsers"
