Subparameter

Description

-b <server_name>

This subparameter specifies the BlackBerry Device Service instance for the action (for example, server1).

Use the name of the BlackBerry Device Service instance as it appears in the BlackBerry Administration Service.

-cgroup <group_name>

This subparameter removes the specified user account from the group.

-group <group_name>

This subparameter specifies the name of the group that you want to add the user account to.

-it_policy <IT_policy_name>

This subparameter specifies the name of the IT policy that you want to assign to the user account.

You can view a list of the IT policies that are available in the MDM domain. You can also display the list if you run the tool with the -list -it_policies parameter.

-u <user_name>

This subparameter specifies the user account for the action. Searches are not case-sensitive. If the value that you specify contains a space, enclose the value in quotation marks (for example, "Julie Palmer").

Examples of searching for user accounts:
  • -u "Julie Palmer" -utype display_name
  • -u jpalmer@test.rim.net -utype email_address

If you do not specify a type using the -utype subparameter, the tool searches for user accounts using the display name first, then the email address. By default, searches match on substrings. For example, if you specify -u jpalmer@test.rim.net, and your organization's environment contains the user accounts jpalmer@test.rim.net, ojpalmer@test.rim.net, and rjpalmer@test.rim.net, the search identifies all three user accounts as valid results. If the tool finds more than one user account, the tool selects the user account that matches the value that you specified exactly (in this case, jpalmer@test.rim.net).

If the tool finds more than one user account, and none of the user accounts match the value that you specified exactly, the tool returns an error message stating that multiple matches were found.

If you do not want searches to match on substrings, specify the value using the following format: "\"<email_address_or_display_name>\"" (for example, "\"jpalmer@test.rim.net\"").

-utype <type>

This subparameter specifies which of the following options the tool uses to search for the user account:
  • display_name
  • email_address
  • login_name: name that the account uses to log in to the BlackBerry Administration Service
