add_pamapp_to_role

Use the add_pamapp_to_role command to add a PAM application right to the currently selected role stored in memory. The PAM application right must already exist. You can create PAM application rights using new_pam_app.

The add_pamapp_to_role command does not change the role as it is stored Active Directory. The command only changes the role stored in memory. You must save the role using save_role before the added PAM application takes effect in Active Directory. If you select another role or quit ADEdit before saving the role, any PAM application rights you’ve added since the last save won’t take effect.

You can only use the add_pamapp_to_role if the currently selected zone is a classic4 or hierarchical zones. The command does not work in other types of zones.
