The course-role-access-control command-line tool assigns the permissions associated with the file or directory at a given path to a course role. The course must exist in Blackboard Learn, and the path must correspond to an existing file or directory. The grant of no permissions can be specified by using none, for example, to remove all permissions for a given role.
