Hi,

I’m trying to change user right via CLI : add rw permission to a test-user on a test-repository.  
i found this command

sudo -u web php /var/www/html/cmd.php -u=admin -r=test-repo -a=edit --sub\_action=update\_user\_right --user\_id=test-user --right=rw

output

Applying action ‘edit’ on workspace test-repo (xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx)  
: Could not find action edit

Some suggestion?

thx

Hi,  
you should use this command `sudo -u www-data php <your-pydio>/cmd.php -u=USER -p=PASSWORD -r=ajxp_conf -a=user_update_right --user_id='' --repository_id='<id>' --right='rw'`

if you have access to the database cli you can use this command to find the `repository_id`=

```auto

FROM ajxp_repo

WHERE display='<the displayed name of the workspace>'

```
