I can create a user and add a user to a role from the command line:
$ drush user-create organizer1
$ drush user-add-role organizer organizer1
There is no role named: organizer
However, I don't know how to create a role from the command line.
I found this module to modify the perms of a role:
http://drupal.org/project/drush_role
But still I am not able to find a way to create a role
The answer is here: https://drupal.stackexchange.com/questions/56451/creating-a-new-user-role-with-drush
Summary is: update to the latest Drush to be able to do it.
Apparently thee is no drush command to do it. I have resolved it by accessing the database directly:
$ drush sql-query --db-prefix "INSERT INTO {role} (name, weight) VALUES('organizer', 3)"
test_command "sql-query --db-prefix \"INSERT INTO {role} (name, weight) VALUES('organizer', 3)\"" $?
$ drush sql-query --db-prefix "UPDATE {role} SET weight=4 WHERE (name='administrator')"
Please take into account that this solution only works for MySQL.
Should be used by drush command.
drush user-add-role "power user" 5,user3
Add the "power user" role to the accounts with name, id, or email 5 or user3
This works for me in D7:
drush php-eval 'user_role_save((object) array("name"=>"administrator"));'
If you also want to make the new role the super-admin role:
drush php-eval 'variable_set("user_admin_role", end(array_keys(user_roles())))';
Afterwards, the following creates a new "super-admin" user:
drush user-create Dries --mail="dries@example.com" --password="iheartjoomla"
drush user-add-role administrator Dries
