Use the knife edit
subcommand to edit objects on the Chef server. This subcommand works similar to knife cookbook edit
, knife data bag edit
, knife environment edit
, knife node edit
, and knife role edit
, but with a single verb (and a single action).
This subcommand has the following syntax:
$ knife edit (options)
Note
Review the list of common options available to this (and all) knife subcommands and plugins.
This subcommand has the following options:
--chef-repo-path PATH
chef_repo_path
in client.rb.--concurrency
10
.--local
false
.--repo-mode MODE
static
, everything
, or hosted_everything
. Use static
for just roles, environments, cookbooks, and data bags. By default, everything
and hosted_everything
are dynamically selected depending on the server type. Default: everything
/ hosted_everything
.Note
See knife.rb for more information about how to add certain knife options as settings in the knife.rb file.
The following examples show how to use this knife subcommand:
Remove a user from /groups/admins.json
A user who belongs to the admins
group must be removed from the group before they may be removed from an organization. To remove a user from the admins
group, run the following:
$ EDITOR=vi knife edit /groups/admins.json
make the required changes, and then save the file.
