Description

The Find-RoleCapability cmdlet finds PowerShell role capabilities in modules. Find-RoleCapability searches modules in registered repositories.

For each role capability that this cmdlet finds, it returns a PSGetRoleCapabilityInfo object. You can pass a PSGetRoleCapabilityInfo object to the Install-Module cmdlet to install the module that contains the role capability.

PowerShell role capabilities define which commands, applications, and so on are available to a user at a Just Enough Administration (JEA) endpoint. Role capabilities are defined by files with a .psrc extension.

Examples

Example 1: Find all role capabilities 

PS C:\> Find-RoleCapability

Name                                Version    ModuleName                          Repository

----                                -------    ----------                          ----------

Maintenance                         1.0        Demo_Module                         PSGallery

MyJeaRole                           0.0.3      MyJeaModule                         PSGallery

MyRoleCap                           0.2.0.6    MyRoleCapabilityModule              PSGallery

This command finds all role capabilities.

Example 2: Find role capabilities by name 

PS C:\> Find-RoleCapability -Name "Maintenance,MyJeaRole"

Name                                Version    ModuleName                          Repository

----                                -------    ----------                          ----------

Maintenance                         1.0        Demo_Module                         PSGallery

MyJeaRole                           0.0.3      MyJeaModule                         PSGallery

This command finds the role capabilities named Maintenance and MyJeaRole.

Example 3: Find role capabilities and save them 

PS C:\> Find-RoleCapability -Name "Maintenance,MyJeaRole" | Save-Module -Path "C:\MyModulesPath"

PS C:\> Get-ChildItem -Path "C:\MyModulesPath"

Mode                LastWriteTime         Length Name

----                -------------         ------ ----

d-----       11/18/2015  11:46 PM                Demo_Module

d-----       10/29/2015   6:32 PM                MyJeaModule

The first command finds the role capabilities named Maintenance and MyJeaRole, and uses the pipeline operator to pass them to Save-Module, which saves the modules that contain the role capabilities to a local folder.

The second command uses Get-ChildItem to get the items saved with the prior command.

Example 4: Find role capabilities and install them 

PS C:\> Find-RoleCapability -Name "Maintenance,MyJeaRole" | Install-Module

PS C:\> Get-InstalledModule

    Version    Name                                Type       Repository           Description

    -------    ----                                ----       ----------           -----------

    1.0        Demo_Module                         Module     PSGallery            JEA RoleCapabilities

    0.0.3      MyJeaModule                         Module     PSGallery            MyJeaModule description

The first command finds the role capabilities named Maintenance and MyJeaRole, and uses the pipeline operator to pass them to Install-Module, which installs the modules.

The second command gets the installed modules.
