sec:user-set-roles(
   $user-name as xs:string,
   $role-names as xs:string*
) as empty-sequence()

Summary

Assigns the user with name $user-name to have the roles identified by $role-names. Removes previously assigned roles.

If a user with name equal to $user-name is not found, an error is returned.

If a role name in $role-names does not correspond to an existing role, an error is returned.

If $role-names is the empty sequence, all existing roles for the user are removed.

If the current user is limited to granting only his/her roles, and $role-names is not a subset of the current user's roles or one of the removed roles is not a subset of the current user's roles, then an error is returned.
