Parameters
| Parameter | Required | Type | Description | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| UserName | Required | System.String | Specifies the name of the user you want to remove from the SharePoint_Shell_Access role in the specified database. | ||
| AssignmentCollection | Optional | Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell.SPAssignmentCollection | Manages objects for the purpose of proper disposal. Use of objects, such as SPWeb or SPSite, can use large amounts of memory and use of these objects in Windows PowerShell scripts requires proper memory management. Using the SPAssignment object, you can assign objects to a variable and dispose of the objects after they are needed to free up memory. When SPWeb, SPSite, or SPSiteAdministration objects are used, the objects are automatically disposed of if an assignment collection or the Global parameter is not used.
| ||
| Confirm | Optional | System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter | Prompts you for confirmation before executing the command. For more information, type the following command: get-help about_commonparameters | ||
| database | Optional | Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell.SPDatabasePipeBind | Specifies the GUID of the database or the Databse Object that includes the SharePoint_Shell_Access role from which the user is to be removed. If the database parameter is not specified, the configuration database is used. | ||
| WhatIf | Optional | System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter | Displays a message that describes the effect of the command instead of executing the command. For more information, type the following command: get-help about_commonparameters |
