Description

The Grant-HgsKeyProtectorAccess cmdlet grants a Host Guardian Service guardian access to a key protector. This operation requires the private signing key of the owner of the key protector.

Examples

Example 1: Grant access to a guardian

$Owner        = Get-HgsGuardian -Name "Guardian06"
$Guardian01   = Get-HgsGuardian -Name "Guardian11"
$KeyProtector = New-HgsKeyProtector -Owner $Owner
Grant-HgsKeyProtectorAccess -KeyProtector $KeyProtector -Guardian $Guardian01

The first command gets the guardian object named Guardian06 by using the Get-HgsGuardian cmdlet, and then stores that object in the $Owner variable.

The second commands get the guardian object named Guardian11, and then stores it in the $Guardian01 variable.

The third command creates a key protector. The command defines Guardian06, stored in $Owner, as the Owner.

The final command grants access to the guardian stored in $Guardian01 for the key protector.
