[p4] admin - removing user from multiple groups

[Wright, Richard]

By the way, if you are using a recent version of Perforce (2004.2+, I
believe), you can count how many groups a user is in with the following:

p4 -ztag groups | grep user | sort | uniq -c

For anyone looking to attack this problem or similar problems, take a look a
the -ztag (or -G or -R for Python or Ruby) output of p4 groups in the recent
servers.  You can get a great deal of info out of it quickly.

Here's a simple shell script that counts the number of groups each user
is in:

p4 users | awk '{print $1}' | while read user
do
    printf "User %s: " $user
    p4 groups $user | wc -l
done

The question I have is what if you find a user is in more than one
group? Which group do they stay in? Anyway, this will give you a start.

Hi

Anyone got a Perl or Python script  that removes a user from being a
member of multiple groups, its part of a housekeeping excersise, just
got lots to do quickly, and not being a very good script writer at all
it'll take me longer to write it myself than do the work, so thought I'd
ask those that are good, or may have one already :-)

Many thanks
