[AG-DEV] Problems with AddRole

[Michael Miller]

Hello,

So here's my code:
self.am = AuthorizationManagerIW(venueAuthUrl)
SomeUsersrole=Role('SomeUsers',participant.GetSubject())
            try:
                self.am.AddRole(SomeUsersrole)
             except:
                print "error adding role"
And here's the errors:
On the VenueManagement side:

<Fault SOAP-ENV:Server: Method Failed: 
Venues:000001060cf687a3008d008e00de001138
6:Authorization:AddRole>
error adding role

On the Server side:
************************************************************************
*** Method 
Venues:000001060cf687a3008d008e00de0011386:Authorization:AddRole exce
ption
Traceback (most recent call last):

    fr = apply(f, ordered_args, named_args)
  File 
"C:\Python23\Lib\site-packages\AccessGrid\Security\AuthorizationManager.p
y", line 657, in AddRole
    r = Role.CreateRole(role)
  File "C:\Python23\Lib\site-packages\AccessGrid\Security\Role.py", line 
95, in
CreateRole
    n = role.name
AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'name'


Looking at the AuthorizationManagerIW and related code, I see that when 
the role object is passed, it is used in a Role.CreateRole call each 
step of the way.  Is there a reason for this? Does the role object 
change as it is passed from one function to another? or is there some 
intermediate step I am missing?

Any ideas?
