Description

Use Case: repoinit should be able to set properties on users and groups that were just created

The solution here could be similar to how SLING-8757 added the syntax to set ACL on the user home folder but for the "set properties" action.

I'm thinking of a path syntax of authorizable(id) instead of home(id) to maintain the abstraction between the Authorizable apis and where those are stored. 

The syntax would look something like this:

 

# set properties on user or group profile
set properties on authorizable(alice),authorizable(grpA)
  set pathArray to /d/e/f/*, m/n/*
  default someInteger{Long} to 42
  set someFlag{Boolean} to true
  default someDate{Date} to "2020-03-19T11:39:33.437+05:30"
  set customSingleValueStringProp to test
  set customSingleValueQuotedStringProp to "hello, you!"
  set stringArray to test1, test2
  default someInteger{Long} to 65
  set quotedA to "Here's a \"double quoted string\" with suffix"
  set quotedMix to "quoted", non-quoted, "the last \" one"
  set nested/someInteger{Long} to 42
end

# set properties on a subtree of the user or group profile
set properties on authorizable(bob)/nested,authorizable(grpB)/nested
  set pathArray to /d/e/f/*, m/n/*
  default someInteger{Long} to 42
  set someFlag{Boolean} to true
  default someDate{Date} to "2020-03-19T11:39:33.437+05:30"
  set customSingleValueStringProp to test
  set customSingleValueQuotedStringProp to "hello, you!"
  set stringArray to test1, test2
  default someInteger{Long} to 65
  set quotedA to "Here's a \"double quoted string\" with suffix"
  set quotedMix to "quoted", non-quoted, "the last \" one"
  set nested/someInteger{Long} to 42
end
