 NAME
   sec_rgy_pgo_add_member - Adds a person to a group or organization

 SYNOPSIS

 #include <dce/pgo.h>

 void sec_rgy_pgo_add_member(
         sec_rgy_handle_t context,
         sec_rgy_domain_t name_domain,
         sec_rgy_name_t go_name,
         sec_rgy_name_t person_name,
         error_status_t *status);

 PARAMETERS

 Input

 context
        An opaque handle bound to a registry server.  Use
        sec_rgy_site_open() to acquire a bound handle.

 name_domain
        This variable identifies the type of the person, group, or
        organization (PGO) item identified by the given name.  The
        valid values are as follows:

        sec_rgy_domain_group
                    The go_name parameter identifies a group.

        sec_rgy_domain_org
                    The go_name parameter identifies an organization.

 go_name
        A character string (type sec_rgy_name_t) containing the name
        of the group or organization to which the specified person will
        be added.

 person_name
        A character string (type sec_rgy_name_t) containing the name
        of the person to be added to the membership list of the group
        or organization specified by go_name.

 Output

 status
        A pointer to the completion status.  On successful completion,
        the routine returns error_status_ok.  Otherwise, it returns an
        error.

 DESCRIPTION

 The sec_rgy_pgo_add_member() routine adds a member to the membership
 list of a  group or organization in the registry database.

 Permissions Required

 The sec_rgy_pgo_add_member() routine requires the M (Member_list)
 permission on the group or organization item specified by go_name.
 If go_name specifies a group, the routine also requires the g
 (groups) permission on the principal person_name.

 NOTES

 An account can be added to the registry database only when all its
 constituent PGO items are already in the database, and the appropriate
 membership relationships between them are established. For example, to
 establish an account with person name tom, group name writers, and
 organization name hp, all three names must exist as independent PGO
 items in the database. Furthermore, tom must be a member of writers,
 which must be a member of hp.  (See the sec_rgy_acct_add() routine to
 add an account to the registry.)

 FILES

 SYS$COMMON:[DCE$LIBRARY]PGO.IDL
              The idl file from which dce/pgo.h was derived.

 ERRORS

 sec_rgy_not_authorized
              The client program is not authorized to add members to the
              specified group or organization.

 sec_rgy_bad_domain
              An invalid domain was specified.  A member can be added
              only to a group or organization, not a person.

 sec_rgy_object_not_found
              The registry server could not find the specified name.

 sec_rgy_server_unavailable
              The DCE Registry Server is unavailable.

 error_status_ok
              The call was successful.
