[chef-dev] Re: can add a role under another role ?

[Siddheshwar More < >]

Yes you can. 

Actually roles contains other role + recipes, at runlist execution time all roles evaluated in order. 
Ex: 
Role1 = [recipe[recipe1]]
Role2(contains role1) = [role[role1], recipe[recipe2]]

and your Node runlist contains Role2 then,
at execution time Role2  becomes => [recipe[recipe1], recipe[recipe2] ]
Final runlist contains only recipes.

To add one Role to another Role you can use https://manage.opscode.com/ go to Roles->select role (i.e in which you want add other roles) -> edit -> and then by using drag and drop you can add or remove roles+recipes from runlist

Or

You can use knife plugin to edit role see $knife role --help

Hi All,

Is it possible to add a role directly under another role ?. 

Say I have these two roles "myserver_mysql" and "myserver_webservice". created already. Can I add these roles directly under a base role "myserver_all" ?

myserver_all 

                  |__myserver_mysql

                  |__myserver_webservice

thanks
