You can asign a role to a user by executing the following script:

import ch.ivyteam.ivy.security.ISecurityContext;
import ch.ivyteam.ivy.security.IUser;
import ch.ivyteam.ivy.security.IRole;

ISecurityContext securityContext = ivy.wf.getApplication().getSecurityContext();
IUser user = securityContext.findUser("myUser");
IRole role = securityContext.findRole("myRole");
user.addRole(role);

This will assign the role permanantely to the user.

Note that the role assignment is not forwarded automatically to sessions of the user. The user has to log out and login again so that he can act as the role.
