Change grant_management_action "update" to "add" or "append"

Issue #436 resolved
Jacob Ideskog created an issue

In order to clarify what is meant in section 3.4 with regards to updating the details of a grant using grant_management_action we propose to change the keyword from “update” to “add” or possibly “append”.

It doesn’t seem possible to do an update that removes privileges (which is possible with “replace”) and supporting proper update would require semantics to be added for each data point to describe how it should be updated (i.e. delete, replace ..) inside the update request.

Therefore we suggest that we tighten the keyword to avoid confusion or incorrect assumptions.

    I’ve already raised it some time ago. My proposal that time was to use “merge”. If we were about to make a change, I’d still lean towards “merge”. Please note that currently “merge” appears in the description of the “update” action.
