# ipa permission-show "Add Automount keys"
  Permission name: Add Automount keys
  Permissions: add
  Subtree: ldap:///automountkey=*,automountmapname=*,cn=automount,dc=testrelm,dc=com
  Granted to Privilege: Automount Administrators


Bug 782847 prompts for all parameters.....but will eventually rename the permission

# ipa permission-mod "Add Automount keys" --rename="AAA"
