user:role:add for email addresses in Drush 9/10?

Question

In Drush 8, you can add a role to an email address like this:

drush user-add-role "power user" [email protected]

In Drush 9, the --mail option no longer exists for user:role:add.

So, if I only have an email address, how can I add a role to the user account?

Answer 1

Maybe there are better ways, but the following should work:

drush user-add-role "power user" $(drush user-information [email protected] --field=name)

You get the user name from the e-mail address using the user-information command.
