# protected path modify-member

This command modifies the capabilities for a protectedpath stream.

## Usage

```plaintext
protectedpath modify-member --id ID
                            --stream-id ID
                            --capabilities ASYNC_REPLICATION | STARED_GLOBAL_NAMESPACE | REPLICATION_AND_GN | SYNC_REPLICATION]                          
```

## Required Parameters

| `--id ID` | The protected path ID. |
| --- | --- |
| `--stream-id ID` | The replication stream by its ID. |
| `--capabilities ASYNC_REPLICATION \| STARED_GLOBAL_NAMESPACE \| REPLICATION_AND_GN \| SYNC_REPLICATION` | The mode or purpose of the protected path: - ASYNC_REPLICATION. The path is used for Asynchronous Replication - STARED_GLOBAL_NAMESPACE. The path is used for Global Access - REPLICATION_AND_GN. The path is used for Global Access and Asynchronous Replication. This configures the path for Global Access, but also captures snapshots as with Asynchronous Replication, that can be used if the Global Access connection drops on the replication group. - SYNC_REPLICATION. The path is used for Synchronous Replication. If SYNC_REPLICATION is specified, `--sync-disconnect-time `must also be specified. If not specified, ASYNC_REPLICATION is assumed. |

## Example

This example changes a stream to Synchronous replication.

```plaintext
vcli: admin> protectedpath modify-member --id 1 --stream-id 2 --capabilities SYNC_REPLICATION
```
