Sub-Command: connection
Prerequisites: Ensure that the PAM user credential, PAM Machine or PAM Database records are staged in a shared folder - that there is a gateway configured, and everything is tied together in a PAM Configuration.
This command will edit KCM connection parameters and user accounts that are attached to PAM Machine and PAM Database records. The process can be done in bulk with the run-batch command.

record The record UID or path of the PAM resource record with network information to use for
connections
options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--configuration CONFIG, -c CONFIG
The PAM Configuration UID or path to use for connections. Use command `pam config list` to
view available PAM Configurations.

Resource
--protocol {,http,kubernetes,mysql,postgresql,rdp,sql-server,ssh,telnet,vnc}, -p {,http,kubernetes,mysql,postgresql,rdp,sql-server,ssh,telnet,vnc}
