## Delete
    $lacadmin resource delete --resource_name <name>

The `delete` command deletes the specified resource.

## Export
Provide the ident of the resource and the export file name. If the project_ident is not provided it will use the current one.
```
    $lacadmin resource export  [--project_ident <ident>] [--ident <ident>] [--resource_name <name>] --file resources.json
```
The export resource exports to the specified JSON file. If the filename parameter is not specified, stdout is used.


## Import
Provide the file name of the json file for the resource you wish to import.
```
    $lacadmin resource import  [--project_ident <ident>] --file resources.json

The import functions imports the specified JSON resource file. If the filename (--file) parameter is not specified, stdin is used. (you can pipe the json file to the import)
