Allowing specific user privileges

Is there a way to allow a user, in 10.1.0, to update iRules for a specific container but not have the ability to change pools, virtuals or other admin functions?

    I don't think there is an LTM role which would allow a user to change just an iRule. You could build a simple iControl based application which would support changing just iRule(s).

  • The closest you are going to get to what you need is an implementation of Administrative Domains and Partitions.

     

     

    The User would still have a higher level of rights than what you want them to have, but they would be restricted to modifications of things within that Partition Only and not the entire F5 / LTM.

     

     

    Another thing of note is that Nodes, iRules, Virtual Servers, and Pools are compartmentalized in an ADP implementation.

     

     

    -Everything can use what is in the Common Partition

     

    -Common Partition cannot use anything in any other partition

     

    -Partitions cannot use any resources located in any different partition (other than Common).

     

  • Thanks guys, I had already used extensive partitioning, so maybe allowing him admin rights in his partition wouldn't be too bad, the only person he could mess up would be himself.

     

     

    Thanks again,
