BIG-IP : account to use with iControl API

BIG-IP 11.4.1 Build 608.0 Final VE

 

I need an account that is used only for calls to iControl API to update Data Group Files.

 

I'd like this account to have the minimum set of permissions possible.

 

What type of account should I create ?

    The iRule manager role looks like it might be a good fit.

      Thanks DMC. It's not clear from the docs which accounts have ability to update Data Group Files. Candidates are : Resource Administrator , Manager , iRule Manager. Any idea ?
