    Document said: " The ConfigSync User setting allows you to specify the name of the user

     

    who is allowed to perform configuration synchronization. In order for

     

    configuration synchronization to function correctly, the name and password

     

    for the ConfigSync User account must be the same on both BIG-IP units.

     

    Whenever you change the ConfigSync User password, the BIG-IP system

     

    reminds you to update the password on the peer unit."

     

    Does thsi mean that this is the user account who will be only able to Sync Conf , other users ( even with admin privilidege ) will not be able to sync conf ?
