iControl permissions
Is it possible to set operator permissions to the icontrol api user on the F5 bigip?
I just want that icontrol requests are able only to enable or disable pool members.
thanx for help

Many thanx for your fast answer.
Okay so iControl uses normal system permission based concept.

I have a further question.
We plan to use icontrol interface to stear pool member inactivation/activation via Microsoft's WFF (Web Farm Framework). The iControl api runs for example on a web server with IIS installed.
How do I configure API access to a floating self-ip address?
This means if someone wants to disable a pool member via icontrol he needs to know first, which bigip cluster member is the active one.
Does that mean that the api developer needs to ask first which LTM is the active one?
Many thanx for your help

- API requests will default to the "Common" partition unless you make a call to the Management.Partition.set_active_partition() method to change the current partition context. You can use the Management.UserManagement.get_my_permission() method to determine what partitions the current user has access to.
