iControl permissions

Hi there     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.   ...

Hi BB,

 

 

iControl authentication and authorization is done based on the user account specified in the iControl calls. If you prevent someone from getting the admin credentials they wouldn't be able to use admin functionality via iControl. If you give someone the admin credentials they'd be able to make admin level changes via the GUI and/or iControl.
