Operator user can't use get_list?

Hi,

I have a user that is an operator and has 'Partition Access' set to 'All'. However when I try to do this:

 

 

 

(Initialize-F5.iControl -HostName $F5_ip -username $Username -password $Password)

 

(Get-F5.iControl).LocalLBNodeAddress.get_list()

 

 

 

 

The answer is pretty much nothing. However, if I do the same thing as above with the admin username / password combo I get a list of all the node addresses. What permissions are needed for my now operator-user in order to get that list?

 

 

 

Thanks in advance!

    I use an account that is only a Guest as well.

     

     

    These are the permissions I have applied:

     

     

    Partition: Common

     

    Role: Guest

     

    Partition Access: All

     

    Terminal Access: bigpipe shell

     

     

    Do you have Administrative Domains and Partitions Configured? If so, you might need to set the Active Partition.

    I apologize. I mis-read. So I set my accounts permissions to Operator as well and retested.

     

     

    I go the same results as with Guest.

     

     

    I am using the .NET iControl through a Web Application though and not POSH, but that shouldn't make a difference.
