Partitions
Is there a way to make some nodes to member multiple partitions?

There is not. If you need to access an object from different partitions, I'd recommend creating that object in the Common partition.

This is what we need may be you need different solution recommendation;
a user has to enable disable some nodes and that node also has to be member or different partition so same machine has to accesed by another user but that another user should not access the other nodes that first user has extra access
node 1 - usera - userb node 2 - userb
So how can i setup that usera only controls node 1 on list and userb only controls node 1 and node 2. So If i can not do this with partition seperation how can i do it?

So F5 has no way to make user x to access some sources and user y access same and some other sources only since I can not use multiple partition on a user.
Then How i suppose to migrate from netscaler with this problem. Cause on netscaler side I can able to do this for our devs to access only specific stuff that only allow them to use. Yes with a little customization but it works. But since i do my research could not find a way on F5 side?

My opinion is that the user roles make things too complex, and make the system prone to potential unknown issues. There are sometimes things that don't work as they should and the admin-users will complain about having to modify the app design. Too much rights could render the system unstable due to changes that are not understood, and too little would not achieve what these users want.
If you want to give the admin-user a way to disable a node, you could design multiple health monitors that the app admin can use to control the status of the nodes/pool members on the app servers themselves.

Not admins to use privilege on. Developers has to have enable/disable their apps pool members when they need to do. So There is no way then as i understand. On netscaler side this works perfectly for us and there is no complexity. Thanks for answers
