That's not supposed to be the case. In 4.x, if the user has the the "corba_iControl" or "soap_iControl" privilege then that user is allowed to make method calls. From what I can remember that was only Administrative accounts, not read-only users.

 

 

As far as I know, nothing has changed on the 4.x platform to elevate read-only users permissions. If you need a resolution to this, I'd suggest you open a support ticket with F5 Product Support.
