Hi Phil,

this is the PUT request I've just used to grant the guest-user "Test" read-only access to my pool related APIs...

PUT https://1.1.1.1/mgmt/shared/authz/roles/iControl_REST_API_User

{"userReferences":[{"link":"https://localhost/mgmt/shared/authz/users/Test"}],"resources":[{"resourceMask":"/mgmt/tm/ltm/pool","restMethod":"GET"},{"resourceMask":"/mgmt/tm/ltm/pool/*","restMethod":"GET"},{"resourceMask":"/mgmt/tm/ltm/pool/*/*","restMethod":"GET"},{"resourceMask":"/mgmt/tm/ltm/pool/*/*/*","restMethod":"GET"}]}

Cheers, Kai
