NimbostratusWhich user role to use iControlREST
I want to use the iControlREST to manage iRule/data-group and iRule/iFile. I have a user that has role "iRule Manager", I can manage those objects in the web interface, but when I try to query the REST API I got 401 errors. I'm using "BIG-IP 11.5.1 Build 4.0.128 Hotfix HF4". Did my user need other access to query the iControlREST?
I'm trying with this command: curl -k -u user:pass -H “Content-Type: application/json” -X GET https://my.bigip.ip.address/mgmt/tm/ltm
I believe I have read on here that iControl REST currently requires Administrative role to work properly.

Thank you for your answer. Look like we need iControlRest to work with the UI roles. That's bad to give an application/generic user admin access.
