    boneyard Yes, I have checked the F5 kb articles and it seems that I can't provide bash as console access to remote user. However, I still looking for a way to run script via script management in big-iq with remote user.

      Ah, there is specific situation where you run a script from BIG-IQ?

      Can't the script first do that run util bash?

        boneyard Actually I am trying to use the script management option of Big-Iq for various purposes, checking pre and post upgrade stats, logs etc.

        With admin local user, I can give terminal access as Advanced shell and run the scripts via Big-Iq to Big-Ip's but as per policy I have to keep it disabled. So, I was trying to modify remote user with terminal access as bash to run the scripts.

        But as per F5 kb's and design seems it's not possible.
