Predefined roles for cluster administrators

Data ONTAP offers predefined roles for cluster administrators that should meet most of your needs. You can create custom roles as necessary.

The following table lists the predefined roles for cluster administrators:

This role...	Has this level of access...	To the following commands or command directories
admin	all	All command directories (DEFAULT)
autosupport	all	set system node autosupport
autosupport	none	All other command directories (DEFAULT)
backup	all	vserver services ndmp
	readonly	volume
	none	All other command directories (DEFAULT)
readonly	all	security login password set
	none	security
	readonly	All other command directories (DEFAULT)
none	none	All command directories (DEFAULT)

Note: The autosupport role is assigned to the predefined autosupport account, used by AutoSupport OnDemand. Data ONTAP prevents you from modifying or deleting the autosupport account. It also prevents you from assigning the autosupport role to other user accounts.
