I don't know the answer but I am curious to know what exactly you are trying to achieve ? I see in the image that you are trying to add 'veeam' user, what is it for ? Are you trying to backup SVM DR ?

No what I need to do is add a new user to administrat Netapp : Veeam is an example.

Ok. Is this the system manager on the destination cluster ? so, are you currently logged into it as 'admin' ?

Ok. Is there currently any other users with admin role assigned ? Is this the first one you are adding to it? So once you logged in, you go to Cluster | Settings | Users & Roles ?

Yes I have another admin (created with CLI) not in Graphic.

but the problem with CLI tha't I can't assign several applications for the connection for this user (HTTP and ONTAPI) like this :

security login create -vserver engCluster -user-or-group-name admin1 -application ontapi, http

yes, in CLI, you need to add application separately not together:

::> security login create -vserver engCluster -user-or-group-name admin1 -application ontapi
::> security login create -vserver engCluster -user-or-group-name admin1 -application http

Anyway, I am curious to know how did you receive the original error - This operation is not permitted...?

Hi,

you cannot create a user inside a replicated SVM "-mc".
