Create new user with a new role

JuanCarlosrl — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 10:39:09 GMT

Hi,

In the storage when I want to register a new user, only 4 roles appear (admin, none, readonly and backup) but I need a user role so that I only have the possibility of creating / deleting and modifying quotas.

I have seen the following information to create new roles

https://docs.netapp.com/ocsc-41/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.netapp.doc.ocsc-isg%2FGUID-D39A6ACE-D69D-4470-ABE4-A63A7803E880.html

but I have not found any option -cmddirname of type quota, is there that possibility?

Thanks,

Hi @JuanCarlosrl ,

Based on what you are describing it sounds like you want to create a custom role for users to just create/modify/delete quotas.

You can reference the following links:

I believe the command you are looking for will be similar to this:

security login role create -role (rolename) -cmddirname "volume quota" -access (all,none,readonly)

Let us know if you have any additional questions.

Thanks
