[clustered ONTAP] Minimal security capabilities for SnapDrive

[mrinal]

Greetings,

Am looking for guidance on the minimal access that would be required by a user account that is assigned to manage a Vserver with LUNs using SnapDrive. The SnapDrive for Windows guide suggests using the 'vsadmin' account (Page 29 of the Admin Guide). However this is not acceptable to customers that are looking to use the 'vsadmin' account for wider access. These customers would like to create a new role that is specific and limited to the user account managing LUNs.

Is is fair to assume that the security role will be the same for SDW and SDU?
