"system-cli" privilege in cDOT?

What roles does a user need to be endowed with for system-cli access in cDOT?

A user has role "admin" access to application "ontapi" on the admin server. I can verify this at a high-level with just "system-get-version":

<results status="passed"><build-timestamp>1369153754</build-timestamp><is-clustered>true</is-clustered><version>NetApp Release 8.2 Cluster-Mode: Tue May 21 09:29:14 PDT 2013</version><version-tuple><system-version-tuple><generation>8</generation><major>2</major><minor>0</minor></system-version-tuple></version-tuple></results></netapp>

<results status="passed">

        <build-timestamp>1369153754</build-timestamp>

        <is-clustered>true</is-clustered>

        <version>NetApp Release 8.2 Cluster-Mode: Tue May 21 09:29:14 PDT 2013</version>

        <version-tuple>

                <system-version-tuple>

                        <generation>8</generation>

                        <major>2</major>

                        <minor>0</minor>

                </system-version-tuple>

        </version-tuple>

</results>

...but attempting to execute system-flu gets "account not configured to connect in this manner":

<system-cli>

        <args>

                <arg>volume</arg>

                <arg>show</arg>

                <arg>space</arg>

        </args>

</system-cli>

<results status="passed">

        <cli-output>Error: Account not configured to connect in this manner.</cli-output>

        <cli-result-value>0</cli-result-value>

</results>

Any hints as to what I'm missing?

Got to the bottom of this -- "system-cli" requires access to the "console" role. I would've hoped that showed up in audit logs, but might not have been looking at them properly.

Thanks, just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing some unusual structuring (e.g. magic phrasing of "system node run".

The ontapi goes to the cluster admin.  Have fun parsing df. 

Don't worry -- it was just illustrative

Hi Kevin,

The error looks like CLI error because it is in the cli-ouput element.  Does 'version' work with system-cli?  Also you can check your role with "security login roll show-user-capability" and see if admin is allowed to user system-cli.

Gah, tunnel vision, thanks.

Interestingly, yes, though trying to figure out what other cluster-wide commands would. Though I know we're in undocumented territory, are there at least some examples to dig around?

Also you can check your role with "security login roll show-user-capability" and see if admin is allowed to user system-cli.

Not valid, but here's what I think you're getting at. The 'version' example would -seem- to imply security roles are proper, but 'system node run -node <foo> version.' and other "bare" (e.g. "df") examples fail with the same error.

admin.vserver::> security login role show-user-capability

Error: "show-user-capability" is not a recognized command

admin.vserver::> security login role show -user         

Error: invalid argument "-user"

admin.vserver::> security login role show -capability

Error: invalid argument "-capability" 

admin.vserver::> security login role show -role admin

           Role          Command/                                      Access

Any tips would be appreciated.

Hi Kevin,

Here is my input file:

Here is the command:
