Phil,
So that level of control/access is at the Cluster level and not at the SVM
level. If you want to do something like this with delegated access, WFA is
definitely one way. Other alternatives is to use automation via Ansible in
conjunction with Ansible Tower. There you can use predefined playbooks to
perform the operations that you want, using naming standard that you want.
And, use Ansible Tower to control who has the rights to execute the
playbooks at certain levels.

André M. Clark

Hello,
Thanks for the responses. I should have included more details, apologies.
Environment:
* ONTAP 9.3 P19 (9.7 by EoY)
* Windows Server 2008/2012/2016
* vSphere 6.0 (6.7 by EoY)
* RHEL7/8 based Linux hosts
The following summarizes the SVM scoped privs we'd like them to have
via System Manager:
* Provision RW Flexvols
* Create Junction Paths
* Provision DR Flexvols
* Provision CIFS Shares
* Configure CIFS share permissions
* Provision NFS exports
* Configure export policies
* Manage local SVM user accounts (multiprotocol access / user mappings)
* Create and manage Snapmirror relationships
* Create and manage snapshot policies
We'd like to stay away from delegating cluster level privs so no need
for them to create SVM's , LIF's, etc - the platform team will
continue to do that.
We do use VSC today. But that doesnt address general use CIFS shares
and NFS exports.
My understanding is WFA is being retired. Is this not true?
Cheers,
Phil
