Applies to
ONTAP 9.14.1 and later
Answer
- This is a dedicated service account created for new cloud agent connections
- This service account exists in ONTAP 9.14.1 or later.
- This is a read-only account by default, using the
readonly
role. - This service account name cannot be changed or otherwise modified.
- This new service account user is per cloud agent connection.
- Up to three cloud agent connections are supported, each connection uses a unique service account.
- The service accounts will not be reused for other connections.
- Old, unused service accounts (if they exist) can be deleted.
- Deleting a service account that is currently in use will break the cloud agent connection.
