Answer

To create and assign a role that includes only the necessary APIs, please refer to the following example:
  1. Create a Security Role:
To create a new role, use the `security login role create` command. For instance, to create a new role with read-only access permissions, execute the following:

security login role create -vserver vserver_name -role role_name -cmddirname "API_or_COMMAND" -access readonly

Note：
Here, `vserver_name` is the name of the Vserver, `role_name` is the name of the role to be created, `API_or_COMMAND` is the directory name of the command or API to which access is granted, and `readonly` signifies read-only access. Other access levels such as `none` or `all` can also be used.
  1. Assign the Role to a User:
To assign the new role to a user, use the `security login create` or `security login modify` command. For example, to assign a new role to an existing user, execute the following:

security login modify -vserver vserver_name -username user_name -role role_name

Note：
Here, `vserver_name` is the name of the Vserver, `user_name` is the name of the user, and `role_name` is the name of the role to be assigned.
  1. Verify the Configuration:
To confirm that the settings have been correctly applied, use the `security login role show` or `security login show` commands to check the role and user configurations.
 
Note：
  • Operating on the ONTAP command line requires caution.
  • Executing an incorrect command could potentially impact the system, so ensure you have a thorough understanding and have confirmed the commands before execution.
  • Additionally, the commands provided above are examples, and you must specify the correct parameters according to the actual environment and requirements.
