Granular selection of user ROLE controls, or custom roles

We need the ability to build a role that allows an user to resume a replication session, but not alter the session(s). Additionally, we would like this role to be able to take flash copies. OR the ability to build a custom role where all functions/activities could be selected or deselected from a role. The current USER role gives too much access to our operators, while the monitor role does not allow them to resume a session after a session drops. Custom roles may be the most flexible option here.

    We'll look into the request. In the meantime, you might be able to take advantage of CSM's Dual Control capabilities to prevent someone with "too" much authority from doing something you deem too dangerous.
