pseudo admin to administer and manage the box/users without access to destructive commands


We would like to have the ability to create a pseudo admin userid which has the ability access and manage all settings on the ds8ks and perform user account management but without all the other powerful options / dscli commands commonly used by the "op_volume,op_storage and op_copy_services" roles.

I was hoping to create my own role, but I found when looking that access to the "manage local user accounts, user roles
, remote authentication and network security" are specifically exclusive to the administrator role.

I would also like potential harmful activity i.e switching the box off, even as far as removing things dual controlled.
