GUI role for user with permissions to only manage Quota on Spectrum Scale

We have several divisions who would need to manage their own quota on Spectrum Scale.

According to the IBM DEV Team and Lab Services, users with one of the following roles should have access to the filesets/quotas:

  • securityadmin

  • admin

  • protocoladmin

  • csiadmin

However, we cannot give those users the roles that are described as these are not restrictive enough. From the following link we see all the roles:

https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/spectrum-scale/5.1.2?topic=administering-managing-gui-users

There are for example SnapAdmin or DataAccess roles, which have very limited permissions and only have permissions to run snapshots or change ACLs.

We would like to know if there could be a new role created, i.e. a “QuotaAdmin” role in a future version or is there a possibility to edit a role that only can define quota’s.
