Is there anyway to create F5 User with only ASM module read-only access?

Dears,

 

I need to customize the Application Security Editor role to be read-only, i am wondering if this can customized locally or through remote authorization?

 

Please let me know if this is feasible?

 

Regards, Muhannad

  • Dear Blakely,

     

    Thanks for you answer, this role don't meet my requirements since it will have access to all partitions.

     

    In my case i need to restrict the access to ASM only in specific partition, can this be implemented if i have used remote authorization?

  • Muhannad,

     

    No - remote authorization just assigns a specific user role once the user is authenticated. It does not provide additional scope for more restrictive access controls.

     

  • create a user with role: Guest and grant permissions to one partition only. The guest user will have read-only access to /Common and your chosen partition. There is no way of limiting that user to ASM menus only unfortunately.

    One option would be to make use of BIG-IQ. This has a Web App Security Viewer role. Also, in the latest version (5.4) F5 have introduced fine grained RBAC so you can select particular objects and assign particular rights.
