ZFS Rights Profiles

If you want to perform ZFS management tasks without using the superuser (root) account, you can assume a role with either of the following profiles to perform ZFS administration tasks:

• ZFS Storage Management – Provides the ability to create, destroy, and manipulate devices within a ZFS storage pool

• ZFS File system Management – Provides the ability to create, destroy, and modify ZFS file systems

For more information about creating or assigning roles, see System Administration Guide: Security Services.

In addition to using RBAC roles for administering ZFS file systems, you might also consider using ZFS delegated administration for distributed ZFS administration tasks. For more information, see Chapter 8, ZFS Delegated Administration.
