I am looking for correct procedure to configure sudo users on a new Isilon (Onefs 9.2 ).
We want to stop our admins from using the "root" account. Not finding any KB in Dell site.

You can find the sudoers file in /etc/mcp/override/sudoers. It’s a pretty standard file and you can edit it like any other BSD/Linux host.

Files in /etc/mcp/override or /etc/mcp/templates will automagically be applied to all nodes in a cluster.

Thanks,

Oh, and see also the Security Guide relating to the “isi auth roles” commands for setting up good RBAC and best practices on the isilon CLI commands and configuring web ui permissions.

If you run "isi_visudo" as root, it will safely edit /etc/mcp/override/sudoers and thereby manage sudo rules across the cluster.

I would wonder if this is in any of the ansible modules?

I couldn't find it at first glance.
