A local user account (Users) on the BIG-IP device is assigned the User Manager role. Userl attempts to modify the properties of another account (User2), but the action fails. The BIG-IP…

Moving User2 to User1's partition would require User1 to have permissions to modify User2 first, which is the problem, and User2 might be required to be in its current partition.

Granting User1 administrative privileges violates the principle of least privilege, as it would give User1 far more access than needed to simply modify User2's properties.

Moving User1 to the same partition as User2, while related, is less precise; the core issue is User1's *access* permissions to User2's partition, which is managed through partition access rights.

BIG-IP roles and user management are often partitioned, meaning a User Manager can only manage users within the partitions they have access to. If User1, as a User Manager, cannot modify User2, it indicates User1 lacks permission to User2's partition. Modifying User1's partition access to include the partition where User2 resides will grant User1 the necessary privileges without elevating User1 to full administrative rights, adhering to the principle of least privilege.
