Why each option
The 'diag' built-in account is the only user in ONTAP that can log into the system shell (also called the diagnostic shell or nodeshell) for low-level diagnostics.
The 'admin' account has full clustershell access but is not permitted to enter the system shell directly.
There is no interactive built-in 'root' user account in clustered ONTAP that can log in and access the system shell.
The 'diag' account is a built-in ONTAP user specifically provisioned to access the system shell, which allows administrators to run diagnostic commands outside the standard clustershell or nodeshell environments. This account requires a password set by the admin and is used only for advanced troubleshooting under NetApp support guidance.
The 'vserver-admin' role is scoped to SVM-level administration within the clustershell and has no access to the system shell.
