Looks like it would be much easier to add a regular IPA user and assign
all required permissions, right?
Yes, you can start by reading Managing role-based access controls in IdM
using the CLI <https://docs.redhat.com/en/documentation/
Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/9/html/
managing_idm_users_groups_hosts_and_access_control_rules/managing-role-
based-access-controls-in-idm-using-the-cli_managing-users-groups-hosts>
and Configuring IdM for external provisioning of users <https://
docs.redhat.com/en/documentation/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/9/html/
managing_idm_users_groups_hosts_and_access_control_rules/configuring-
idm-for-external-provisioning-of-users_managing-users-groups-hosts>.
FreeIPA already provides roles for User Management. If the permissions
are too broad for your use case, you can follow the 2nd link and tailor
it to suit your needs.
Thanks for confirming. Fortunately, I am aware of both links you
provided. We implemented and tested everything on our IPA test instance.
Just need to switch from Directory Manager to a designated user for this
particular scenario.
