HMC - Turn OFF/ON attention led is not working for user with role other then hmcsuperadmin

System: Hardware Management Console

Actor: Server Administrator


Description: Administrator use HMC to managed Server and perform task on VIOS system from HMC console.
HMC allow to change attention led status (turn on / off) also HMC allow to execute command on VIOS server without logging to VIOS.
Tunr off / on attention led require role hmcsuperadmin, executing command on VIOS required Vios AdminOp task.
Add task ViosAdminOp is possible only to custom role, role hmcsuperadmin does not contain task ViosAdminOp.
When user have role other than hmcsuperadmin there is no posibility to turn on/off attention led.
It is not possible to have ViosAdminOp task and also have permission to manage attention led.
Both function are regularly used but both cant be done by thesame user, because change lead status is hardcoded with role hmcsuperadmin and it not posible to execute it with custom rele even of role is based on hmcsuperadmin.
