HMC REST API changing Performance Stats Preferences should not need full superAdmin privileges

Switching on the collection of performance data should not require the full superAdmin privileges that let the user do absolutely everything (including total destruction) to all the Virtual Machines and Servers.

    Hi,

    The user must have ManageUtilizationData task access to be able to change the PCM preference settings and the task should be available for a hmcoperator role as well and a new role can be created with that task if a subset of tasks are only required. Please let us know if this solves your requirement.

    Documentation of task at https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/P8ESS/p8ehl/concepts/PerformanceCapacityMonitor.htm

    Thanks.
