Disabling the root account's access to the storage system prevents the root account from logging in to the system or executing any commands.
Considerations
You can disable root access if you are a non-root user with the security-complete-user-control security capability, and
if you access the storage system through Telnet, RSH, SSH, HTTP Admin, NDMP, or the serial console.
Disabling root access is not supported if you access the storage system through the RLM.
Step
Enter the following command: options security.passwd.rootaccess.enable off
The default is on.
To reset the security.passwd.rootaccess.enable option to on to enable root access, a user must first change the root account's password.
