From what I hear from my students, most of the time they solve this problem by telling the admins to use the MMC. 

Would that solve your problem? 
They can create shares in existing volumes there... If necessary the volumes could auto-grow... And it's a familiar interface and you could give them access easily with their domain accounts and the predefined role vsadmin-protocol (or vsadmin-volume).

Just saying...

Toasters,

I work with a team of Windows Server admins who are open to
provisioning their own storage but strongly prefer a GUI.   I'd like
to provide this ability by granting System Manager access to the
specific SVM's that host their resources.

Much to my chagrin, it doesn't appear RBAC allows for System Manager
access to particular SVMs.   Instead, privileges must be granted at
the cluster level which of course means those privs are effective for
all data SVMs (this is a non-starter).

Per NetApp docs, my only option appears to be SVM level RBAC privs via
SSH.  Not quite the GUI option they are looking for but,
organizationally, we're making a push for more automation and use of
Ansible so it's not completely out of the question.

Is there an angle Im not considering that would allow for SVM level
access via System Manager?   Has anybody else come up with creative
ways to address this problem?

I'd love to hear from you.

Thanks,
Phil
