Closed as program error.
Error description
In a system with enhanced RBAC turned on, a user in the system group is not able to run the mkvg or extendvg commands. Users in system group should be able to run these commands even without explicitly having the relevant RBAC roles. -> id uid=12(bf40004) gid=0(system) groups=1(staff) -> extendvg vg00 hdisk2 0516-1391 extendvg: To use this command, you must either have root user authority or be a member of the system group.
Local fix
Problem summary
mkvg or extendvg will fail with error as above for non-root users in system group if they do not have the appropriate RBAC roles. This is only an issue with enhanced RBAC on (this is default).
Problem conclusion
Modify privcmds info for mkvg and extendvg to properly allow anyone in system group to execute them in addition to anyone with RBAC roles.
Temporary fix
