Required permissions for data collector configuration for WAS
The question: How can I create a non-administrator WAS user ID?
The answer: WAS has four administration roles: Monitor, Configurator, Operator and Administrator (with the privileges from least to most). The best way is to configure a user id as a WAS operator, because in this way a new V6.1 feature (dynamic PMI change) works fine. The Monitor role may be the second place, for the new feature (dynamic PMI change) does not work with Monitor and Configurator roles, even that data collector's data collection in PMI and JMX areas are fine.
The user ID is configured in DC_home/runtime/platform.node.server/platform.node.server.datacollector.properties, and can belong to one of the four roles - Monitor, Configurator, Operator, Administrator. The following is the comparison on the four roles.
