Can a Unix enabled AD user stop and start the vasd service
In order to stop, start or restart the vasd service a user must have root access or the appropriate sudo privileges.
If the vasd service is running then a Unix enabled AD user can stop or restart vasd as long as they have the correct privileges
# systemctl stop vasd.service
# systemctl restart vasd.service
However, a Unix enabled AD user cannot start the vasd service once the service is stopped because they can no longer be authenticated if vasd isn't running.
Therefore starting a stopped service can only be done by a local user with the appropriate sudo privileges.
# systemctl start vasd.service
