From: Keith Busch <kbusch@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 23e085b2dead13b51fe86d27069895b740f749c0 upstream. The passthrough commands already have this restriction, but the other operations do not. Require the same capabilities for all users as all of these operations, which include resets and rescans, can be disruptive.
