The Block-ClusterAccess cmdlet prevents the specified user or users from accessing a failover
cluster. If you don't want to completely block access and instead want to limit a user to using
Windows PowerShell to view cluster settings (not change settings), then use the
Grant-ClusterAccess cmdlet with the Readonly parameter.
Examples
Example 1
Block-ClusterAccess -User contoso\johnj99
This example prevents the user named johnj99 on the contoso ___domain from gaining access to the local
cluster.
Parameters
-Cluster
