An administrator implemented SYMACLs on a PowerMax using host-based Access IDs.

If an administrator implemented SYMACLs on a PowerMax using host-based Access IDs and is no longer able to run SYMCLI commands against the volumes belonging to a host, one possible reason could be that the SYMAPI options file was manually modified with the wrong host ID. The SYMAPI options file contains configuration settings for Solutions Enabler, including host IDs for access control. If this file is incorrectly modified, it could prevent the administrator from running SYMCLI commands against certain volumes34. References: Dell EMC PowerMax and VMAX All Flash: Embedded Management, Role Based Access Control on PowerMax – Storage Intelligence
