So you are limited to what A can do.

As for "W:*"
That is an error - bitmain got it wrong and have never fixed it for almost 3 years - it is ignored.

You are in the A group so it never gets to the W group.

Can someone explain to me what I need to do to enable privileged mode? I understand that in privileged mode I can access "privileged" commands via the API. I have changed my "api-allow" to "A:0/0,W:* but when I send the privileged command to check if it's enabled I get STATUS 'E' which indicates that's it's not privileged. What is going on?
Don't you have to add the switchpool command in the api-groups?
e.g.:
"api-groups" : "A:stats:pools:devs:summary:version:switchpool,P:switchpool",
e.g.:
"api-groups" : "A:stats:pools:devs:summary:version:switchpool,P:switchpool",
Thanks for those references. I understand that W:0/0 is not recommended but at this point I just need to get something to work. I am familiar with Awesome Miner but I want to build my own software and I plan on open sourcing it. In any case, I did exactly what was recommended in the last resource you pointed me to and I still get denied access to the switchpool command. Very frustrating. Any other ideas? Again I am accessing the network where the miner resides through a VPN. My software so far works perfectly with this setup. It's just the switchpool command that is giving me issues. Here is my bmminer.conf:
Code:
{
"bitmain-freq": "550",
"multi-version": "1",
"bitmain-use-vil": true,
"api-groups": "A:stats:pools:devs:summary:version:noncenum",
"pools": [{...}],
"api-listen": true,
"api-allow": "W:0/0, W:*",
"api-network": true
}
"bitmain-freq": "550",
"multi-version": "1",
"bitmain-use-vil": true,
"api-groups": "A:stats:pools:devs:summary:version:noncenum",
"pools": [{...}],
"api-listen": true,
"api-allow": "W:0/0, W:*",
"api-network": true
}
It's not recommended to use W:0/0 settings because you're enabled access online and it can scan through the internet.

Also, there is someone studying this code so I'd like to add it here to get some better idea about this from here https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/cgminer-api-antminer-z9-mini-remotecontrol-questions-4564890
Have you heard about Awesomeminer? Why not use this software instead to configure your API access and enable some API privileges? It is much safer than manually editing the bmminer.conf for API access.

I am trying to switch the pool on a machine that I am connecting to through a VPN. I ssh'd in and edited my bmminer.conf file as follows and rebooted:
I understand that W:0/0 will allow any machine with network access privileged commands. That's okay for now. I've read that R:0/0 might be safer. In any case, I just want to get it to work so that I can write a script to set privileged access to all of my machines. Any help would be appreciated.
Code:
{
"bitmain-freq": "550",
"multi-version": "1",
"bitmain-use-vil": true,
"api-groups": "A:stats:pools:devs:summary:version:noncenum",
"pools": [{"url": "antpool.com:3333", "user": ... }],
"api-listen": true,
"api-allow": "A:0/0,W:0/0",
"api-network": true
