One user asked if Python will be added to the windows script list on ControlUp. Another user suggested using Powershell to call the Python script. A third user mentioned using Invoke-Webrequest or copying the script itself in the script window for file transfer. Another user suggested using a PS1 script that encapsulates the python script and checking if python is installed, and installing it if necessary. They also mentioned hurdles with file transfer and suggested a feature request for blob storage. Overall, Python support on ControlUp is not currently on the roadmap.

It was clarified that the only way to limit the service account is to do it at the cluster level, granting them the "NO ACCESS" role on the clusters not to be managed. The user was advised to reach out to their ControlUp sales team for further assistance on this matter.
