Creating a VMware Read-Only user

Permissions can be granted to an existing local account or domain/AD user. The following VMware user-creation steps are required only if you do not want to grant permissions to an existing user. Refer to the information specific to Virtualization Manager data collection for a detailed procedure for the following steps.

  1. In VMware, clone a read-only role and create a Virtualization Manager Group role.

  2. Add the Browse Datastore permission and add it to the root-level folder.

  3. Create a User and assign it to the Virtualization Manager Group.
