Required VMware Virtual Center Privileges
This section lists the minimum privileges required for the GigaVUE‑FM user in Virtual Center. You assign privileges to Virtual Center users by selecting Roles > Administration > Role, and then use the Edit Role dialog box in vCenter. Roles should be applied at the vSphere Virtual Center level and not the Data Center or Host levels.
The following table lists the minimum required permissions for GigaVUE‑FM to manage the virtual center user with roles specified above.
