Creating a VMware role to grant MTV privileges

You can create a role in VMware to grant privileges for {project-first} and then grant those privileges to users with that role.

The procedure that follows explains how to do this in general. For detailed instructions, see VMware documentation.

Procedure

1. In the vCenter Server UI, create a role that includes the set of privileges described in the table in VMware prerequisites.

2. In the vSphere inventory UI, grant privileges for users with this role to the appropriate vSphere logical objects at one of the following levels:

   1. At the user or group level: Assign privileges to the appropriate logical objects in the data center and use the Propagate to child objects option.

   2. At the object level: Apply the same role individually to all the relevant vSphere logical objects involved in the migration, for example, hosts, vSphere clusters, data centers, or networks.
