Registering vCenter server by non-administrator user

You can register vCenter servers for the OMIVV appliance with vCenter administrator credentials or a non-administrator user with the

necessary privileges.

1. To change the privileges selected for a role, add the role and select the required privileges for the role or modify an existing role.

See VMware vSphere documentation for the steps required to create or modify a role and select privileges in the vSphere web client.

A vCenter server non-administrator user with the required privileges can now register and/or unregister vCenter, modify credentials,

or update the certificate.
