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.
To enable a non-administrator user with the required privileges to register a vCenter server, perform the following steps:
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.
To select all the required privileges for the role, see the Required privileges for non-administrator users.
NOTE: The vCenter administrator should add or modify a role.
2. Assign a user to the newly created role after you define a role and select privileges for the role.
See VMware vSphere documentation for more information on assigning permissions in the vSphere web client.
NOTE: The vCenter administrator should assign permissions in the vSphere client.
A vCenter server non-administrator user with the required privileges can now register and/or unregister vCenter, modify credentials,
or update the certificate.
3. Register a vCenter server by using a non-administrator user with the required privileges. See Registering a vCenter server by a non-
administrator user with the required privileges.
4. Assign the Dell privileges to the role created or modified in step 1. See Assigning Dell privileges to the role in vSphere web client.
A non-administrator user with the required privileges can now use the OMIVV features with the Dell EMC hosts.
