For all vCenter operations, OMIVV uses the privileges of a registered user and not the privileges of a logged-in user.

For example: User X with the necessary privileges registers OMIVV with vCenter, and user Y has only Dell privileges. User Y can now log in

to the vCenter and can trigger a firmware update task from OMIVV. While performing the firmware update task, OMIVV uses the

privileges of user X to put the machine into maintenance mode or reboot the host.
