Users Guide

2. After you define a role and select privileges for the role, assign a user to the newly created role. See VMware vSphere
documentation for more information on assigning 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.
NOTE: The vCenter administrator should assign permissions in the vSphere client.
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 on page 63.
4. Assign the Dell privileges to the role created or modified in step 1. See Assigning Dell privileges to the role on page 63.
Now, a non-administrator user with the required privileges can use the OMIVV features with Dell hosts.
