non-administrative account on page 19.

vSphere Lifecycle Manager check box allows you to use vSphere Lifecycle Manager feature from vCenter 7.0 and
later.
You can modify (register or unregister) the vSphere Lifecycle Manager status after the vCenter registration is complete.

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.
Install and configure OMIVV
