Assigning the vCenter role
Insight Control for vCenter uses role-based security access. Windows or domain users/groups can
be assigned any of the vCenter roles. Insight Control for vCenter classifies these roles into three
categories:
• Administrator—the vCenter administrator role maps to this category
• Read-only—The vCenter read-only and view-only roles map to this category
• User—All other vCenter roles map to this category
For more information about security access, see the HP Insight Control for vCenter Server User
Guide or online help.
