Configure Access Rights for a User Group
To enable users to perform certain actions in vCenter Operations Manager, you must assign access rights to
each user group. You define which menus users within a user group can access and the actions that the
users can perform.
Prerequisites
Add user groups to vCenter Operations Manager. See “Add a User Group,” on page 73.
Procedure
1 Select Admin > Security.
2 On the Access Rights tab, select the user group under Account Groups.
3 In the Access Rights pane on the right, select the check box for each menu and menu option that group
members can access.
The Access Rights pane contains an expandable list of access rights for actions that you can perform in
the vCenter Operations Manager menus. The Administrative Access right provides access to the Admin
menu. If the check box for an access right is deselected, group members cannot perform the associated
action.
4 Click the Save Changes icon to save the access rights for the user group.
What to do next
Add users to the user group. See “Assign a User to a User Group,” on page 74.
Assign a User to a User Group
You can assign any number of users to a user group, and each user can belong to any number of groups.
You can create administrators in addition to the default admin user by assigning users to the Administrators
group.
NOTE Only by the admin user can perform some vCenter Operations Manager features, such as querying
the vCenter Operations Manager database.
Prerequisites
n
Become familiar with the predefined user groups. See “Predefined User Groups,” on page 73.
n
If the predefined user groups do not meet your needs, create new user groups. See “Add a User
Group,” on page 73.
Procedure
1 Select Admin > Security.
2 On the User Management tab, select a user in the User Accounts pane.
You can press Ctrl+click to select multiple individual users or Shift+click to select a range of users.
3 Drag the user to the Account Groups pane and drop it into the user group.
