vApp User
The rights associated with the vApp User role allow a user to use existing
vApps.
Console Access Only
The rights associated with the Console Access Only role allow a user to view
virtual machine state and properties and to use the guest OS.
Each predefined role includes a set of default rights. If an organization administrator modifies the set of
rights associated with a predefined role, those modifications apply only in the context of that organization.
If a system administrator modifies the set of rights associated with a predefined role, those modifications
apply to all organizations in the system.
You classify rights according to the objects to which they apply.
Rights Associated with Catalogs
Admin rights are granted to the system administrator throughout the system, and to an organization
administrator within the organization.
