To access the Plug-in for VMware vSphere GUI on vCenter, you must have the product-level, SnapCenter-specific View privilege assigned at the correct vSphere object level. If you log in without this privilege, the Plug-in for VMware vSphere displays an error message when you click the NetApp icon and prevents you from accessing the Plug-in for VMware vSphere GUI.
The following information describes the Plug-in for VMware vSphere product-level View privilege:
| Privilege | Description | Assignment level |
|---|---|---|
| View | You can access the Plug-in for VMware vSphere GUI. This privilege does not enable you to perform tasks within SnapCenter. To perform any Plug-in for VMware vSphere tasks, you must have the correct SCV-specific and native vCenter Server privileges for those tasks. |
The assignment level determines which portions of the UI you can see. Assigning the View privilege at the root object (folder) enables you to enter the Plug-in for VMware vSphere by clicking the NetApp icon. You can assign the View privilege to another vSphere object level; however, doing that limits the the Plug-in for VMware vSphere menus that you can see and use. Best practice: The root object is the recommended place to assign any permission containing the View privilege. |
