Assigning Dell privileges to existing role

About this task

You can edit an existing role to assign the Dell privileges.
NOTE: Ensure that you are logged in as a user with administrator privileges.

Steps

  1. Log in to the vSphere web client with administrative rights.
  2. Browse to Administration → Roles in the vSphere web client.
  3. Select a vCenter server system from the Roles provider drop-down list.
  4. Select the role from the Roles list, and click the Edit role action icon.
  5. Select the following Dell privileges for the selected role and click OK:
    • Dell.Configuration
    • Dell.Deploy-Provisioning
    • Dell.Inventory
    • Dell.Monitoring
    • Dell.Reporting

    See Security roles and permissions for more information about the available OMIVV roles within vCenter.

Results

The changes to permissions and roles take effect immediately. The user with necessary privileges can now perform the OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter operations.
NOTE: For all vCenter operations, OMIVV uses the privileges of the registered user and not the privileges of the logged-in user.
NOTE: If specific pages of OMIVV are accessed with no Dell privileges assigned to the logged-in user, the 2000000 error is displayed.
