Does anyone know what are the minimum permissions required for the user in vCenter to be used when adding vCenter to Unity?

    This worked in 6.7, haven't tried it in 7.0 yet.

    Knowledge Base Article: 000336138
    Unity: Minimum permissions needed by a vCenter user to use VMware integration from Unisphere

    1. Under roles on vCenter 6.0 and below, create a new role 'unisphererole' and choose the following 2 privileges:
    i) Datastore (including all subpermissions)
    ii) Host>configuration>storage partition configuration

    2. A user 'unisphereuser' has to be then created on vCenter with the role 'unisphererole'.
    3. Add vCenter to VNXe's Unisphere using the user account 'unisphereuser'.
    4. The VMware integration should work as expected.
    For vCenter 6.5 an additional privilege is required
    The privilege is called “Storage Views > View”
