> Steps:
> Procedure to create custom role in vCenter for CloudPlatform is described
> below:
> Requirement
> Elaborate minimal permissions required for a user account to be used by
> CloudPlatform.
> Back ground
> To manage VMware deployments, CloudPlatform need permissions for the role to
> manage infrastructure resources as the minimal i.e,
> Manage cluster/host
> Manage datastore/disks/files
> Manage port groups
> Manage dvPort groups
> Manage templates
> Import appliance
> Export a template
> Manage VM
> Manage snapshot of VM
> Manage custom field
> Solution
> Hence the idea is to create a role with above required minimal permissions
> and assign this custom role to the user designated to be used by
> CloudPlatform.
> For more robust implementation of this, the permissions could be divided into
> 2 roles where as each role (mapped with a user) is added to relevant object
> in vCenter infrastructure.
> Global role
> This is for custom attribute management - User with this role would
> be added to vCenter object WITHOUT propagation to child objects.
> Datacenter role
> This is for datacenter management - User with this role would be
> added to each of Datacenter object, WITH propagation to child objects, to be
> managed by this user.

> Detailed list of granualar permissions to be added to the global role to be
> used for CloudPlatform is below.
