VDR required permissions

Does anyone know the exact necessary permissions for VDR to run backup and restore? I can't find any documentation on this.

Currently with the test and retry technique i have managed to run VDR with the following permissions:

Datastore:

-> Allocate space

-> Browse datastore

-> Low level file operations

Global:

-> Licenses

-> System Tag

Host -> Local Operations:

-> Create Virtual Machine

-> Reconfigure Virtual Machine

Network:

-> Assign Network

Resource:

-> Assign virtual machine to resource pool

Virtual Machine:

Configuration -> All ?:|

Inventory -> Create from existing, Create new, Register

Provisioning -> All ?:|

State -> Create snapshot, Remove snapshot

already seen that KB, using only those permissions resulted in permission errors

Hi,

Thanks for the infos. Did you have success in tweaking more those permissions ?

For me your settings works except vdr can't read datacenter name anymore... :

In Restore tab, my datacenter name is greyed out, and I have a new "Datacenters" below it.

Thanks
