Role Base Access?

[dvnguyen]

From my understanding and usage of vCOM, it appears that there appears to be only a single user that has access to vCOM.  Is there a way to add more users?  What if I wanted to create a role base type of system where only some users are allowed to see all managed vCenters?  Is that possible?

vC Ops uses the roles and permissions you have set up in vCenter.  You should be able to log in with your vCenter credentials.

In addition to what has already been said about using the pemission sets in vCenter, you can create your custom dashboards and share them out...create groups inside vC Ops and allow them to access the shared dashboards. These can be local accounts or AD integrated accounts that can be added. There are several ways to approach the "role based access" question, but if you create the roles and persmissions in vCenter completely you should only have to do it once.
