About extension filtered by privileges

[selinacui]

Hi All,


In web client programming guide, it mentioned extension can be filtered by privilege, like this,

<extension id="vsphere.core.hosts.sampleMonitorView">

  <extendedPoint>vsphere.core.hosts.monitorViews</extendedPoint>

    <object>

       <name>Sample Monitor View Title</name>

       <componentClass className=”com.vmware.vsphere.client.sampleplugin.SampleObjectView”/>

    </object>

  <metadata>

    &lt;privilege&gt;Global.Licenses&lt;/privilege&gt;

  </metadata>

</extension>

But I don't want to use any system defined privilege. Can I create my own privilege and how to do that?

Thanks,

Selina

This filtering works with any privilege defined in vCenter.  Please refer to the vSphere 5.5 doc for more info on privileges: vSphere 5.5 Documentation Center
