    <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Hi all,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Have been testing App Volumes for several weeks &amp;amp; am now preparing/documenting the Production installation.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I notice in the GUI there is a 'Mount On Host' option for the App Volumes Manager to connect directly to an ESX host for mount operations, rather than doing so through vCenter.&amp;nbsp; There's not a lot of info about this option though, other than it requires a local ESX account.&amp;nbsp; By default this feature won't work for us, as the root account passwords for all our Hosts are different.&amp;nbsp; I would be happy to create a local account on each Host - only though if I can tie it down to the minimum required permissions.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Does anyone happen to know what the minimum permissions are that would be required on each Host for the 'Mount On Host' option to work?&amp;nbsp; This would save me a lot of trial &amp;amp; error to find out!&amp;nbsp; I know that required permissions are given in the GUI (which we've already implemented) but these are for the AppV service account against vCenter &amp;amp; not, seemingly, for the Mount On Host setting.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Many thanks&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Here are the perms required for vCenter to do everything. Some of the wording is a little off as this is for 5.1 and I think some names have changed from 5.1- 5.5. Also for obvious reasons the password need to match across hosts. Just making sure that was clear.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt;"&gt;System.Anonymous&lt;BR /&gt; System.View&lt;BR /&gt; System.Read&lt;BR /&gt; Global.CancelTask&lt;BR /&gt; Folder.Create&lt;BR /&gt; Folder.Delete&lt;BR /&gt; Datastore.Browse&lt;BR /&gt; Datastore.DeleteFile&lt;BR /&gt; Datastore.FileManagement&lt;BR /&gt; Datastore.AllocateSpace&lt;BR /&gt; Datastore.UpdateVirtualMachineFiles&lt;BR /&gt; Host.Local.CreateVM&lt;BR /&gt; Host.Local.ReconfigVM&lt;BR /&gt; Host.Local.DeleteVM&lt;BR /&gt; VirtualMachine.Inventory.Create&lt;BR /&gt; VirtualMachine.Inventory.CreateFromExisting&lt;BR /&gt; VirtualMachine.Inventory.Register&lt;BR /&gt; VirtualMachine.Inventory.Delete&lt;BR /&gt; VirtualMachine.Inventory.Unregister&lt;BR /&gt; VirtualMachine.Inventory.Move&lt;BR /&gt; VirtualMachine.Interact.PowerOn&lt;BR /&gt; VirtualMachine.Interact.PowerOff&lt;BR /&gt; VirtualMachine.Interact.Suspend&lt;BR /&gt; VirtualMachine.Config.AddExistingDisk&lt;BR /&gt; VirtualMachine.Config.AddNewDisk&lt;BR /&gt; VirtualMachine.Config.RemoveDisk&lt;BR /&gt; VirtualMachine.Config.AddRemoveDevice&lt;BR /&gt; VirtualMachine.Config.Settings&lt;BR /&gt; VirtualMachine.Config.Resource&lt;BR /&gt; VirtualMachine.Provisioning.Customize&lt;BR /&gt; VirtualMachine.Provisioning.Clone&lt;BR /&gt; VirtualMachine.Provisioning.PromoteDisks&lt;BR /&gt; VirtualMachine.Provisioning.CreateTemplateFromVM&lt;BR /&gt; VirtualMachine.Provisioning.DeployTemplate&lt;BR /&gt; VirtualMachine.Provisioning.CloneTemplate&lt;BR /&gt; VirtualMachine.Provisioning.MarkAsTemplate&lt;BR /&gt; VirtualMachine.Provisioning.MarkAsVM&lt;BR /&gt; VirtualMachine.Provisioning.ReadCustSpecs&lt;BR /&gt; VirtualMachine.Provisioning.ModifyCustSpecs&lt;BR /&gt; Resource.AssignVMToPool&lt;BR /&gt; Task.Create&lt;BR /&gt; Sessions.TerminateSession&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>
