Dell Virtual Storage Integrator (VSI) for VMware vSphere Client Version 10.0 Product Guide

Add Access

Use the procedure in this topic to add users/groups and grant them access to storage.

A vCenter user who registers a storage system, becomes the owner and controls access to the storage system and its storage.
vCenter users who have privileges to create datastores can create datastores on the storage systems they have been granted access to.
A vCenter user can view storage system details that are associated with a datastore without being granted access.
The user group must contain members of the same domain as group.
The user must be a immediate member of the group given access to.

Click Menu > Dell VSI.
