Standard roles packaged with the virtual appliance for VSC, VASA Provider, and SRA
To simplify working with vCenter Server privileges and role-based access control (RBAC), Virtual Storage Console (VSC) provides standard VSC roles that enable you to perform key VSC tasks. There is also a read-only role that enables you to view VSC information, but not perform any tasks.
The standard VSC roles have both the required VSC-specific privileges and the native vCenter Server privileges that are required for users to perform VSC tasks. In addition, the roles are set up so that they have the required privileges across all supported versions of the vCenter Server.
As an administrator, you can assign these roles to users, as required.
You can view the VSC standard roles by clicking Roles on the vSphere ClientHome page.
