Hello,
VSC 4.2
vSphere 5.0
I'm new user of VSC. I like this tool as it provides NetApp storage management integrated with vCenter.
I'm facing a problem regarding security.
I've been searching several hours to delegate backup/restore operations without granting administrative permissions on vSphere hosts.
VSC 4.2 provides built-in roles "VSC Backup" and "VSC Restore"
Assigning these roles to backup operators on the vCenter root grants Backup & Restore operations on the overall vCenter perimeter.
Backup / Restore operations are working fine
However, the "VSC Restore" role allows backup operators to modify hosts configuration ... we do not want to grant them such permissions.
Then I tried to remove all host/configuration permissions in the "VSC Restore" role ==> restore task starts and suspends working at 57% without any error.
This means that, as logically expected, the permissions on host are mandatory.
Therefore, I need help and/or advise from expert that knows VSC better than me.
How to delegate in VSC the backup/restore operations to backup operators with their access to vCenter infrastructure limited only to backup / restore operation ?
Is it possible ? or do I have to give up ?
Many thanks for your help
Alain
