Provide access to a credential for agentless single file recovery to a guest VM
A VMware administrator that wants to perform an agentless single file recovery to a guest VM may not have access to a guest VM's credentials. You can give a user access to a credential through an RBAC role. Either of the following methods allows the user to perform a recovery with a stored credential so they don't need to know the actual username and password for the VM.
See Add a credential for a VMware guest VM.
Note:
This credential type is not for VMware servers. Configure those credentials on the VMware servers tab in .
You can give a user access to a credential in the following ways.
Add a user to the Default VMware Administrator role. This RBAC role allows users to view all credentials and use any credential for recovery.
Create a custom role that has access to a limited number of credentials. Then add users to that role.
See Create a custom role for agentless single file recovery to a guest VM, with a credential.
