About VMware vSphere privileges

This chapter covers the privileges that NetBackup requires to work with the VMware vSphere and vCenter. These VMware vSphere privileges are granted from the VMware vSphere Web UI. They are granted to a role, and you need to use the credential of a user with that role in NetBackup when you add a VMware server. This credential is referred as "server credential" in the NetBackup documentation.
