Recovery Manager Roles Reference
Site
Recovery Manager
Roles ReferenceSite
Recovery Manager
includes a set of roles. Each role includes a
set of privileges, which allow users with those roles to complete different
actions.
Roles can have overlapping sets of privileges
and actions. For example, the
Site
Recovery Manager
Administrator role and the Site
Recovery Manager
Protection Groups Administrator have the Create
privilege for
protection groups. With this privilege, the user can complete one aspect of the set
of tasks that make up the management of protection groups. Assign roles to users on
Site
Recovery Manager
objects consistently on both sites, so that
protected and recovery objects have identical permissions. All users must have at least the
privilege on the root folders of vCenter Server
and the Site
Recovery Manager
root nodes on both sites. If you uninstall
Site
Recovery Manager Server
, Site
Recovery Manager
removes the default Site
Recovery Manager
roles but the Site
Recovery Manager
privileges remain. You can still see and assign
Site
Recovery Manager
privileges on other roles after uninstalling Site
Recovery Manager
. This is standard vCenter Server
behavior. Privileges are not removed when you unregister an extension from
vCenter Server
. Role | Actions that this Role Permits | Privileges that this Role Includes | Objects in vCenter Server Inventory that this Role Can Access
