Privilege Requirements for
HTTP Access
HTTP access to a
vSphere file is access to a datastore object that is associated with the folder
structure in the vSphere inventory. HTTP access requires the same privileges
needed to obtain these files using any other mechanism, such as the vSphere
Client.
The following table shows the required
privileges.
