The admin view of resources such as Organization, VDC, and vApp provides extra information that is useful to users with administrative privileges. For example, in the case of a vApp, admin view provides information about vCenter and the virtual machines that belong to the vApp. The admin view provides information such as Managed Object References that vCenter uses for those entities. See Associating vCloud Resources with vSphere Entities for more information about getting vCenter Managed Object References.

To access admin views, you use a method of the client connection object to create an admin client proxy. The admin proxy has methods similar to those of the client connection object to get references to Organizations and other vCloud objects. However, the objects you get from the admin proxy have additional properties not present in user objects.
