Configure a vCenter Server User for Omnissa Horizon Cloud

To configure a user account that allows Horizon Cloud to perform operations in vCenter Server, you must assign a vCenter Server role with appropriate privileges to that user.

Procedure

1. In vCenter Server, prepare a role with the required privileges for the user.

   • You can use the predefined Administrator role in vCenter Server. This role can perform all operations in vCenter Server including instant-clone operations.

   • If you want to use a more limited role than the predefined Administrator role in vCenter Server and you do not plan to use instant clones, you can create a role with the minimum privileges needed by Horizon Connection Server to perform vCenter Server operations. In vSphere Client, click Home > Roles > Add Role, enter a role name such as Horizon Cloud Administrator, and select privileges for the role.

     See Privileges Required for the vCenter Server User With Instant Clones.

2. In vSphere Client, right-click the vCenter Server at the top level of the inventory, click Add Permission, and add the vCenter Server user.

   Note: You must define the vCenter Server user at the vCenter Server level.

3. From the drop-down menu, select the Administrator role, or the custom Horizon Cloud Administrator role that you created, and assign it to the vCenter Server user.
