Creating an Account for vCenter Server

You can use one of the following accounts to connect to vCenter from Omnissa Horizon Console.

  • Microsoft Active Directory user account
  • vCenter Single Sign-On domain account

You must give the user account privileges to perform certain operations in vCenter Server. You can create a vCenter Server role with the appropriate privileges and assign the role to the vCenter Server user. The list of privileges you add to the vCenter Server role depends on whether you use Omnissa Horizon 8 instant clones. See Privileges Required for the vCenter Server User Without Instant Clones or Privileges Required for the vCenter Server User With Instant Clones.
