Below are the steps for creating the users in the data center
Why this matters: Mavvrik only needs read-only visibility into your vCenter environment to report on cost and utilization — it never needs to modify anything there. Creating a dedicated read-only user (rather than reusing an admin account) keeps that boundary explicit and makes it easy to see exactly what access Mavvrik has, and to revoke it cleanly if needed.
Before you start: you'll need Administration access in vCenter to create users and assign permissions.
-
Login to vCenter and navigate to Administration Tab under the Menu section
-
Under Left side nav bar > Single Sign On > Users and Groups. Then:
-
In Users and groups select your domain eg: vsphere.local
-
Click on Add User> Enter all the required details
-
Then Navigate to Host and Clusters under the Menu section. Then:
-
Then Select your Datacenter and select the Permissions tab.
-
then click on the + symbol
-
then add permission, select your user and select role as Read-only and check the box for Propagate to children.
