The following set of privileges define the operations that you can perform on the system. You can create roles and then assign privileges to them or assign privileges to the existing roles that are available in the vSphere environment. Application monitoring operations are enabled or disabled depending on the privileges that are assigned to the vCenter user account. For example, the Admin privilege is required for configuring application monitoring on a system.
vCenter Server administrators can use these privileges to configure access control while monitoring an application.
