Configuring User Accounts for vCenter Server

To use vCenter Server with Horizon 8 in self-managed vCenter environments, you must configure a user account with appropriate vCenter Server privileges. You can create a vCenter Server role with the appropriate privileges and assign that role to the vCenter Server user account. The list of privileges to be added to the vCenter Server role depends on whether you use Horizon 8 with or without instant clones. You specify a vCenter Server user when you add vCenter Server to Horizon 8.
