Content Libraries provide simple and effective management for virtual machine templates and vApps. Content library privileges control who can view or manage different aspects of content libraries.
You can set this privilege at different levels in the hierarchy. For example, if you set a privilege at the folder level, you can propagate the privilege to one or more objects within the folder. The object listed in the Required On column must have the privilege set, either directly or inherited.
