Tasks Privileges

Tasks privileges control the ability of extensions to create and update tasks on the vCenter Server.

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.
