Hi,

Thanks for the reply, but.

Nothing in does documents says what privileges vCenter uses should have. 
Does anyone else have an answer?

Hello,

Basically you should be an Administrator or Observer to connect to the vCenter.

According to the HPE OneView for VMware vCenter User Guide, the minimum privileges required for the vCenter user account used by OneView are as follows:

1. Datastore.AllocateSpace
2. Datastore.Browse
3. Datastore.FileManagement
4. Datastore.LowLevelFileOperations
5. Host.Config.Network
6. Host.Config.Storage
7. Host.Inventory.Create
8. Host.Inventory.Delete
9. Host.Inventory.Edit
10. Host.Inventory.Inventory
11. Resource.AssignVMToPool
12. VirtualMachine.Config.AddNewDisk
13. VirtualMachine.Config.AddRemoveDevice
14. VirtualMachine.Config.AdvancedConfig
15. VirtualMachine.Config.Annotation
16. VirtualMachine.Config.CPUCount
17. VirtualMachine.Config.EditDevice
18. VirtualMachine.Config.Memory
19. VirtualMachine.Config.Resource
20. VirtualMachine.Interact.ConsoleInteract
21. VirtualMachine.Interact.DeviceConnection
22. VirtualMachine.Interact.PowerOff
23. VirtualMachine.Interact.PowerOn
24. VirtualMachine.Interact.Reset
25. VirtualMachine.Interact.Suspend
26. VirtualMachine.Inventory.Create
27. VirtualMachine.Inventory.Delete
28. VirtualMachine.Inventory.Edit
29. VirtualMachine.Inventory.Register
30. VirtualMachine.Provisioning.Clone

You can assign these privileges to a custom role or use the built-in Virtual Machine User role in vCenter. However, keep in mind that the specific permissions required may vary depending on your environment and use case.

I hope this helps! Please do let me know if this helps......
