Description Colin Arnott 2016-09-08 12:24:51 UTC
Document URL: 
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en/red-hat-cloudforms/4.1/managing-providers/#adding_a_microsoft_system_center_virtual_machine_manager_provider

Section Number and Name: 
1.5.2. Adding a Microsoft System Center Virtual Machine Manager Provider: 

Describe the issue: 
The SCVMM provider currently provides no requirements for privilege level on the authenticating user, my security standards prevent me from giving cart blanch access to my SCVMM environment. Can you please enumerate the permissions required by CFME so that I can use least privilege when creating the CFME user for my SCVMM environment. 

Suggestions for improvement: 
Add a section indicating required permissions for the SCVMM provider.

Additional information:

Comment 2 Greg Blomquist 2016-09-21 19:50:43 UTC
The SCVMM provider has been deprioritized from CloudForms Product Management.

If this comes up as a customer issue we can dig into that deeper.  But, for now I'm just closing this wontfix.
