VCTR-67-000051 - The vCenter Server users must have the correct roles assigned.

Information

Users and service accounts must only be assigned privileges they require. Least privilege requires that these privileges must only be assigned if needed to reduce risk of confidentiality, availability, or integrity loss.

NOTE: Nessus has not performed this check. Please review the benchmark to ensure target compliance.

Solution

To create a new role with specific permissions:

From the vSphere Client, go to Administration >> Access Control >> Roles.

Click the plus sign, enter a name for the role, and select only the specific permissions required.

Users can then be assigned to the newly created role.
