Which two roles can be modified? (Choose two.)
A. Administrator
B. Network Administrator
C. Datastore Consumer
D. Read-Only
Correct Answer: BC
Explanation/Reference:
Three of the pre-established roles are permanent, meaning that the privileges associated with that role cannot be modified. These permanent roles are available to a stand-alone ESX or ESXi server, or to vCenter Server. The remaining eight are sample roles which can be modified as needed. These eight roles are exclusive to vCenter Server.
Below are the pre-established roles:
No Access: A permanent role that is assigned to new users and groups. Prevents a user or group from viewing or making changes to an object
Read-Only: A permanent role that allows users to check the state of an object or view its details, but not make changes to it
Administrator: A permanent role that enables a user complete access to all of the objects on the server. The root user is assigned this role by default, as are all of the users who are part of the local Windows Administrators group associated with vCenter Server. At least one user must have administrative permissions in VMware.
Virtual Machine Administrator: A sample role that allows a user complete and total control of a virtual machine or a host, up to and including removing that VM or host
Virtual Machine Power User: A sample role that grants a user access rights only to virtual machines; can alter the virtual hardware or create snapshots of the VM
Virtual Machine User: Grants user access rights exclusively to VMs. The user can power on, power off, and reset the virtual machine, as well as run media from the virtual discs.
Resource Pool Administrator: Allows the user to create resource pools (RAM and CPU reserved for use) and assign these pools to virtual machines
Datacenter Administrator: Permits a user to add new datacenter objects
VMware Consolidated Backup User: Required to allow VMware Consolidated Backup to run
Datastore Consumer: Allows the user to consume space on a datastore
Network Consumer: Allows the user to assign a network to a virtual machine or a host
