NetApp Element Plug-In for vCenter Server (VCP)

Answer

Access to the objects within vCenter is controlled by the vSphere Roles and Permissions assigned to the user.

If the user has access to the Element plug-in within vCenter , then the user can manage the storage cluster using the plug-in.

Additional Information

Element plug-in for vCenter server doesn’t have a role based access control that we can set. All the tasks inside the plug-in are performed using the credential ( which is usually the cluster admin credential) specified during the deployment. We can see this from the API calls.
