Restricting Visibility

CloudControl enables you to restrict users from viewing objects if they do not have explicit view privileges. Restricting visibility privileges is supported only on the following: 

• vSphere WCS versions 6.0, 6.5 and 6.7
• vSphere HTML5 Client versions 6.5 and 6.7

By default, NSX and vSphere users can only view the following: 

• NSX users can only view networking and security objects related to NSX. In the following figure, the items marked NSX View are visible to NSX users. The top-level vSphere objects marked vSphere View are visible, but all items under those objects will be hidden.

• vSphere users can only view vSphere objects. In the following figure, the items marked vSphere View are visible to vSphere users. The items marked NSX View will be hidden. You can also restrict vSphere users so that they can only view particular vSphere objects. For more information, see Visibility Privileges for NSX and vSphere Objects .
