About View Hiding

CloudControl enables you to restrict users from viewing vSphere resources if they do not have explicit view privileges. Resources can be hidden whether you use the vSphere HTML5 Client or the WCS client.

You can enable view Hiding at the vCenter level. Once enabled, the <resource_type>.View_All_Children operation is used to show if a resource can be viewed. When enabled for a role, you can use that role in an access control trust manifest to restrict what resources can be viewed, or use resource tags to limit what part of the same resource can be viewed.

View hiding is disabled by default as it can take longer for the responses to be filtered.
