Which privilege must be assigned to a user so they can manage snapshots for virtual machines?

  1. Datastore.Allocate Space

  2. Virtual machine.Configuration.create snapshot

  3. Virtual machine.Configuration.manage snapshot

  4. Datastore.Browse Datastore

The correct answer is: Virtual machine.Configuration.manage snapshot

To manage snapshots for virtual machines, the specific privilege required is the ability to manage snapshots, which is encapsulated in the privilege of "Virtual machine.Configuration.manage snapshot". This privilege enables users to create, remove, and revert to snapshots for virtual machines. Snapshots are a critical part of virtual machine management, allowing for backup and recovery points that can be leveraged during updates or troubleshooting. Therefore, for a user to effectively manage snapshots, it is essential they have this specific set of permissions assigned to their role. This privilege ensures that users not only have the capability to take snapshots but also to manage them appropriately, including the deletion of unnecessary snapshots to help maintain performance and storage efficiency. While other choices relate to permissions that are important for a broader set of tasks within VMware, they do not directly pertain to the management of snapshots specifically. For example, allocating space and browsing the datastore are valuable but irrelevant to snapshot management directly. The privilege to create a snapshot is also important, but it focuses purely on creation rather than comprehensive management capabilities.
