TSM administrative privilege needed to use the TSM for VE plug-in GUI

When configuring the vSphere Client plug-in user interface, the Tivoli Storage Manager Server configuration panel requests the name of a TSM Server administrator but does not indicate which administrative privilege is needed.

Note: For information about Tivoli Storage Manager V6.4, please refer to the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Information Center article on Data Protection for VMware vCenter plug-in user roles.

The table below shows the vSphere Client plug-in user interface operations which can be used based on the privilege class assigned to the TSM administrator ID.

Plug-In UI Operations	TSM Administrator ID with system privilege, unrestricted policy privilege, or restricted policy privilege for the policy domain to which the client node is assigned	TSM Administrator ID​ ​ with any other privilege classes​ (e.g., node privilege, operator privilege, no privilege, etc.)
