- D
Read-Only
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The Virtual Machine Power User role is designed for users who need advanced virtual machine management capabilities, including managing snapshots, without having full administrative control. This role fits the scenario's requirement of granting snapshot management capabilities while restricting the ability to delete or power off virtual machines.
- A. Incorrect.
The Administrator role provides full permissions to all aspects of vCenter, which exceeds the requirement of managing snapshots without the ability to delete or power off virtual machines.
- B. Correct.
The Virtual Machine Power User role allows managing virtual machine snapshots and other tasks like creating or modifying virtual machines but does not grant permissions to delete or power off the VMs, which aligns with the requirement.
- C. Incorrect.
The Virtual Machine User role permits powering on/off and taking console access of VMs but does not include managing snapshots, making it insufficient for this requirement.
- D. Incorrect.
The Read-Only role only provides view access and does not allow any actions, including managing snapshots, making it unsuitable for this scenario.
