Hi, I propose to create new role for vCenter in vSphere client by duplicating and editing existing 'Read-only' role. When duplicate is created click by right mouse button on it and edit role. In the tree with privileges expand 'Datastore', check 'Browse datastore' and save.

Here is how the role should be set

Let me know if you need more details.

I though some other (minor) rights had to be set.

I will stay with what you suggested.

thanks and regards
