How to Check Permissions for Volumes in VMware
The VMWare Virtual Center utility lets you view and edit user permissions for VMWare volumes. You use these permissions when you have several volumes with sensitive information located on a network. The permissions block unwanted users and allow others to freely use the VMWare volumes. Administrators typically use permissions on virtual volumes that run server or network services.
