What is the primary difference between a global permission and a regular permission in vCenter Server?

Global permissions are automatically propagated to all child objects, while regular permissions are not.

Global permissions apply to all objects in the vCenter Server inventory, while regular permissions apply to a specific object.

Global permissions are used only for vCenter Single Sign-On users, while regular permissions are for local users.

Global permissions can only be assigned to groups, while regular permissions can be assigned to users or groups.

What is the primary purpose of cloning an existing custom role in vCenter Server?

To merge the privileges of two roles into a single new role.

To create a role that is automatically updated when the original role is changed.

To create a backup of the role in case it is accidentally deleted.

To create a new role with the same privileges as the original, which can then be modified without affecting the original.

When creating a custom role in vCenter Server, what must you do to define the role's capabilities?

Choose a predefined template from a list of common role configurations.

Write a script that defines the allowed actions for the role.

Assign the role to a user or group to activate its privileges.

Select the specific privileges from the privilege list that the role should include.

What is the effect of the 'No Access' role when assigned to a user on a specific inventory object?

It grants read-only access to the object.

It prevents the user from seeing the object but allows actions if they have a role on a parent.

It removes the object from the inventory.

It denies all privileges on that object, even if the user has permissions inherited from a parent.
