      Section Number and Name: 
      
      11.3. Creating a VMware User
      
      Describe the issue: 
      
      
      In the [documentation of VMware privileges]. It is written that VMware users need these privileges:
      
      All Privileges -> Datastore -> Allocate Space, Browse datastore, Update Virtual Machine files, Low-level file operations
      
      All Privileges -> Network -> Assign Network
      
      All Privileges -> Resource -> Assign virtual machine to resource pool
      
      All Privileges -> Virtual Machine -> Change Config (All)
      
      All Privileges -> Virtual Machine -> Interaction (All)
      
      All Privileges -> Virtual Machine -> Edit Inventory (All)
      
      All Privileges -> Virtual Machine -> Provisioning (All)
      
      Suggestions for improvement: 
      
       All Privileges -> Virtual Machine -> Guest Operations (All)  // This permission is missing. After adding the missing permission, now the satellite can provision new hosts with cloud-init customization.
      
      Additional information: 
      
      This BZ is applicable for all the versions of the satellite, so update the provision doc for all the supported version of the satellite.
