About VMware providers
A VMware provider is a dedicated provider that contains the connection details to connect over HTTPS to your vSphere environment.
You need to create a VMware provider before you can use VMware tiles.
What are Integrations and Providers
The user account specified in the provider must have at least the ReadOnly role in vCenter.
