Q: When connecting System Center Service Manager 2012 to System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2012, what permissions does the connecting account require?

A: System Center Service Manager (SCSM) 2012 has a connector to System Center Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM) 2012 that's primarily used to pull over information from the library and fabric, including the following:
•Service templates
•Virtual machine (VM) templates
•Logical networks
•Load balancers
•VIP profiles
•Storage classifications

The connection account used in the connector requires full access to Service Manager, and to enable full functionality, you need to make the account an SCVMM administrator.
