# Enabling NSX-T in a Hosted Private Cloud VMware on OVHcloud

## Objective

This guide explains how to add read rights to a user so they can access the NSX-T web console of your Hosted Private Cloud - VMware on OVHcloud.

These rights are granted from the OVHcloud Control Panel
.

***

### OVHcloud Control Panel Access

- **Direct link:** [VMware vSphere](https://manager.eu.ovhcloud.com/#/dedicated/dedicated_cloud)
- **Navigation path:** <code className="action">Hosted Private Cloud</code> > <code className="action">Managed VMware vSphere</code> > Select your vSphere service

***


## Requirements

- A subscription to a [Hosted Private Cloud](https://www.ovhcloud.com/de/hosted-private-cloud/vmware/) plan with the **"Network Security Virtualization"** or **"Software-Defined Datacenter"** options
- You must be the administrator contact of the VMware infrastructure on OVHcloud, as this contact receives the login credentials.
- You must have completed the steps in this documentation: [Getting started with NSX](/de/guides/hosted-private-cloud/powered-by-vmware/nsx-first-steps.md)

## Instructions

### Step 1 - Enabling NSX-T


How do I enable the NSX-T interface for my user?

Edit the user with whom you want to access the NSX-T web interface:


<code className="action">VMware</code> > <code className="action">PCC-XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX</code> > <code className="action">Users</code> > <code className="action">Modify</code> then enable the <code className="action">NSX Interface</code> button.

### Step 3 - Adding NSX-T rights to the Datacentres


How do I add the rights to the Datacentres?

All that is left to do is modify the rights for each desired Datacenter by clicking: <code className="action">VMware</code> > <code className="action">PCC-XXX-XXX-XXX-XXX</code> > <code className="action">Users</code> > <code className="action">View/Edit the rights for each DC</code> > <code className="action">Modify</code>.
A window then opens. Choose the necessary rights from the 3 main sections > <code className="action">vSphere access</code> / <code className="action">Access to the VM Network</code> / <code className="action">Access to V(X)LANs</code>.


The following rights are available: <strong>Operator</strong> / <strong>Administrator</strong> / <strong>None</strong> / <strong>Read-only</strong>


Only <strong>Read-only</strong> access to the <code className="action">V(X)LANs</code> is required to access the NSX-T web interface.


Choose <code className="action">Read-only</code>.


If you want to make changes in the NSX-T web interface, additional rights will then be required, such as <strong>Operator</strong> or <strong>Administrator</strong>.

### Step 5 - Useful information

You can check whether NSX-T is enabled on your Datacenter. You can also find your NSX-T URL and its version:

#### Via the OVHcloud API


🇪🇺EU▾

[GET/dedicatedCloud/{serviceName}/nsxt](https://eu.api.ovh.com/console/?section=/dedicatedCloud&branch=v1#get-/dedicatedCloud/-serviceName-/nsxt)

> **Parameters:**
>
> serviceName: The reference of your PCC in the form `pcc-XX-XX-XX-XX`.

Example response:

```shell
{
  "version": "4.1.1.0.0-22224312",
  "state": "enabled",
  "url": "https://nsxt.pcc-XX-X-X-X.ovh.X",
  "datacentersState": [
    {
      "id": 1542,
      "state": "disabled"
    },
    {
      "state": "enabled",
      "id": 1345
    }
  ]
}
```
