+# Terraform vSphere Provider Dev Docs
+
+This document is in place for developer documentation.  User documentation is located [HERE](https://www.terraform.io/docs/providers/vsphere/) on Terraform's website.
+
+Thank-you [@tkak](https://github.com/tkak) and [Rakuten, Inc.](https://github.com/rakutentech) for their original contribution of the source base used for this provider!
+
+## Introductory Documentation
+
+Both [README.md](../../../README.md) and [BUILDING.md](../../../BUILDING.md) should be read first!
+
+## Base API Dependency ~ [govmomi](https://github.com/vmware/govmomi) 
+
+This provider utilizes [govmomi](https://github.com/vmware/govmomi) Go Library for communicating to  VMware vSphere APIs (ESXi and/or vCenter).
+Because of the dependency this provider is compatible with VMware systems that are supported by govmomi. Much thanks to the dev team that maintains govmomi, and
+even more thanks to their guidance with the development of this provider.  We have had many issues answered by the govmomi team!
+
+#### vSphere CLI ~ [govc](https://github.com/vmware/govmomi/blob/master/govc/README.md)
+
+One of the great tools that govmomi contains is [govc](https://github.com/vmware/govmomi/blob/master/govc/README.md). It is a command line tool for using the govmomi API.  Not only is it a tool to use, but also it's 
+[source base](https://github.com/vmware/govmomi/blob/master/govc/) is a great resource of examples on how to exercise the API.
+
+## Required privileges for running Terraform as non-administrative user
+Most of the organizations are concerned about administrative privileges. In order to use Terraform provider as non priviledged user, we can define a new Role within a vCenter and assign it appropriate privileges:
+Navigate to Administration -> Access Control -> Roles
+Click on "+" icon (Create role action), give it appropraite name and select following privileges:
+ * Datastore
+   - Allocate space
+   - Browse datastore
+   - Low level file operations
+   - Remove file
+   - Update virtual machine files
+   - Update virtual machine metadata
+
+ * Folder (all)
+   - Create folder
+   - Delete folder
+   - Move folder
+   - Rename folder
+
+ * Network
+   - Assign network
+
+ * Resource
+   - Apply recommendation
+   - Assign virtual machine to resource pool
+
+ * Virtual Machine
+   - Configuration (all) - for now
+   - Guest Operations (all) - for now
+   - Interaction (all)
+   - Inventory (all)
+   - Provisioning (all)
+
+ * License 
+   - Add license
+   - Remove license
+   - Update license labels 
+
+These settings were tested with [vSphere 6.0](https://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-60/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.vmware.vsphere.security.doc%2FGUID-18071E9A-EED1-4968-8D51-E0B4F526FDA3.html) and [vSphere 5.5](https://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-55/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.vmware.vsphere.security.doc%2FGUID-18071E9A-EED1-4968-8D51-E0B4F526FDA3.html). For additional information on roles and permissions, please refer to official VMware documentation.

+This section is a work in progress and additional contributions are more than welcome.
