Yeah that's what I thought but when I set it up with read only, the properties on the vswitch were still greyed out

ah, hang on here what do you want them to view ?<br />
<br />
as Properties of the vSwitch ?<br />
<br />
e.g. view of Networking (which is properties)<br />
<br />
or Actual Properties of the vSwitch as Teaming functions ?

Well just to be able to select the host in the vctr and then select one of the vswitches and then be able to select properites if

to view what ?<br />
<br />
teaming information ?<br />
<br />
if this is what you after, the permissions do not granulate that far without granting access so they can view, which means they could change.<br />
<br />
WHY, do you want to grant access to an Admin View to view settings of the vSwitch ?

Just wondering what rights a user would require to be able to view the properties of a virtual switch in VCTR?<br />
Is there a way to give them this access without them being able to make any changes, just be able to view the properties.

What rights a users requires to be able to view the properties of a virtual switch

Virtualization is the act of creating a virtual (rather than actual) version of something, including (but not limited to) a virtual computer hardware platform, operating system (OS), storage device, or computer network resources. Virtualization is usually the creation of a system that executes separate from the underlying hardware resources, or the creation of an entire desktop for systems located elsewhere, similar to thin clients.

Virtualization

VMware, a software company founded in 1998,  was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies.

VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture.  Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.
