Explanation
In the vSphere permission hierarchy, permissions propagate downward from parent objects to child objects. The object hierarchy from top to bottom is: vCenter Server root → Datacenter Folder → Datacenter → VM Folder / Host Folder → individual VMs. A Datacenter Folder (also called a root folder) sits above the Datacenter level and is the highest named container object from which a virtual machine can inherit permissions. Permissions set at the Datacenter Folder level cascade all the way down to every VM inside every datacenter in that folder. While the vCenter root itself also propagates permissions, 'Data Center Folder' (C) is the highest discrete inventory object in the hierarchy above a VM.
