Permissions needed to use VCS as Phone Book Source

Question

Greetings,
Backgound:
I would like to use our parent company's VCS (ip reachable) as a phone book source in our TMS. It would appear that I first have to add the VCS to our systems list in TMS.To add it to our systems list I apparently need some credentials on their VCS.
Question:
What is the best way to set up their VCS so I will have the minimum privileges necessary to pull phone book info? Should they create a read-only Administrator account?
Thanks in advance.

Alright guys I have a work around to this  but its not pretty and frankly Cisco needs to solve this, how are they possibly thinking they can deploy a device like hte DX80 without tying it to the TMS phonebook.  Thats a travesty and the fees to move your VC registered endpoints onto CUCM is prohibitive to say the least.  That all said, Cisco get it together and solve this or the DX series will be dead to SO MANY people and companies.  
Now with that all said, the work around:
The goal is to get all TMS endpoints into CUCM as a user so that they will show in the directory.  Now you have two options.  1 if your MAIL ID is what you use for your URIs then all you need to do is import the CR users from AD (if CRs have AD accounts).  You will then have a directory as long as all your URIS are right.  Thats fine and relatively scale able.  For those of us that do not have this done like this you will need to Export all of your video devices from TMS into an excel sheet.  You will need to work the sheet a bit so that the columns can line up to DISPLAY NAME (name of endpoint) and MAIL ID (URI).  You can import this into CUCM to create the  CR users and they will then show in the directory.  This is not long term scale-able   and when you want to change a room you now have to edit a manual CUCM user.  This will only work if you run 8.5 or higher.
