Hi,
We use VIX api calls to communicate with VMs on an ESX/ESXi Server. The following permissions for a role at the ESX/ESXi host level allow us to do our work with VM images using VIX api just fine -
All Privileges - Virtual Machine - Interaction
* Acquire guest Control ticket
* Backup operation on Virtual Machine
* Console Interaction
* Create Screenshot
* Power Off
* Power On
* Reset
* VMWare Tools Install
* Acquire guest Control ticket
* Backup operation on Virtual Machine
* Console Interaction
* Create Screenshot
* Power Off
* Power On
* Reset
* VMWare Tools Install
All Privileges - Virtual Machine - State
* Create Snapshot
* Remove Snapshot
* Rename Snapshot
* Revert to Snapshot
* Create Snapshot
* Remove Snapshot
* Rename Snapshot
* Revert to Snapshot
However, the same permissions do not work for a user defined at the vCenter level. Can anybody help me in figuring out the extra permissions that may need for the user defined at the vCenter level?
Thanks in advance,
Alpesh
