We are running pretty much all ESXi (NOT ESX). I've run through quite a few how-to's here and throughout the web and still having some issues. VMWare vCenter, Create ROLE + USER/GROUP + OBJECT.
Use the No Access role to masks specific areas of the hierarchy that you don’t want particular users to have access to. This ensures that when new objects are inserted in to the inventory hierarchy, they inherit permissions and are accessible to users. In most cases, enable propagation on permissions. Users with permissions at the root level have access to global data on vCenter Server, such as roles, custom attributes, vCenter Server settings, and licenses.Ĭhanges to licenses and roles propagate to all vCenter Server systems in a Linked Mode group, even if the user does not have permissions on all of the vCenter Server systems in the group. Use caution when granting a permission at the root vCenter Server level. Use folders to group objects to correspond to the differing permissions you want to grant for them. Otherwise, you could unintentionally restrict administrators’ privileges in parts of the inventory hierarchy where you have assigned that group the restrictive role. If you assign a restrictive role to a group, check that the group does not contain the Administrator user or other users with administrative privileges. Using the minimum number of permissions makes it easier to understand and manage your permissions structure. Where possible, grant permissions to groups rather than individual users. VMware recommends the following best practices when configuring roles and permissions in your vCenter Server environment: Virtual Machine - Allow read-only disk access Resource - Assign virtual machine to resource pool Minimum vCenter Privileges required for Cloud Computing:ĭatastore Cluster - Configure a datastore cluster propagating Permission for the Resource Pool, Network and Datastore non-propagating Permission at the Datacenter level, Assigning Role to Object, un-select "Propagate To Child Objects" No Access role on the non-web-server VMs assign permissions on each of the 10 web server VMs individually By choosing to propagate or not propagate a specific Permission, administrators may enact very precise control over users, what items they can see and what they can do with those items.Īlternatives to "Propagate To Child Objects": Permissions may be assigned to all inventory items in vCenter including: Folders, Resource Pools, Networks (Port Groups), and Datastores. Resource Pools are not intended as a means of organizing VMs Option named "Propagate To Child Objects" is enabled by default - allows the privileges assigned in this role to be applied to objects beneath the selected object Role are not functional until (1) a user or group is assigned to the role and (2) the role is then assigned to an inventory object as a permission. Possible to create custom roles to better map to your business needs With only three built-in roles on ESXi hosts, the defaults don’t leave room for much flexibility. ESXi can leverage either local users and groups or users and groups from Active Directory. From vSphere 5.1 onward, the architecture has significantly changed with the introduction of vCenter Single Sign-On (SSO). Power-ON VMĪdmin2 -> Admins-Gr -> Admins-role Resource-Pool: Web-Servers (inventory object) This model consists of users, groups, roles, privileges, and permissions:Īdmin1 -\. VCenter Server and ESXi hosts use the same structured security model to allow users to manage portions of the virtual infrastructure Add permission 'USER-TEST' or 'GROUP-TEST' with 'ROLE-TEST' to Network(s) (from vSwitch) Add permission 'USER-TEST' or 'GROUP-TEST' with 'ROLE-TEST' to Datastore (alocate Datastore for this user)Ĩ. Add permission 'USER-TEST' or 'GROUP-TEST' with 'ROLE-TEST' to Resource Pool/vAPPħ. Add permission 'USER-TEST' or 'GROUP-TEST' with 'ROLE-TEST' to vCenter and Datacenter(s) !!!! (limited, ex: cancel task, create VM from existing)Ħ. Create user 'USER-TEST' and assign him to 'GROUP-TEST'ĥ. Customize role 'ROLE-TEST' as descibed belowĤ. Resolution: The option to create resource pools is disabled unless VMware DRS is enabled on the cluster.Ģ.
The New Resource Pool option is grayed out Cannot create a Resource Pool in a vCenter Server cluster User 'TEST' will have Limited access to vCenter (role propagation requires so)Ĭannot create a Resource Pool in a vCenter Server cluster (1004098) User 'TEST' must have all permissions only to RESOURCE Pool assigned to 'TEST'
