vmware-vim-cmd vimsvc/auth/entity_permission_add vim.Folder:ha-folder-root <sc user> false ReadOnly true

the groups in the sc have nothing to do with the roles visible in the via the vi client, so adduser -G does not solve this sadly.

Hey,

You should be able to just use the useradd command with the -G syntax.

Hi,

I'm wondering about this: Is it possible to add a user from CLI and add that same user from CLI to the "read-only" group which is visible when I connect with VI Client directly to the ESX Host?

Thanks,

Kenneth
