Cannot "Download VM" and "Change ISO in CD Drive"

[fajarpri]

Hi all,

On ESXi4.0. I create a user role:

Datasore: Allocate Space, Browse Datastore.

Folder: All

Host > Local Operations: Create VM, Delete VM, Reconfigure VM

Network: All

Resource: Assign VM to resource pool

Virtual Machine: All

But, the user cannot download VM from the folder, and also user cannot change the ISO file in CD drive. The error message is "Cannot Browse Datastore". Whereas I've given it, haven't I?

Am I missing some permissions?

Thank you.

Datastore \ Low level file operations to be able to download / upload files.

Do you have a system or PCI card working with VMDirectPath? Submit your specs to the Unofficial VMDirectPath HCL - http://www.vm-help.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=21.

Is it possible to grant users right to "Download file from datastore" only and not allow them changing/moving/deleting?

I see that "low level operations" permission gives all of theses rights.
