My purpose is to create the new user who can manage my ESXi Server.
I create the user and set password, assign him to the root group. I also set his permissions to console.
I tried to login console with the new account, it works fine.
But when I try to login through the vSphere Client, I got errors. No permissions.
What shall I do? Maybe some services need be restarted? Does anyone know?
Or any suggestions are welcome. Thanks!
Have you added this user to a Role in vCenter?
To allow user permission thorugh vSphere Client on standalone host you have to create a new role with requried access and assign the user to this role.
Check this link
Sorry. I do not have Vcenter, I am using the client
Thanks! I have add the user to admin group.
BTW, your link is vSphere 4, not 5.
Thanks everybody.
I think I got the answer. In ESXi, there is a definition named Role.
Group is not the same as Unix, it is a group users. Permissions are based on Role.
So even you add the user to a group, it is no use. You must add the users or groups to a role.
Then it works.
