Removed Administrator permission from VM in vSphere

I need help on this one.  I inadvertantly deleted the Administrator permission from a vm at the vm level and it disappeared from vCenter.  The vm is still in existance, and I can see it if I connect to the ESXi host that it is on using the vClient.  What I need is to be able to see it in vCenter.  Is there a CL command to add a permission to a vm?  Any ideas?

If you know which host on which the VM is running, you could remote shell into the host and use vim-cmd:
