setup user permissions to access only 1 VM

Hello,

We have an outside vendor developing a VM for us and he would like to have console access to one particular VM.  The problem is I have a bunch of mission critical vm's on that same host I don't want him to have access too.  Is there a way to lock down the permissions to one particular VM on a host for a particular username?

You can either set the appropriate permissions for this user on the VM itself or create a folder in "VMs and Templates", move the VM into this folder and apply the permissions on the folder.

You could even lock the access down so that he only has console access by creating a new role, called say Console Access, with only the Console Interaction privilege (listed under Virtual Machine\Interaction) and assigning the user this role on the VM (or folder).
