Dashboard Permissions in VMWare View Administrator 4.6

[matt_vasbinder]

Hello,

I have a VMWare View Administrator console in a shared environment. The only thing that is shared is the vCenter the View servier resides on. I have a customer's contractor who needs access to this admin page. My debacle is simply this. I want to give that user read only access to everything, but I do not want him to be able to see the Dashboard. Is this possible, and how would I set that permission.

Any help is appreciated.

I don’t think there is a View security setting that will block dashboard but perhaps you could restrict access to whatever file controls that on the Connection broker?

Thanks mittim,

I will give that ago. I am still new to this, but have engineers over me that may be able to help with understanding that. I will post back to let you know how it goes, or if that is not feasable in their eyes.

Good luck. It’s definitely not something I remember ever seeing posted to the forums. Maybe someone who has done something similar will see it and be able to post a better resolution.

You do not happen to know the location of that file you speak of do you mittim?

I do not it’s purely a guess and to be honest I don’t even know if a file exist that would control that but it’s the only thing I could come up with.
