Hi there
I was wondering if any has experienced this. I am getting the following errors
View Composer Fault: Unexpected VC fault from View Composer (Unknown) - Unknown - <NoPermissionFault xmlns="urn:internalvim25" xsi:type="NoPermission" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"><object type="Folder" serverGuid="27ad98d7-f12a-4b47-a16d-183d24da5bff">group-d1</object><privilegeId>Global.DisableMethods</privilegeId></NoPermissionFault> for VM lc-win1
View Composer Fault: Unexpected VC fault from View Composer (Unknown) - Unknown - <NoPermissionFault xmlns="urn:internalvim25" xsi:type="NoPermission" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"><object type="VirtualMachine" serverGuid="27ad98d7-f12a-4b47-a16d-183d24da5bff">vm-64</object><privilegeId>VirtualMachine.Provisioning.Clone</privilegeId></NoPermissionFault> for VM ded-win10-2
That is pretty much as what is described at https://www.vmadmin.co.uk/resources/53-view/344-viewcomposererrornopermission
However, I don't think it is a permission issue as I now gave the composer service account administrator privileges.
I have encountered the following FATAL entries in log

Any thoughts?
So I had this exact issue and the error is not helpful as the role setup was correct, another VMware article fixed the issue:
Linked Clones Provisioning Error
Turns out the service account I was using to create the machines on the composer was in the active directory group to access the view connection server as an admin, once removed and provisioning reenabled the composer created the desktops instantly.
Thank you for letting us know. Could you tell me a bit more about what you did ?
I have the same error.. Thank you
Hi AlphaSun91
Please verify the permissions for vcenter service account as per Privileges Required for the vCenter Server User
