Host permissions

Hi,

does anyone know of any documentstion or articles refering to creating local users and groups on ESX hosts. I have created the user account and group via using the VC onto the individula host but i need to know how to lock down the access granted. i.e. the account needs to be able to use gz to zip vm's create folders remove folders and copy folders. I don't want to provide root access to individuals however i need to pass over certain tasks all the groups that currently exist don't detail what they permit. I also need to know ow to provide that account with access via SSH..

thanks

Rich

Hi DTAVERT,

Thanks very much for your reply that is helpful but are there any articles on setting permissions and restricting certain activities so what groups provide what level of access etc.
