I'd like to create a custom user in ESXi, which could do only the following, without having full host administrative rights:
Connect to ESXi server
Open all the virtual machine consoles
Start and stop virtual machines
Specifically, he shouldn't be able to create, delete or modify virtual machines.
Is this possible without VirtualCenter? If yes, how can I do it?
Thanks
Hello
Connect to the ESXi server with Vi client using the root account
Create the user you want to give restricted acces to in the 'Users & Groups' tab
Click on 'Administration' and create a role with the permissions you want to allow for this user.
Click on 'Inventory' and in the left panel right click on the server and select 'Add Permission'
Add the user you created with the role you created
Done, now test by logging in with this new user id
>Useful privileges:
>All privileges > Virtual Machine > Interaction:
>Power On
>Power Off
>Reset
>Console Interaction

I'm logged in as root and I have created the new user, but when I click on "Administration" the "Role" submenu is greyed out.
Ok, now it works, thanks.
Glad to be of service :smileygrin:
