Connect-VIServer - Permission to perform this operation was denied. Required privilege 'System.View' on managed object with id 'Folder-group-d1'.

A vCenter server 5.5 was replaced with a VCSA 6.5 U3.

I have some Powershell/PowerCli jobs that connect to the VCSA server and fail with an error like:

Connect-VIServer Permission to perform this operation was denied. Required privilege 'System.View' on managed object with id 'Folder-group-d1'.

The use used to logon can connect to the VCSA interactively and perform all the required actions.

Should I presume a VCSA permission issue or a PowerCLI (currently 5.8.0.xxx version) issue?

How do you logon, with a SSO account or with an AD account?

Does that account have the Admin role on the root folder (folder Datacenters)?
We had something similar, see Re: VMware.Vim.VimException: Permission to perform this operation was denied
