HI,
i try to create a local readonly esxi user. In the past i had script like this..
New-VMHostAccount -Id $user -Password $pwd -Description $desc -UserAccount
New-VIPermission -Entity $ent -Principal $user -Role $role
where -Entiity of the New-VIPermission cmdlet was "ha-folder-root". if found this solution here in the community but i was not sure why it is this entity.
Now with my 6.5 host it comes to an error that the entity could not be found and a litle bit research brought me to this..
New-VIPermission -Entity (get-datacenter) -Principal $user -Role $role
Since Entity is descript as viobjekt this works well in the first step... but it the end its looks not that good..
New-VIPermission -Entity (get-datacenter) -Principal username -Role ReadOnly
Role Principal Propagate IsGroup
---- --------- --------- -------
ReadOnly username True False
Get-VIPermission|select Role, Principal, Entity
Role Principal Entity
---- --------- ------
ReadOnly username ha-datacenter
ReadOnly username host
Admin vpxuser root
Admin dcui root
Admin root root
ReadOnly username vm
It looks like that this is not the best option. So maybe somebody can point me to some information regarding this entity thing or can exlpain it to me?
And at the end ... is there an easy way to mark code as code so that it will be colored in this forum?
Greetings...
