Export of Security settings - users / roles / permissions from VCENTER

Hello,

I am currently performing an audit of account access and security settings within our company vcenter. 

I would like to create a script where I can export to a file account settings at each level within vcenter:

roles and their permissions

Roles assigned to accounts / groups

 

for instance, our company structure is as follows:

1.    Vcsc.orange.esx

       2.     Orange Solutions

               3.   Orange Cluster

                      4.    esx-ihost1

                      5.    esxi-host2

                      6.    esx-ihost3

                      7.    esxi-host4

                                8.   <<80 Virtual machines>>

                               

       I would like to export for each bullet point  (1, 2, 3,4 , 5,6, 7,8):

 

The level name, the user / group, the role, and where it is defined in

followed by a list of all Roles provider and the privileges each role has.

 

For instance, for point 3, Orange Cluster, I would like to see:

Level : Orange Cluster

User / Group         Role           Defined in

I would like to generate such a report for each level, from the root (#1) to each individual virtual machine (#8)

All this information is presented visually within the vcenter. There must be a way to export this information to a file rather then do so manually.

My limited understanding is that this information can be exported to a file using PowerCLi, but I have encountered nothing but errors when trying to follow examples others have posted.

Any assistance / guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

Mark
