Hello @LucD 

Thank you, please see below what I used

#vCenter Role & Permission export#

Write-Host "`tExporting Permissions and Roles for vCenter.."

#$vCenterHost = Read-Host "Vcenter"

try {

#Establishing connection to vCenter

Connect-VIServer -Server vcenter -user

#Permissions

$Permission = Get-VIPermission | Select-Object @{N='vCenter';E={$_.Uid.Split('@:')[1]}},

Principal,Role,propagate,

@{n='Entity';E={$_.Entity.Name}},

@{N='Entity Type';E={$_.EntityId.Split('-')[0]}}

#Export to CSV

$Permission | Export-Csv -Path "C:\Temp\$vCenterHost-Permission.csv"

#Export to XML

$PermissionXML = Get-VIPermission

$PermissionXML | Export-Clixml -Path "C:\Temp\$vCenterHost-Permission.xml"

#Roles

$Role = Get-VIRole | Select-Object @{N='vCenter';E={$_.Uid.Split('@:')[1]}},

Name,

@{N='PrivilegeList';E={[string]::Join([char]10,$_.PrivilegeList)}}

#Export to CSV

$Role | Export-Csv -Path "C:\Temp\$vCenterHost-Roles.csv"

#Export to XML

$RoleXML = Get-VIRole

$RoleXML | Export-Clixml -Path "C:\Temp\$vCenterHost-Roles.xml"

Write-Verbose "`tRole & Permission Data Exported Successfully from $vCenterHost" -Verbose

Write-Verbose "Disconnecting from $vCenterHost" -Verbose

Disconnect-VIServer -Server

}

catch {

Write-Verbose "`tError Encountered! Error:$_" -Verbose

$ErrorObject = New-Object -TypeName PSObject -Property @{

vCenterName = $vCenterHost

Error = $_

}

}
