PowerCLI 12.1 - Set-VM revert snapshot error: Required privilege 'System.Read' on managed object with id 'OptionManager-VpxSettings'

Hello,
with PowerCLI 12.1 we get an error when we revert to a snapshot with Set-VM -Snapshot if the user has only permission to a vm or a folder with vms.

Connect-VIServer vcenter -User userA
$vm = Get-Vm "vm01"
$snapshot = Get-Snapshot -VM $vm -Name "tmp"
Set-Vm -VM $vm -Snapshot $snapshot -Confirm:$false
Set-Vm : 20.10.2020 08:08:08    Set-VM          Failed to get Lookup Service information for this vCenter server. Details:
Permission to perform this operation was denied. Required privilege 'System.Read' on managed object with id
'OptionManager-VpxSettings'.'
At line:1 char:1
+ Set-Vm -VM $vm -Snapshot $snapshot -Confirm:$false

+ CategoryInfo          : InvalidOperation: (:) [Set-VM], VimException

re.Cmdlets.Commands.SetVM

I have try it with PowerCLI 12.0 and didn't get this error.

I have olso try it with PowerCLI 12.1 and an other user who has permissions on the level of vcenter and get no error.

 

Can please watch a PowerCLI developer in the code and try to fix this?

 

Regards Maik

I suggest you open an SR

We didn't have an SDK support contract, so the case will be closed with this hint. 😞

And I didn't know an other place to descripe it.

You don't need a Developer Support contract for opening an SR for this kind of issue.

If GSS claims you do, refer them to PowerCLI Support Breakdown

The more mentions of a problem the PowerCLI Team gets through SRs, the higher the priority of the issue will become.
