Automation

Hi, i am working on a script that automatically generates a Resourcepool, nested Folders and a Group from a json input. How do i add that group with a specified permission to the Resourepool and the folder structure?

The script needs to work on multiple servers, so i can't really work with hardcoded IDs. They would be different on another server
The Role always uses the same name on each server, so i think i will have to work with that

Not sure what the actual question is (without seeing the code you already have).
Basically, you will need to use the New-VIPermission cmdlet.

I tried using New-VIPermission, but i get an error saying that my principal is wrong.
Here is my Code:

Did Get-VIAccount return anything?
And what exactly is the error message?

This is the error message. Get-VIAccount doesn't seem to return anything

Is that value in $Name an account the vsphere.local domain or in the AD domain?

Can you try with the format $name = 'account@vsphere.local.
And if it is an AD account with $name = 'account@domain'

I think i know where i went wrong. It is not an account, it is only a group that i want to assign. So i think i need another cmdlet for that

No, you can retrieve groups as well.
This works for me (retrieves an AD group)

That worked. Thank you for your help. I got it now
