error connecting to vcenter

I am getting an error when running Connect-VIServer

"Connect-VIServer Permission to perform this operation was denied. Required

privilege 'System.Read' on managed object with id 'OptionManager-VpxSettings'."

I am not an admin on this vcenter, but have full administrator rights to a specific folder. Can I connect to the folder with powercli?

Can you upgrade?
From the other thread I linked to it seems the issue was fixed in 11.3
