privilege id

[PowercliCommuni]

what are the privilege id's for allow vm download and allow vm files upload?

[RvdNieuwendijk]

Do you mean download and upload files in the Datastore Browser? In that case you need "Datastore.Low level file operations".

[PowercliCommuni]

allow vm download and allow vm files upload in a virtual machine (like vmx,logs)

these are the privilege of vm provisioning.

[RvdNieuwendijk]

Dowloading and uploading files like the .vmx that is what you need "Datastore.Low level file operations" for.

I think you are saying about datastore privileges id.I am asking for virtual machine provisioning privilege id

[RvdNieuwendijk]

I am sorry that I didn't understand your question at first.

For provisioning you need:

"Virtualmachine.Provisioning.Allow virtual machine download" and "Virtual machine.Provisioning.Allow virtual machine files upload".

[PowercliCommuni]

thats fine.

for example : allow disk access -

VirtualMachine.Provisioning.DiskRandomAccess

like that,the id for allow vm download and vm files upload?

[RvdNieuwendijk · Accepted solution]

You can create a conversion table from the Privilege Names used in the Defined Privileges document to the Id's used in PowerCLI with:

Get-VIPrivilege |
Select-Object -Property Id,Name,Description |
Sort-Object -Property Id

In this table you can see that the Id of "Allow virtual machine download" is: VirtualMachine.Provisioning.GetVmFiles.

The Id of "Allow virtual machine files upload" is: VirtualMachine.Provisioning.PutVmFiles
