Creating a role using web client

[ret76]

Hello Team,

Sorry for lame question, but i can not find it anywhere:

web client connected to vsphere 5.5

I wanted to create a custom role to assign it to specific user. I do not see any option to create a custom role.

On vcenter level in Manage/Permissions i can use only predefined roles. How to create a custom role ?

Thanks,

Define the Role to Be Assigned

To provide for more granular access to your vSphere environment, first create a new role. You can create a custom limited vCenter Server role by using the vSphere Web Client. A custom role is a set of privileges that you define.

Procedure

1	Log in to the vSphere Web Client as the vCenter Server administrator.
2	Browse to Administration > Role Manager.
3	Select your vCenter Server system from the drop-down menu.
4	Click Create role action.
5	Type a name for the new role. Type Deployer of virtual machines from template.
6	Select privileges for the new role. ■ Datastore.Allocate space ■ Datastore.Browse datastore ■ Global.Cancel task ■ Network.Assign network ■ Resource.Assign virtual machine to resource pool ■ Scheduled task.Create tasks ■ Scheduled task.Run task ■ Virtual machine.Configuration.Add new disk ■ Virtual machine.Inventory.Create new ■ Virtual machine.Provisioning.Deploy template
7	Click OK.

You created the new vCenter Server role Deployer of virtual machines from template.

Refer :VMware vSphere 5.1?

As per above example, you can try creating other custom roles

I can not find "Administration" tab after logging in via web client. Here is what i can see:

Where is the " Administration" ??

Thanks,

Please try using the "administrator@vsphere.local" account.
