How to show only my VMS

[pcsa]

Hey,

I want to make groups for VMS, only a team can see his own VMS.

It's possible with vSphere and if yes how ?

Thanks.

Hi,

The only similar thread i came across related to permitting access to vm's via resource pools, not sure if you have a clustered environment in place

Welcome to the Community - You will have to use permissions - cretaing hroups and appplying the appproiate permisions so theu can access the required VMs

You can group the VMs into a Folder using the VMs and Templates inventory view, and then grant a AD group the appropriate level of permissions to the folder on the Permissions tab for the folder (for example, Virtual Machine Power User).

I wouldn't use Resource Pools for this purpose, as grouping for security is not really the intended purpose of a Resource Pool.  If you add the group to the VM folder containing the VM's, they will be granted a login to vSphere, and when the log in, their client will open on the VMs and Templates inventory view, and only their folder will be visible.
