vSphere Management Assistant - Add Users - Help Please

[vinivirtus]

I am looking to configure the vMA to use other user accounts more I will not use Active Directory from Microsoft, will create local accounts on vMA and give the permissions on the file sudo.

Has anyone done this type of configuration that could help me in this procedure?

Thank you!

sudo su -

Enter VI-ADMIN credentials

useradd user1 -p password

That'st it

[vinivirtus]

In your example the user "user1" add what are their credentials?

vi-admin or vi-user?

[Sateesh_vCloud]

You can use any password of your choice with   -p as option

in my case  user1 pwd is "password"

useradd user1 -p Welcome --> this case password is "Welcome"

You need to use VI-ADMIN account

ok I want to add more users with permission vi-admin is possible?

Because in tests on LAB to perform actions with the add user have to put the vi-admin credentials to perform the action.

I want to direct administrative activities with the new user add.
