VM auto startup for non root user

Hello all,

     I have some question:

01- I have ESXI 6.7 in my environment, every user can access for some VM, but I have a problem with auto start VM, if this VM hide from root user he is not startup automatically.

*So I need auto startup for non root.

02- I can connect ssh by third party app in LAN network, but when try from WAN can't connect required password and after put password required password again and again then disconnect.

03- In ESXI 6.5 can connect to web by user "DCUI and vpxuser" but in 6.7 I show user in permission tab but not found in user tab.

Thanks for your support and I'm a waiting your reply

3. vpxuser is created and managed by vCenter Server, sounds like one of your hosts is managed by a vCenter Server but not the other host.

1. No idea why autostart is showing that behaviour. Not sure why you would have a VM that root can not administer anyway.

2. Could be a firewall Issue.

3. You don’t need to do anything with the DCUI or vpxuser accounts.

01- I'm trying some things, so I can do them with the console, like hide VM from root and give it VM to another user but after restart server the VM not startup and after search I found when this VM gave permission no access to root not startup because that I ask how startup for non root.

Are there any command from console or modification that allows it to run automatically, while it is on another user than the root?

02- I already have firewall sophos and open port ssh 22 also port for ESXI web 902 and 443 but I can't access from wan only from lan network
