how to remove vm power on permission for all except admins in vcenter

[Sachchidanand]

Just create a custome role and remove the power on permission, e.g clone an administrator role and create new custome role then edit the role and uncheck the option of "power on" under the virtual machine>interaction>power on.

Assing this new role to the users whom you don't want power on permission.

Hi Sachchidanand

Thanks for your replay but only for few vm's i need to apply this policy like nobody should power on except admins.

But in above scenario if i create role like that so they cannot even power on there normal vm's. i need to apply this policy only for few critical servers. so any option is there.

Use folders in your inventory, put those critical server VMs in their own folder and other VMs in other folders, apply different permissions to the different folders.

Oh, and please don't create duplicate posts.

Insteed giving permission based on Cluster/Datacenter, give permission based on folder. The same i have tested in my enviornment and it's working. 

Seperate your VMs in different folders and assign different permision to different folder for the same user.
