Cannot Enable Bash Shell in vCenter

I am unable to enable bash shell access in vSphere (v7.0.3.00100).

 

When I attempt to set "Bash Shell" to "enabled" via the vCenter Server Management GUI, I'll toggle it to enable and set a timeout.  When I hit "OK," vSphere immediately disconnects me and logs me out.

When I log in via SSH to vSphere and attempt to enable bash, I get a "not authorized" error.  I'm not using "root" or "administrator," but account in "vsphere.local" that are in the "Administrator" group.

Command> shell.set --enabled true
Error in method: Not authorized to use this API (code 3000)
Command>
