Hi..
Tell me if i understood correctly, u have a user (X) who wants to (Power On/OFF, Console) permissions on some VMs.
u assigned VM user role to X on these VMs and when he tries to access these VMs using workstation 9 it refuses giving this log right..?!?!
Exactly, with user X being an AD account.

Waiting for further comments...
If I read that thread right, the last post is saying he granted read permissions to the top level data center than for every single VM the user shouldn't have access to, explicitly set "no permission access"? Im really hoping theres an alternative as there are only 3 of nearly 70 VMs on the datacenter this user needs access to and that would be extremely tedious not to mention having to remember to add that to ever new VM manually as they are created.
As for the KB, I did see that, but honestly don't understand what it means when it says "add the user account configured in vSphere to the host machine running Workstation". The user in question here is an AD user account and is the account the user is logged into the host machine running Workstation. What more would be needed?
