VirtualCenter permission to migrate VMs?

Hi,

Can anyone tell me the privilege that gives a user permission to migrate a VM? I thought it would be Virtual Machine/Inventory/Move, but when this is assigned to a custom role the 'migrate' option is greyed.

I know the Virtual Machine Administrator role allows migration, but I need to give permission to migrate without allowing all the other VMA privileges.

Cheers,

Mark

If you are running VC2.5 it will require a bare minimum of Resource>Migrate + Resource>Assign Virtual Machine To Resource Pool to move a powered on VM and additionally Resource>Relocate to migrate a powered off VM.

Nothing else is required.

I can check in the morning as I am not at work right now, but can you may be able to customize a role to allow this...

Thanks for your help guys.

We're actually still running VC2.02, but it was exactly as you suggested Mike.
