reset User Permission on VCenter 2.5 U4

[VCPMa]

Hello @all,

today i have take a big misstake, i have add the Group Users to my VC Host Cluster Permissions with Read-Onl.

Now, i dont know why im not able to do some task with my administrator account on all steps the message comes "you have not the permission to do the task".

Can somebody help me to reset the permission to factory default´s ????

At the moment to do some tasks i must connect directly to the ESX Server with the root account.

Regards

The domain admins or the local admins of the VIC server should have admin rights. Are you a member of either of those groups?

you could try the following, open the VI client on your VCenter server, connect to localhost and use the local administrator account, you should be able to change the permissions.

i was locked in with the local Administrator and domain Administrator with the same result.

The Administrators are also Administrator inside VCenter Permissions.

You could try modify the permissions via the VC database, however I would suggest that if your environment is not very large to reinstall the VC server

You can reset the permissions from the vCenter database.

If you go to the vpx_access table, you will see the permissions that are created. Find that one that was mistakenly set to read only, and the Role value will probably be a -2 (if i remember correctly). If you set this to -1 it will grant the object administrative permissions. Once htis is done restart the vCenter service and you will be able to remove the permissions accordingly.

Of course this is technically a gray solution, so make sure you have a backup of the database before editing it directly.

Cheers,
