Changing the collection User

I need to limit the number of VMs that Ops Mgr is looking at for licensing reasons.  I have my user and permissions setup but how do I change the collection user?  I left it blank during the initial installation so it has rights to look at everything right now.

Thanks in advance,

Aaron

Hi Aaron,

  One of the selections for the vCenter in the Admin UI is to "update" - that will allow you to add your collection user.

One more quick question:

Within Ops Mgr, the backgroup says "License limit reached".  If I look at the dashboard, I only have 38 VMs with a 50 VM license.  I went into the Admin UI and restarted it but it still says Overlicensed.

Check in vCenter and make sure your license key is applied to the vC Ops instance...

Have you reduced the visibility for the user when changing the user account? It might take up to the retention period before the VMs are actually removed from the vApp.
