Hide objects in UI interface

Hi all,

I would like to hide from view IU vCOPS show me objects in gray refer to folder or VMs off. I tried to set the No Access on a folder where there are a number of VMs always off, but I have not solved anything.

Any suggestions?

I am not sure, that it is a answer to your question, but for example in VC Relationshp widget you can hide gray objects, in Status Filter just deselect Show/Hide objects with Powered Off values.

There is the 'Global -> vCenter Operations Manager Admin' and 'Global -> vCenter Operations Manager User' priviledge which can be disabled for certain roles and you could setup a complex roles on folder architecture. That should work - my collegue didn't had the priviledge in his attached role and he was only able to see the object where he had the priviledge in the role...

Oh no, another Virtualisation signature...

I'll try... Thank you very much...

Just a question. If a user does not have one of these privileges, what happen if he login to UI view?

If a user doesn't have privileges to something, it just won't appear to them.

Yes Mark.J. I know... But I have configured on a folder vSphere No access (with propagate) to the user that vCOPS uses for collection. The folder does not appears in UI, but the VMs into the folder yes. Why?

Thank you  for your support.

The VM & Template and Host & Cluster security hierarchies are different. You may have block access in VM & Templates, but it's still getting access to the VMs 'likely' from the Datacenter entity.

We strongly recommend against blockin access to VMs in shared/heterogenious infrastructures and recommend the smallest chunk of monitored resources be the cluster-level. To block access to pockets of the monitored infrastructure, such as VMs, can created "blind-spots" in capacity planning and severely imper the product's ability to make accurate assessments/predictions.
