We have a datacenter with vSphere/vCenter and a dozen V7.0.3 ESXi hosts running a large test environment. Many of our hosts have several VLAN virtual NICs configured which connect to various test network subnets. I am trying to create a role that will allow our users to make changes to Network Adapters for their assigned VMs.
The intended role will allow users to Add, Remove, Connect, Disconnect and reassign NICs where this role is applied to their VM
The current role privileges that I am using are these. I found this in a discussion but I don't believe that it was specific to V7.x.x.
Network
- Assign network
- Configure
- Move network
- Remove
Virtual machine
- Change Configuration
- Add or remove device
- Change Settings
- Modify device settings
Interaction
These priviliges mostly work.
- Users can connect and disconnect network connections. This is handled by Interaction - Connect Devices.
- Users can remove a network adapter.
Things that do not work.
- Users cannot add a network adapter
- Users cannot assign a network adapter to a different network.
I am sure that it is something simple. Any insight is greatly appreciated.
ETA... This was the post that got me this far along in the process.
