VRO 7.6 authentication provider

APJ7033 — Wed, 14 Aug 2019 20:03:13 GMT

when standing up a new instance of VRO, one has to add the appropriate authentication provider. In my case it is vsphere. The part I am confused about is, what purpose does the admin group serve. I have tried the following

Created a group called VCOAdmin in the vsphere.local domain.
Added an active directory group to the group
Made VCOAdmin the admin group for the authentication provider

When I test, my AD user that is part of VCOAdmin group test succesfully as having admin access to VRO

When I log out of the control center and try log in with my AD user the log in fails, I can however log into the VRO client HTML5 and Java.

I am also not able to execute API calls with this account.

What am I missing ?

Hi,

To login in vRO Control Center, you have to use root account, not an account from the configured admin group.

Ok, so what is the function of the admin group you have yo configure in the authentication provider wizard ?

Members of the admin group will have administrator privileges in vRO. That is, they will have full access to vRO features / content, and will be able to set permissions that control access to features / content for other users / groups.
