vCenter operator role mapping

20210604 — Thu, 12 Aug 2021 16:57:35 GMT

Hello,

I'm a bit surprised about this:

https://code.vmware.com/docs/6529/vmware-vcenter-server-appliance-management-programming-guide/doc/GUID-D7469D6F-5778-48B7-9AEB-865EC3E2226F.html

It seems the "operator" role is mapped to the "Administrators" SSO group. I would like to use a user with read-only (=operator) access for monitoring purposes, but that seems impossible.

If anyone could clarify how this makes sense..

Thanks,

Kris

I have the same problem, any one master-hand could resolve that?

There is a group "SystemConfiguration.ReadOnly" that seems to fit the role.
