SetentityPermissions error: a specified parameter was not correct: entity

With this code:

my $host_view = Vim::find_entity_view( view_type => 'HostSystem' );
$permission = Permission->new(  
      principal => "$localuser",
      group    => 'false',
      roleId    =>  FindRoleID( $authMgr, $rolename ),
      propagate => 'true', 
);
@permissions = ($permission);
$authMgr->SetEntityPermissions(
            entity    => $host_view,
            permission => @permissions, 
);

I want to assign a local user a custom role (both exist). The role should be assigned on the root level of the host, so that's why I use the view_type HostSystem. What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance

and as usual after asking the question I find the answer on my own https://communities.vmware.com/message/1008552#1008552 It seems I need to apply the permissions on the top folder:

	my $host_view = Vim::find_entity_view(
	view_type => 'Folder',
	filter	=> { 'name' => 'ha-folder-root' }
	);
