vCenter Server permissions to modify virtual machine network settings

Fonte: http://www.running-system.com/vcenter-server-permissions-to-modify-virtual-machine-network-settings/

You think you have set all permissions to allow a vCenter User to change/modify the network settings of a virtual machine, but you still get the following error:

“This host does not have any virtual machine networks, or you don’t have the permission to access them. To configure a network for virtual machines, go to the host’s Configuration tab, click the Networking section,…“?

I am sure, that the role you use has the following settings:

    • Network – Assign Network
    • Virtual Machine – Configuration – Modify device settings
    • Virtual Machine – Configuration – Settings

And I am sure, that you have assigned the role to the virtual machine…

But did you assign the permission to the switch itself, too?

Open: Home – Inventory – Networking and assign the permissions to the Network Label.
