Hey everyone,
Looking for a little clarity here. Running ESXi 6.7. My environment has 3 hosts, 1 data center, 1 cluster.
I am looking to delegate permissions to a specific group of people to be able to create virtual machines. My current thought is that I would create a folder where all of these VMs should live, and assign the permissions at this level. I went ahead and did this and I am having problems assigning virtual machine to resource pool, allocating space on a datastore, etc..
Looks like I am getting these problems because the permissions I have set are on the folder inside the cluster inside the datacenter. The folder doesn't have any "resource pools" in it, or any datastores in it.
I feel like I could do this by assigning certain rights at the cluster level -- allocating space and assigning a vm to a resource pool. Then allowing create vm on the folder. That seems like a lot of granularity for this which makes me wonder if I am thinking about this correctly.
Ideally I want to give our dev group ability to create/modify/delete vms in a specific area - with the idea that they can't modify ALL VMs, only the ones that apply to them.
How would you accomplish this?
Thanks
Steve
