This Post is part of VMware vSphere Install, Configure, Manage Training.

Make sure you have added vCenter server in Domain and Added Active Directory as identity source in SSO to proceed with providing permissions. If not Please complete previous task first.

3. Click on Permission Tab –> Click on + Green icon to provide permission to users.

4. Select the Role which you want to provide to new Users. In this case I have provided Administrator role. You can also create custom roles and permissions for users.

Select domain from which you want to add users.

You can search user or group name from search Box.

Select users/group and click on Add

6. Click OK to close Select Users/Groups Window.

As per your requirements you check or uncheck Propagate to Children Check box.

In this case I want to propagate permission to all child objects.
