Section Number and Name:
11.3. Creating a VMware User
Describe the issue:
In the [documentation of VMware privileges]. It is written that VMware users need these privileges:
All Privileges -> Datastore -> Allocate Space, Browse datastore, Update Virtual Machine files, Low-level file operations
All Privileges -> Network -> Assign Network
All Privileges -> Resource -> Assign virtual machine to resource pool
All Privileges -> Virtual Machine -> Change Config (All)
All Privileges -> Virtual Machine -> Interaction (All)
All Privileges -> Virtual Machine -> Edit Inventory (All)
All Privileges -> Virtual Machine -> Provisioning (All)
Suggestions for improvement:
All Privileges -> Virtual Machine -> Guest Operations (All) // This permission is missing. After adding the missing permission, now the satellite can provision new hosts with cloud-init customization.
Additional information:
This BZ is applicable for all the versions of the satellite, so update the provision doc for all the supported version of the satellite.
