Synopsis

Adds a Global Permission to a user or group

Syntax

Add-vCenterGlobalPermission [-server] <String> [-user] <String> [-pass] <String> [-sddcDomain] <String>
 [-domain] <String> [[-domainBindUser] <String>] [[-domainBindPass] <String>] [-principal] <String>
 [-role] <String> [-propagate] <String> [-type] <String> [-localDomain] [-ProgressAction <ActionPreference>] [<CommonParameters>]

Description

The Add-vCenterGlobalPermission cmdlets assigns the vCenter Server Global Permission to the user or group provided. The cmdlet connects to SDDC Manager using the -server, -user, and -password values:

  • Validates that network connectivity and authentication is possible to SDDC Manager
  • Validates that network connectivity and authentication is possible to vCenter Server
  • Validates that the bind credentials are valid
  • Validates that the domain is present in vCenter Server as an Identity Provider
  • Validates the user or group exists in Active Directory
  • Assigns the user or group to the vCenter Global Permission

If -localDomain is selected, then AD authentication check is skipped and user/group is checked for in the local directory.

Examples

Example 1

Add-vCenterGlobalPermission -server sfo-vcf01.sfo.rainpole.io -user administrator@vsphere.local -pass VMw@re1! -sddcDomain sfo-m01 -domain sfo.rainpole.io -domainBindUser svc-vsphere-ad -domainBindPass VMw@re1! -principal gg-kub-admins -role Admin -propagate true -type group

This example adds the group gg-vc-admins from domain sfo.rainpole.io to the Global Permissions with the Administrator role for vCenter Server instances in the same vCenter Single Sign-On domain as management domain sfo-m01.

Example 2

Add-vCenterGlobalPermission -server sfo-vcf01.sfo.rainpole.io -user administrator@vsphere.local -pass VMw@re1! -sddcDomain sfo-w01 -domain sfo.rainpole.io -domainBindUser svc-vsphere-ad -domainBindPass VMw@re1! -principal gg-vc-admins -role Admin -propagate true -type group

This example adds the group gg-vc-admins from domain sfo.rainpole.io to the Global Permissions with the Administrator role for vCenter Server instances in the same vCenter Single Sign-On domain as workload domain sfo-w01.

Example 3

Add-vCenterGlobalPermission -server sfo-vcf01.sfo.rainpole.io -user administrator@vsphere.local -pass VMw@re1! -sddcDomain sfo-m01 -domain vsphere.local -principal svc-sfo-m01-nsx01-sfo-m01-vc01 -role "NSX to vSphere Integration" -propagate true -type user -localdomain

This example adds the user svc-sfo-m01-nsx01-sfo-m01-vc01@vsphere.local from the vCenter Single Sign-on domain vsphere.local to Global Permissions with the "NSX to vSphere Integration" role for vCenter Server instances in the same vCenter Single Sign-On domain as management domain sfo-m01.
