We’re looking for a way to configure Global Permissions in vCenter. I found the community.vmware.vmware_object_role_permission module, however it does not seem to be able to configure Global Permissions.
Does a module for configuring Global Permissions exist?
I do not think that is possible:
ATM this isn’t possible. There are two PRs trying to implement this:
The problem is that there’s no official API to do this. At least, I didn’t find one yet.
Those two PRs use the MOB to implement this, but I’m doubtful that this is a good approach.
Thank you for the replies. I understand the issue. Configuring permissions on the vCenter top level might be a better way to go for now.
It seem like using “object_name: rootFolder” will configure vCenter top level permissions using the existing community.vmware.vmware_object_role_permission module?
It looks like VMware / Broadcom improved the SDKs (VMware Cloud Foundation Evolution: Unpacking PowerCLI, Software Development Kit, and API Enhancements) a lot. So maybe we can find a better way to implement this than talking to the MOB. Implementing stuff using MOB feels somewhat fragile to me.
I’ve asked here if this would be possible.
