Which vcenter permissions?

Get Help

Hi!

I am trying to use this: community.vmware.vmware_guest_sendkey
Unfortunately I cannot find which permissions I need in vcenter. console interation is already added, so that one isn’t it :frowning:

Do you have any idea?

Thanks!

What error do you get?

Looking at Virtual Machine Interaction Privileges maybe Virtual machine.Interaction.Inject USB HID scan codes? I think this is what the modules does.

I’m not sure, this is just an (educated) guess. Might be worth a try.
